Tool for Predicting the Ultimate Bending Moment of Ship and Ship-Shaped Hull Girders

The present paper presents a historical review associated with the research works on hull girder strength of ship and ship-shaped structures. Then, a new program is developed to determine the ultimate vertical bending moment of hull girder by applying direct method, stress distribution method, and progressive collapse analysis method. Six ships and ship-shaped structures used in the benchmark study of International Ship and Offshore Structures Congress (ISSC) in 2012 are adopted as examples. The calculation results by applying the developed program are analyzed and compared with the existing results. Finally, the roles of the developed program and its further development are discussed.     

An exploratory investigation of the impact of ramp metering on driver acceleration behavior

Ramp metering has been proven as an effective freeway management strategy; however, the impact of ramp metering on drivers' acceleration behavior has not been fully investigated. A better understanding of acceleration behavior changes with ramp metering is critical to the adequate design of ramp metering facilities. In this study, drivers' speed and acceleration data were collected at two representative metered ramps in Los Angeles, California. The speed and acceleration profiles under meter-on and meter-off scenarios were compared. Statistical results demonstrated that ramp metering affects drivers' acceleration behavior at ramp acceleration lane. It was found that at the metered ramp with short existing acceleration length, the average acceleration rate from ramp meter stop bar to 500 ft downstream under meter-on scenario (4.72 ft./s²) is approximately 40% higher than when meter-off (3.18 ft./s²). The design of acceleration lane length for metered on-ramps should therefore take into account the potential impacts of ramp metering on driver acceleration behavior.

北京市地铁乘客安检安全意识调查分析

近年来,国内外地铁安全事故时有发生,地铁安检作为应对安全隐患的有效防范手段,加强其检查力度也成为国内各个地铁安全部门的共识。安检会增加乘客的延误时间,使乘客对地铁安检颇有微词,乘客与安检员发生冲突的事件也屡有发生。为增强乘客的地铁安全意识,改进安检流程,通过问卷调查和统计分析,对北京市地铁乘客进行调查,分析其评价水平及影响因素。结果表明,北京市地铁乘客的平均安全意识得分为74.16分,为中等水平,其中安全行为、安全态度、安全知识三个维度分别处于较高、中等、较低水平。该调查有助于地铁安全部门有针对性地制定地铁安检的宣传方案,提高服务水平,改善安检流程。
