Optimal joint distance and time toll for cordon-based congestion pricing

This paper addresses the optimal toll design problem for the cordon-based congestion pricing scheme, where both a time-toll and a nonlinear distance-toll (i.e., joint distance and time toll) are levied for each network user’s trip in a pricing cordon. The users’ route choice behaviour is assumed to follow the Logit-based stochastic user equilibrium (SUE). We first propose a link-based convex programming model for the Logit-based SUE problem with a joint distance and time toll pattern. A mathematical program with equilibrium constraints (MPEC) is developed to formulate the optimal joint distance and time toll design problem. The developed MPEC model is equivalently transformed into a semi-infinite programming (SIP) model. A global optimization method named Incremental Constraint Method (ICM) is designed for solving the SIP model. Finally, two numerical examples are used to assess the proposed methodology.     

QoS awared power and admission controls based on non-cooperative game theory in wireless networks

In order to better accommodate heterogeneous quality of service (QoS) in wireless networks, an algorithm called QeS-aware power and admission controls (QAPAC) is proposed. The system is modeled as u non- cooperative game where the users adjust their transmit powers to maximize the utility, thus restraining the interferences. By using adaptive utility functions and tunable pricing parameters according to QoS levels, this algorithm can well meet different QoS reqniremcnts and improve system capacity compared with those that ignore the QoS differ- ences.     

深圳市交通需求管理政策的法治思考

深圳市制定和实施了若干小汽车交通需求管理政策,完善相关政策的法制保障成为政策实施的关键问题。首先结合深圳市交通需求管理实践经验,梳理小汽车增量调控、停车收费政策的制定与实施情况。指出交通需求管理政策的制定与实施面临经济杠杆存在法理争议、行政手段法律依据不足和程序合法性存疑等法治障碍。进而提出在国家层面构建交通管理法治体系、在地方层面完善法律法规以及规范交通需求管理政策出台程序等完善路径。     

寸滩站年最大洪峰演变规律及预报研究

从趋势分析和周期分析两方面分析长江上游寸滩站年最大洪峰流量演变规律.研究表明,寸滩站年最大洪峰流量序列未发生趋势性变化;其主要周期为4a,9a,11a,29a.在此基础上,应用周期与随机模型组合方法对寸滩站1939-2004年最大洪峰流量序列进行预报.率定期的合格率为84.61%,检验期合格率为80%,预测效果较好,该模型可以应用于长期预报中.研究成果对长江三峡水库防洪调度有重要的参考价值.     

交通拥挤收费应用实施的研究

交通拥挤收费不仅能缓解交通拥挤,还能通过收费使交通基础设施获得建设维护的部分资金,其合理性和必要性已经得到充分的论证,然而对于实施的一些基本问题,认识的还很不充分,也就对拥挤收费的实施造成了一些基本障碍。从交通拥挤收费实施的基本原则出发,对收费的基本方式、收费实施的影响因素和实施的策略等方面进行了研究,认识到交通拥挤收费不仅仅是一个技术性的问题,更是一个牵涉到政治、经济、文化和民众心理的问题,因此在实施的过程中必须考虑到收费的公平性、效益性和可持续性。在此基础上,对于目前我国一些城市实施交通拥挤收费的措施提出了一些中肯建议。

主应力轴旋转下中主应力系数对软黏土性状的影响

采用空心圆柱仪对上海原状软黏土进行了不排水剪切试验,研究了主应力轴旋转条件下中主应力系数对饱和软黏土变形与强度特性的影响。采用等压固结模式对软黏土空心薄壁试样进行固结,并在3种不同主应力轴旋转角度下,对试样进行不同中主应力系数的不排水剪切试验。试验前提为剪切过程中平均应力、中主应力系数与主应力轴旋转角度均保持不变,而偏应力逐渐增大,直至试样破坏。试验结果表明:在不同中主应力系数下,天然软黏土的变形与强度特征存在明显的差异,在3种主应力轴旋转角度下,随着中主应力系数的增加,临界应力比均呈降低趋势,相应的峰值剪切强度减小;在主应力轴旋转角度为0°时,中主应力系数为0.25和0.50的试样均出现了轻微的应变局部化现象,剪应力在达到峰值后呈逐渐降低的趋势;在主应力轴旋转角度为90°时,中主应力系数为0.50和0.75的试样所对应的状态为内外压不等的非轴对称拉伸状态,二者的峰值剪切强度比较接近,而中主应力系数为1.00的试样对应的为内外压相等的轴对称拉伸状态,其峰值剪切强度相比前二者降低了25%;在内外压相等的加载条件下,主应力轴旋转角度由0°增加为90°的同时,中主应力系数由0增加为1.00,试样破坏时对应的临界应力比与不排水剪切强度均逐渐降低。     

Tradable credits for managing car travel: a review of empirical research and relevant behavioural approaches

Recently, there has been a surge of interest in Tradable Credits (TC) as an alternative measure to manage the growth of personal car use. This paper summarises the results and methodologies of studies that have sought to anticipate the behavioural responses to several proposed TC schemes that target personal travel. In a critical reflection on this work and in an attempt to inspire future research, we argue that future empirical studies on TC behaviours can greatly benefit from insights from the fields of behavioural economics and cognitive psychology. Therefore, in the second part of the paper, we bring together behavioural concepts from these fields that are relevant in a TC decision-making context. Based on observations from current TC studies and the behavioural mechanisms identified in the second part of the paper, we propose promising directions for future research on understanding the impact of TC on personal car travel.     

供应链企业在各种关系下的价格折扣方案设计

供应链企业间的关系管理是供应链管理的重点,而价格折扣是供应链企业间最常用的关系协调机制。文中用一个有一个供应商与多个经销商的供应链,假定了四种特殊关系,即：（1）横向（经销商之间）、纵向（与供应商）不合作;（2）横向不合作,纵向合作;（3）横向合作,纵向不合作;（4）横向合作,纵向合作。针对供应链企业之间的各种关系设计不同的价格折扣方案以满足供应链企业的利益最大化;对各种关系下的价格折扣方案进行比较,得到了不同关系下价格折扣率的取值范围。
