The identification and empirical characterization of vehicular (Lagrangian) fundamental diagrams in multilane traffic flow

Traditional macroscopic traffic flow modeling framework adopts the spatial–temporal coordinate system to analyze traffic flow dynamics. With such modeling and analysis paradigm, complications arise for traffic flow data collected from mobile sensors such as probe vehicles equipped with mobile phones, Bluetooth, and Global Positioning System devices. The vehicle‐based measurement technologies call for new modeling thoughts that address the unique features of moving measurements and explore their full potential. In this paper, we look into the concept of vehicular fundamental diagram (VFD) and discuss its engineering implications. VFD corresponds to a conventional fundamental diagram (FD) in the kinematic wave (KW) theory that adopts space–time coordinates. Similar to the regular FD in the KW theory, VFD encapsulates all traffic flow dynamics. In this paper, to demonstrate the full potential of VFD in interpreting multilane traffic flow dynamics, we generalize the classical Edie's formula and propose a direct approach of reconstructing VFD from traffic measurements in the vehicular coordinates. A smoothing algorithm is proposed to effectively reduce the nonphysical fluctuation of traffic states calculated from multilane vehicle trajectories. As an example, we apply the proposed methodology to explore the next‐generation simulation datasets and identify the existence and forms of shock waves in different coordinate systems. Our findings provide empirical justifications and further insight for the Lagrangian traffic flow theory and models when applied in practice. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

钢棒加强式轨枕道床的纵横向阻力试验研究

为了探究钢棒加强式轨枕的纵横向阻力机理、分担以及钢棒插入深度和砟肩宽度的影响规律，为川藏铁路长大坡道韧性和稳定性增强提供新方法，通过进行一系列纵横向阻力试验得到了钢棒加强式轨枕纵横向阻力的总体特性和分担情况；通过改变钢棒插入深度和砟肩宽度探究了两者对钢棒加强式轨枕纵横向阻力的影响规律. 结果表明:与普通轨枕相比，钢棒加强式轨枕的纵横向阻力都有提高，当砟肩宽度为500 mm，堆高为0，钢棒插入深度为400 mm时，钢棒加强式轨枕纵横向阻力比肩宽为500 mm、堆高为150 mm条件下普通轨枕分别高39.2%和53.7%，枕底部分横向阻力分担比普通轨枕提升8%，纵向阻力提升26%；钢棒插入深度对道床阻力影响较大，在砟肩宽度为500 mm、堆高为0 时，插入深度由100 mm变至400 mm，相较于普通轨枕肩宽为500 mm、堆高为150 mm的工况，纵向阻力增幅由5.1%变至39.2%，横向阻力增幅由6.1%变至53.7%；砟肩宽度变化时，纵向阻力变化较小，横向阻力变化较大.      

《心往南海》英文节选(续)

(continued from lastissue) Battle of the Xisha Islands In March 1973,the United States,North Viemam and South Viemam signed the tripartite peace-restoring Paris Peace Accords,ending the Indochina war.The United States left some naval ships and military equipment to Saigon authority when it withdrew its military forces from Vietnam.Starting August that year,Vietnamese naval ships continuously entered China's Xi Sha waters,chased and arrested Chinese fishing boats,and attempted to occupy our Xi Sha Islands.Ignoring China's waming,Viemam sent a 2000-ton destroyer,two 1200-ton escorts and a 600-ton gunboat to China's Xi Sha sea area on January 15,1974.To protect the fishing production and state its sovereignty,China sent two 300-ton submarine chasers and two minesweepers to patrol the Yongle Island waters.With the advantage of bigger naval ships and being better armed than the few small Chinese patrol ships,the Vietnamese forced landing on Chenhang Island and Guangjin Island on January 19.They fired at the Chinese garrison on the island,and attacked the patrol formation.The Chinese fleet was forced to fight back,and the Xi Sha counter attack began.     

营运大客车正面碰撞乘员伤害的研究

客车发生正面碰撞事故约占客车碰撞事故的50%~60%。利用LS-DYNA软件,建立了包括假人、安全带和安全气囊在内的大客车车体有限元模型,对不同速度下营运大客车的正面碰撞特性进行了模拟仿真计算,分析了无任何保护措施、佩戴安全带及佩戴安全带且安全气囊起爆三种事故形态下乘员头部HPC值、胸部压缩量和大腿骨轴向接触力等伤害值。研究结果表明,安全带对于驾驶员的保护意义重大,为营运大客车乘员保护设计以及合理制定营运大客车正面碰撞法规提供数据参考。

Dynamic Behavior of Two Part Towing Cable System During Turning

An improved numerical method is used to simulate the dynamic behavior of a two part towing cable systems during turnings. In U turns and full turns, periodical heave motions are found both for the towed vehicle and for the depressor. Periodic motions of the subsea units and of the cable surface tension are closely related to the turning parameters, such as turning velocity and turning radius. System parameters, such as length of the second cable and the vehicle hydrodynamics, also damp turning instability.

PID在汽车防抱死系统中的仿真应用

本文通过数学建模建立了车辆动力学模型、滑移率模型、制动系统模型、轮胎模型、PID控制器等主要模型,然后建立了基于二轮车辆无ABS系统仿真模型、有PID控制器仿真模型,接着分别在高附着系数路面、低附着系数路面和对接路面上进行仿真试验。将三种不同车辆系统的制动时间、制动距离以及车轮是否抱死等性能参数进行对比分析,结果表明无ABS系统的车辆无论在哪种路况下制动,车轮均很快抱死,且制动时间最长,制动距离最大;有PID控制器的车辆可以使车轮滑移率在较短的时间内稳定在最佳滑移率处,避免了车轮抱死,制动距离与制动时间相比无ABS车辆都有明显改善。
