Understanding the impacts of mobile phone distraction on driving performance: A systematic review

The use of mobile phones while driving—one of the most common driver distractions—has been a significant research interest during the most recent decade. While there has been a considerable amount research and excellent reviews on how mobile phone distractions influence various aspects of driving performance, the mechanisms by which the interactions with mobile phone affect driver performance is relatively unexamined. As such, the aim of this study is to examine the mechanisms involved with mobile phone distractions such as conversing, texting, and reading and the driving task, and subsequent outcomes. A novel human-machine framework is proposed to isolate the components and various interactions associated with mobile phone distracted driving. The proposed framework specifies the impacts of mobile phone distraction as an inter-related system of outcomes such as speed selection, lane deviations and crashes; human-car controls such as steering control and brake pedal use and human-environment interactions such as visual scanning and navigation. Eleven literature-review/meta-analyses papers and 62 recent research articles from 2005 to 2015 are critically reviewed and synthesised following a systematic classification scheme derived from the human-machine system framework. The analysis shows that while many studies have attempted to measure system outcomes or driving performance, research on how drivers interactively manage in-vehicle secondary tasks and adapt their driving behaviour while distracted is scant. A systematic approach may bolster efforts to examine comprehensively the performance of distracted drivers and their impact over the transportation system by considering all system components and interactions of drivers with mobile phones and vehicles. The proposed human-machine framework not only contributes to the literature on mobile phone distraction and safety, but also assists in identifying the research needs and promising strategies for mitigating mobile phone-related safety issues. Technology based countermeasures that can provide real-time feedback or alerts to drivers based on eye/head movements in conjunction with vehicle dynamics should be an important research direction.     

九岭山隧道塌方治理及塌方治理效果检测

武吉高速公路九岭山隧道是大庆至广州国家高速公路的重要控制性工程,当隧道开挖至ZK102 217时出现了塌方,滑塌范围高约19 m、宽约13 m,塌方量为4 000 m3。根据现场地质条件,分析认为围岩结构(弱风化板岩,钙质或硅质胶结,岩质坚硬,呈块状镶嵌结构)及地下裂隙水是产生塌方的主要原因。采用的处理措施是加强区段支护、回填塌腔、提高松散体的整体强度,并采用"稳住塌方区、固结塌体、超前加固"的分阶段处理方法。施工中采用φ42超前小导管超前支护、φ42系统小导管压浆固结等措施;开挖采用正台阶法以及拱脚加设锁脚小导管、侧壁施作中空注浆锚杆等措施;通过地质雷达无损检测手段对塌方处理效果进行检测,并根据检测结果进行二次处理。     

南昌市一环路交通指路标志系统优化方案研究

南昌市一环路于2019年成环通车，是南昌市的第一条快速路环线。在分段建设过程中，各建设单位只限于对施工范围内的道路指路信息进行设计和建设，造成一环路成环后指路标志缺乏系统性、连续性，还存在部分路段采用的指路标志等级与道路等级不符等问题。通过分析现状南昌市一环路交通指路标志设置杂乱症结，探索既满足国标又符合南昌市交通发展需要的一环路交通指路标志系统优化方案，为南昌市新建或改建的城市快速路交通指路标志设计提供有益参考。

大跨度钢拱肋整体吊装施工

大跨度钢拱肋在以前大都是分三到五段吊装,在空中进行拼接。这种吊装方法的缺点是:(1)在河道中搭设临时支撑,会影响河道通航;(2)施工工期长;(3)空中拼接时,接头的焊缝质量没有在地面焊接好;(4)空中作业多,安全风险增大。该文介绍了上海川杨桥的83m跨系杆拱桥钢拱肋采用整体吊装施工工艺,较好地解决了上述问题。该施工工艺对今后类似工程的施工有一定的参考价值。     

Spatial econometric analysis of automobile and motorcycle traffic on Indonesian national roads and its socio-economic determinants: Is it local or beyond city boundaries?

The purpose of this paper is to verify the justification provided for a centralized national road policyin Indonesia, namely, that trips on national roads are typically inter-urban, by measuring the spatialdimensions of automobile and motorcycle trips on national roads in Indonesia. The study finds thatmotorcycle trips are characteristically local; by contrast, automobile trips extend beyond city boundaries,although to a limited extent. The results suggest the decentralization of transportation policies for thedevelopment and maintenance of national roads by granting autonomy to local governments when nofiscal externality exists. The results also indicate that road capacity, gasoline prices, income, populationand worker density, city size, and the number of public buses are strong predictors of vehicle kilometerstraveled.
