车辆协同巡航控制系统设计改进与试验评价

为提高交通流运行的机动性、稳定性，对车辆协同巡航控制(CACC)系统进行了改进设计. 基于经典Newell 模型提出了考虑CACC的改进跟驰模型，分析了所提出的CACC改进跟驰模型的动力学特性，给出了CACC改进跟驰模型的线性稳定性条件，并对由CACC车辆和非CACC车辆组成的非均匀车队的不同无线通讯拓扑结构进行了比较研究. 通过数值试验进一步研究了在起步、刹车和意外事件的情况下，CACC车辆的存在对交通流动力学的影响. 研究结果表明，通过合理设计CACC跟驰系统的模型参数取值后，CACC车辆的存在一方面可以提高交通流运行的机动性与稳定性，另一方面可以使交通出行更加的安全和舒适. 此外，由于不同车队中CACC车辆的无线通讯拓扑结构会影响交通流的机动性与稳定性，对于 CACC车辆的无线通讯拓扑结构应慎重的设计与优化.     

诱导信息下城市轨道交通乘客路径选择行为研究

为研究城市轨道交通诱导信息对乘客的影响，考虑信息提供时间、方式、更新频率及其与 路径属性之间的交互关系，提出融合诱导信息的城市轨道交通乘客路径选择行为决策框架。考 虑乘客在决策时表现出遵循混合决策规则的倾向差异和不同属性感知差异，建立改进的混合效用-后悔模型。将路径属性与诱导信息同时纳入调研情景设计，基于调研结果标定模型中关键参数，结果表明，基于混合决策规则的模型拟合效果最高(调整优度比达0.396)。进一步分析乘客对信息的偏好：相较于下载手机APP，乘客更喜欢社交媒体推送的形式接收诱导信息；引入信息推送频率时间价值，并对比得出，女性、中老年及非通勤乘客更倾向于接受更高频率的诱导信息推送服务；分析各属性弹性值，表明诱导信息提供方式和更新频率应作为管理者的辅助手段，在特定场景下(例如高峰拥堵和突发事故)诱导信息将会发挥更大的作用。研究揭示了诱导信息提供方式如何影响轨道交通乘客的路径决策机理，有助于设计更加精准和高效的诱导信息策略辅助客流组织管理。     

A statistical analysis of consumer perceptions towards automated vehicles and their intended adoption

ABSTRACT

While automated vehicle (AV) development continues to progress rapidly, how the public will accept and adopt automated vehicles remains an open question. Using extensive survey data, we apply cluster analysis to better understand consumer perceptions toward potential benefits and concerns related to AVs with regard to factors influencing their AV adoption likelihood. Four market segments are identified – ‘benefits-dominated,’ ‘concerns-dominated,’ ‘uncertain,’ and ‘well-informed.’ A random parameters multinomial logit model is then estimated to identify factors influencing the probability of respondents belonging to one of these four market segments. Among other influences (such as socio-economic and current travel characteristics), it is found that ‘Millennials’ have a higher probability of belonging to the well-informed market segment, ‘Gen-Xers’ with a lower probability to the uncertain market segment, and ‘Baby Boomers’ with a higher probability to the concerns-dominated market (relative to the ‘Great Generation’). We also study the individuals’ expressed likelihood of AV adoption using separate random parameters ordered probit estimations for each of the four market segments. The substantial and statistically significant differences across each AV consumer market segment underscore the potentially large impact that different consumer demographics may have on AV adoption and the need for targeted marketing to achieve better market-penetration outcomes.     

基于G1法的海外铁路项目风险评价方法研究

为了提高海外铁路项目风险评估和项目管理水平,解决“一带一路”倡议下铁路“走出去”的技术难题,建立了海外铁路项目风险评价指标体系和多级评价模型。首先,根据层次分析法的原理,按照项目风险来源性质的不同,建立了由5个1级指标和15个2级指标组成的海外铁路项目风险评价指标体系;其次,利用G1法对专家关于指标重要程度的排序意见进行集结,计算得到指标的权重;然后,通过将各风险指标的定性评价划分为5个等级,并对各等级进行定量赋值,建立了海外铁路项目风险多级评价模型;最后,利用委内瑞拉迪阿铁路进行实例分析。实例分析结果表明:迪阿铁路项目的综合风险达到6.02,属于较高风险,评估计算结果与实际相符,从而验证了模型的有效性和实用性。

A new logit‐artificial neural network ensemble for mode choice modeling: a case study for border transport

Logit model is one of the statistical techniques commonly used for mode choice modeling, while artificial neural network (ANN) is a very popular type of artificial intelligence technique used for mode choice modeling. Ensemble learning has evolved to be very effective approach to enhance the performance for many applications through integration of different models. In spite of this advantage, the use of ANN‐based ensembles in mode choice modeling is under explored. The focus of this study is to investigate the use of aforementioned techniques for different number of transportation modes and predictor variables. This study proposes a logit‐ANN ensemble for mode choice modeling and investigates its efficiency in different situations. Travel between Khobar‐Dammam metropolitan area of Saudi Arabia and Kingdom of Bahrain is selected for mode choice modeling. The travel on this route can be performed mainly by air travel or private vehicle through King Fahd causeway. The results show that the proposed ensemble gives consistently better accuracies than single models for multinomial choice problems irrespective of number of input variables.

Assessment of spatial transferability of an activity-based model,TASHA

Spatial transferability has been recognized as a useful validation test for travel demand models. To date, however, transferability of activity-based models has not been frequently assessed. This paper assesses the spatial transferability of an activity-based model, TASHA (Travel Activity Scheduler for Household Agents), which has been developed for the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Canada. TASHA has been transferred to the context of the Island of Montreal, Canada using the 2003 Origin–Destination (O–D) travel survey and the 2001 Canadian Census. It generates daily schedules of activities (individual and joint) for each individual in this region. The modelled activity attributes (frequency, start time, duration and distance) from TASHA and observed attributes from the 2003 O–D travel survey are compared for five different activities (i.e. work, school, shopping, other, and return to home). At the aggregate level, TASHA provides quite reasonable outcomes (in some cases – better results than for the Toronto Area) for all four attributes for work, school and return to home activities with few exceptions (for instance, school start time). The model outcomes are also promising for shopping frequency and start times; however, TASHA provides larger differences for average shopping durations and distances. Only the forecasts for all four attributes for the ‘other’ activity type differ greatly with the observed attributes for the Montreal Island. These large differences most likely indicate the differences in behaviour between the Montreal Island and the Toronto Area. In general, we conclude that re-estimation of model parameters and the use of local activity attribute distributions (frequency, start time and duration) is a desirable step in the transfer of the TASHA model from one context to another.     

The relationship between land use and automobile travel utility: A Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes approach

The relationship between land use and the utility of automobile travel is examined by refining the utility concept, particularly by combining the microeconomic utility theory, which is concerned with the disutility of travel, and the perspective on the positive utility. A conceptual model is accordingly developed and then adjusted considering different purposes of travel. The purpose-specific models are tested through a Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes approach in Seoul, Korea, using datasets from a sample survey and geographic information systems. The major finding is that land use affects the utility mainly by changing synergy and affective utility rather than instrumental utility, which encompasses disutility variables. Among land use variables, the utility is found to be the most sensitive to the number of transit facilities for commuting and shopping travel and land use balance for leisure travel.

A multiobjective land development optimization model: the case of New Castle County,Delaware

This paper develops a multiobjective optimization model to consider transportation impacts of the future development of land. The output of the model is the best location and type of land use that has minimal negative transportation effects and uses the maximum available public transportation infrastructure. It provides tools for both planners and transportation engineers and enables them to consider different scenarios of possible policies and land development. Since multiple objectives and their nonlinear structures are considered, the model is solved using mixed integer nonlinear programming. The final results are shown in both tabular and graphical format. The effectiveness of the model is applied to the northern part of New Castle County, Delaware. The results show that the model successfully finds the best locations for both residential and commercial land uses in order to meet several criteria discussed in the paper.
