Modelling travellers’ risky choice in a revealed preference context: a comparison of EUT and non-EUT approaches

Recent work on risky choice modelling has sought to address the shortcomings of expected utility theory (EUT) by using non-expected utility theoretic (non-EUT) approaches. However, to date these approaches have been merely tested on stated choice data which is flexible and cheap. In this study, we empirically investigate the feasibility and validity of non-EUT approaches in a revealed preference (RP) context in which travel time distribution is extracted from observed historical travel time data, and subsequently present systematic comparisons between EUT, weighted utility theory, rank-dependent expected utility theory, and prospect theory (PT). The empirical evidence indicates that each non-EUT model has important behavioural insights to offer, moreover, EUT as well as non-EUT models can be applied to the RP context. However, the EUT and non-EUT model fits are generally similar with only PT providing a marginally improved model fit over EUT. The key findings presented in this study reinforce the importance of exploring non-EUT models within a revealed preference context before they can be applied reliably to modelling risky choices in the real world.

正交异性组合桥面构造优化

正交异性组合桥面由于其较好的抗疲劳性能和静力承载能力、相对较轻的自重近年来在实际工程中得到较多应用。正交异性组合桥面通常由正交异性钢板和混凝土层组成,在加入混凝土层后结构刚度发生较大变化,若正交异性板仍采用传统正交异性钢桥面的构造形式将会造成不必要的钢材用量和焊接量增加。采用遗传算法,以单位面积造价最小为目标,结合现有规范考虑了构造约束和承载能力约束两类约束条件,采用两种应力控制方案,对不同桥面板跨度和混凝土厚度的正交异性组合桥面的构造进行优化。同时解决了构造改变导致荷载分配改变对承载能力分析造成的影响。优化结果表明,桥面跨度4.5m时,与未优化组合桥面相比,优化方案用钢量可降低1.7%~10.1%,焊接量可降低16.5%~31.8%。     

Review of Secure Communication Approaches for In-Vehicle Network

In the connected vehicles, connecting interfaces bring threats to the vehicles and they can be hacked to impact the vehicles and drivers. Compared with traditional vehicles, connected vehicles require more information transfer. Sensor signals and critical data must be protected to ensure the cyber security of connected vehicles. The communications among ECUs, sensors, and gateways are connected by in-vehicle networks. This paper discussed the state-of-art techniques about secure communication for in-vehicle networks. First, the related concepts in automotive secure communication have been provided. Then we have compared and contrasted existing approaches for secure communication. We have analyzed the advantages/disadvantages of MAC and digital signatures for message authentication and compared the performance and limitations of different cryptographic algorithms. Firewall and intrusion detection system are introduced to protect the networks. The constraints and features of different intrusion detection approaches are presented. After that, the technical requirements for cryptographic mechanism and intrusion detection policy are concluded. Based on the review of current researches, the future development directions of the automotive network security have been discussed. The purpose of this paper is to review current techniques on automotive secure communication and suggest suitable secure approaches to implement on the in-vehicle networks.

在车身壁板自由阻尼层的优化设计中,提出了考虑阻尼材料参数不确定性波动的稳健性优化设计方法。首先,在车身防火墙、地板和顶棚等区域全敷阻尼材料;其次,以等效辐射声功率(ERP)为优化目标对阻尼层布局进行拓扑优化并验证优化效果;最后,以阻尼层厚度为随机设计变量,损耗因子和弹性模量为随机变量,质量最小为优化目标,并结合径向基函数(RBF)近似模型、蒙特卡洛模拟(MCS)和序列二次规划算法(SQP)对阻尼层进行6σ稳健性优化设计。结果表明,优化后车身自由阻尼层的总质量减少了50.45%,并且车身结构噪声性能达到了6σ质量水平,实现了保证车身轻量化要求下的阻尼层稳健性优化的目标。     

区域多机场系统辐射域竞争均衡模型研究

辐射域竞争与协同态势,体现了多机场系统内各机场的竞争力。本文基于Lotka-Volterra模型对区域多机场系统内的交叉腹地进行竞争均衡研究,以机场综合实力为影响因子,选择各机场在交叉腹地的市场份额为因变量,求解两机场间的竞争稳定状态及满足条件。以长三角机场群内南京禄口机场、杭州萧山机场的腹地交叉区域为例,对其进行数值仿真。结果表明,当两机场间的综合实力比值均大于腹地交叉区域旅客对相应机场的需求量时,两机场将实现各自在辐射域交叉部分的竞争均衡。这为机场提升自身在区域多机场系统内的竞争力提供了一种理论分析方法。
