Multi-modal traffic signal control with priority,signal actuation and coordination

Both coordinated-actuated signal control systems and signal priority control systems have been widely deployed for the last few decades. However, these two control systems are often conflicting with each due to different control objectives. This paper aims to address the conflicting issues between actuated-coordination and multi-modal priority control. Enabled by vehicle-to-infrastructure (v2i) communication in Connected Vehicle Systems, priority eligible vehicles, such as emergency vehicles, transit buses, commercial trucks, and pedestrians are able to send request for priority messages to a traffic signal controller when approaching a signalized intersection. It is likely that multiple vehicles and pedestrians will send requests such that there may be multiple active requests at the same time. A request-based mixed-integer linear program (MILP) is formulated that explicitly accommodate multiple priority requests from different modes of vehicles and pedestrians while simultaneously considering coordination and vehicle actuation. Signal coordination is achieved by integrating virtual coordination requests for priority in the formulation. A penalty is added to the objective function when the signal coordination is not fulfilled. This “soft” signal coordination allows the signal plan to adjust itself to serve multiple priority requests that may be from different modes. The priority-optimal signal timing is responsive to real-time actuations of non-priority demand by allowing phases to extend and gap out using traditional vehicle actuation logic. The proposed control method is compared with state-of-practice transit signal priority (TSP) both under the optimized signal timing plans using microscopic traffic simulation. The simulation experiments show that the proposed control model is able to reduce average bus delay, average pedestrian delay, and average passenger car delay, especially for highly congested condition with a high frequency of transit vehicle priority requests.

SPECT颌骨静态显像对良恶性病变的鉴别诊断价值

应用SPECT(单光子发射计算机断层仪)对正常领骨30例和病人53例行SPECT颌骨静态显像,结果表明领骨良恶性肿瘤病变其SPECT静态像的核素浓集程度和方式、病变侧放射性计数(A)与健侧放射性计数(N)的比值(A/N)差异有高度显著性(P<0.005),病变范围大小同X线对照表明;当领骨肿瘤其SPECT静态图的病变范围明显大于X线显示的病变,则肿瘤的恶性可能性大。以上的结果为临床上对良恶性颌骨病变的鉴别提供了较重要的根据和定量筛选恶性病变的指标。
