Speed management strategies and drivers' attitudes in Thailand

In Thailand where speeding on highways and roads has been a key contributing factor in road traffic crashes, considerable efforts to control vehicle speeds have been made, mostly through speed limit enforcement. However, the fact that speed limits are very often violated on a large scale in Thailand suggests the need for implementing more effective speed management strategies such as automatic speed cameras, increasing speeding penalty, and smart vehicle design to control vehicle speeds. While the effectiveness of such measures depends mainly on how well they could lead drivers to change speeding behavior, public acceptability is also vital as a key to sustainability of most speed management programs. This paper attempts to identify public acceptability of speed management measures, both currently implemented and under consideration, in Thailand. In doing so, data from the questionnaire surveys based on a random sample of 2180 drivers in Thailand including a wide range of individual characteristics of respondents and their attitudes to select speed management schemes are analyzed using an econometric technique. In particular, we introduce a simplified methodological framework to develop a better understanding of factors that explain drivers' attitudes towards speeding behavior and alternative speed management strategies. Findings from this research provide several important implications that could improve the current practices of speed management in Thailand.     

信号交叉口进出口段限速标志对运行效率的影响研究

限速标志在对速度管控的同时,对运行效率也有影响。作者以嘉兴市G320-文昌路平面信号交叉口为例,结合实地调研与VISIIM模拟,运用前后对比法分析了该交叉口设置基本路段限速90 km/h和在进口前100米限速70 km/h及全段80 km/h限速两种限速情形下的行程时间、延误时间、排队长度及停车次数的差异。结果表明,在信号交叉口进口范围内设置较基本路段低的限速,对交通安全改善作用不大,还会在一定程度上降低运行效率。

基于精度评定理论的高速铁路曲线桥梁水平位移监测方法分析研究

在桥梁水平位移监测中,基于当前高铁桥梁不规则线型增多的情况,针对传统精度分析方法只能掌握监测点沿桥梁中轴线垂直方向的偏差且是基于简易误差传播理论,而施工监测中需掌握沿某特定方向的精度。因此,结合跨淮河某桥梁,创新采用误差椭圆理论对小角法、角度交会法、距离交会等监测方法进行精度评定,结果认为小角法对于曲线桥梁适用性较差,而后方交会和极坐标组合方法能够产生较小的误差椭圆和点位精度,期望结论对相关桥梁工程有所借鉴。
