Maritime accident investigation and temporal determinants of maritime accidents: A case study

This paper presents the results of an investigation into temporal determinants of maritime accidents based on a data-set obtained from the proceedings of formal inquiries in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR). The results show that there is no statistically significant outcome between the probability for an accident and the time of watch. Thus the results do not confirm previous studies, which reported significant time of day effects.The outcome of this study indicates that marine inquiries can provide useful data for an analysis of underlying causes of maritime accidents. It is suggested that accident inquiries should be extended into the area of watch systems employed and should record the hours of work and of rest of the officers on the watch involved in a maritime accident.     

The role of professional associations in shipping

This article is in three parts. The first covers the historical development of qualifying associations. The second covers the particular role of maritime institutions that include The Royal Institution of Naval Architects, The Institute of Marine Engineering Science and Technology and The Nautical Institute. The third and final section considers the future for maritime professional associations in the context of international shipping.

铁路桥梁与车辆动力相互作用的协调条件分析

准确分析车桥系统动力相互作用的协调条件是车桥耦合振动计算中的重要一环。通过建立轮轨作用点轮轨力和位移向量与桥梁结构单元等效节点荷载和节点位移向量之间的关系,并考虑到轨道不平顺的影响,确立了系统动力相互作用的协调条件。其中特别考虑了各种参数由轨面向桥梁结构形心的转换及多线桥的偏载问题。应用上述方法,通过实例计算,分析了一双线铁路斜拉桥在偏载作用下的动力特性。结果表明,多线桥的偏载问题是不容忽视的。

基于闭环力反馈原理的非线性液压主动阻尼悬架模型的研究及优化设计

本文在理论上建立了一套基于主动力反馈原理的新型主动阻尼悬架的设计和优化方法。首先提出了该主动阻尼悬架的实现模型，该模型是在传统的液力减振器的基础上，应用半主动控制的思想，结合力反馈的原理建立起来的内部液压反馈阻尼网络模型。理论优化分析和计算机仿真表明，通过该液阻网络模型，即可以实现电控的主动阻尼悬架的功能，它可以根据汽车行驶路况的好坏，自适应地调节悬架阻尼大小以实现主动阻尼悬架的最优控制。

Development and Deployment of Public Transport Policy and Planning in Taiwan

Over the past decade, the escalating roadway congestion and environmental deterioration due to heavy use of private vehicles have provoked the Taiwan government to realize the importance of public transport systems. Under the “carrot-and-stick” rationales, the government has formulated public transport policies and exercised a series of related initiatives by providing sufficient and higher quality of public transport services so as to attract more private vehicle users. In this paper, the planning philosophy and policy formulation of Taiwan’s public transport development are highlighted. The most important initiatives, including the Five-year Enhancement of Mass Transportation Program and the upgrading public transport schemes in the National Development Plan are examined. Based on previous experience and lessons, we point out the most challenging issues that the government will encounter. Suggestions for the future of public transport planning are also addressed.     

Analysis of Driver's Decelerating Strategy in a Car-following Situation

This report describes a decelerating driver-model expressed by driving mode transition in car-following situations. The assumptions for constructing the model are that decelerating strategy of a driver is classified into several simple driving modes and that a driver changs his driving modes based on his perceptible characteristics and experiential rules. Deceleration action is divided into three states; following, standing and braking, which are applied to the model. The model has two paths for driver's decelerating action, one of which is selected by the driver based on the perceptible characteristics and experiential rules. The suitability of the model has been experimentally verified.
