Dynamic simulation of train–truck collision at level crossings

Trains crashing onto heavy road vehicles stuck across rail tracks are more likely occurrences at level crossings due to ongoing increase in the registration of heavy vehicles and these long heavy vehicles getting caught in traffic after partly crossing the boom gate; these incidents lead to significant financial losses and societal costs. This paper presents an investigation of the dynamic responses of trains under frontal collision on road trucks obliquely stuck on rail tracks at level crossings. This study builds a nonlinear three-dimensional multi-body dynamic model of a passenger train colliding with an obliquely stuck road truck on a ballasted track. The model is first benchmarked against several train dynamics packages and its predictions of the dynamic response and derailment potential are shown rational. A geometry-based derailment assessment criterion is applied to evaluate the derailment behaviour of the frontal obliquely impacted trains under different conditions. Sensitivities of several key influencing parameters, such as the train impact speed, the truck mass, the friction at truck tyres, the train–truck impact angle, the contact friction at the collision zone, the wheel/rail friction and the train suspension are reported.     

公路隧道下穿饮用水水池的爆破控制

本项目是新建隧道下穿原有饮用水水池,因直线距离较小、且水池安全要求较高,无法使用传统爆破开挖,为保证水池正常使用,施工时严格控制同一段雷管起爆装药量,使爆破振动速度降低到安全范围内,并对爆破震动速度进行监测,确保在水池附近的振动处于可控。     

大型铁路客运枢纽换乘服务研究

站在运输服务设计的角度,以增强旅客换乘出行体验为目的,提出“人、行李分离”的换乘服务理念,并基于该服务理念设计铁路客运枢纽内同站和异站换乘的方案。异站换乘方案设计时,提出铁路专用车的概念,打造一种全新的换乘模式,满足旅客换乘出行的多元化需求,吸引旅客主动换乘。最后,从心理和生理舒适性两个角度对换乘服务理念进行评价,结果表明“人、行李分离”服务创造了旅客换乘出行附加价值,提高了旅客的换乘出行体验感。     

下沉短桩越顶问题的有限元分析

下埋短桩是一种介于抗滑键与全长桩的一种特殊的抗滑桩,在合适的位置上采用将桩顶下沉设置较短的桩就可使边坡达到设计要求的安全系数,而桩身内力较全长桩有所降低,因此从经济角度与受力方面来看,具有良好的应用前景,但是滑体有可能沿桩顶失稳剪出,导致边坡工程失败,在应用上受到了很大的制约.现以云阳县太公沱至余家包库岸大咀段库岸滑坡工程为例,对用下埋短桩治理后是否越过抗滑短桩桩顶问题,采用了有限元强度折减法验证.

平行流交叉口行人过街控制策略研究

为解决平行流交叉口行人与机动车冲突问题,考虑行人与机动车在冲突点为寻找间隙穿越的交替穿插的抢行博弈过程,重新设计行人过街信号相位方案,提出人车搭接相位行人过街模式;考虑行人专用相位过街模式,给出两种行人过街模式的信号控制策略;构建优化模型,并对模型等价变换,降低计算复杂度.结果显示：常规交叉口处于高饱和状态时,两种行人过街模式下平行流交叉口分别降低了73.8%、50.3%的车均延误,故人车搭接相位过街模式效益更优;人车搭接相位过街模式与不考虑行人过街模式相比,交叉口车均延误仅增加 0.6~3.8 s⋅ pcu-1 .研究成果可为平行流交叉口行人信号配时提供理论依据.     

The use of gait parameters to evaluate pedestrian behavior at scramble phase signalized intersections

Pedestrian scramble phasing is usually implemented to reduce pedestrian‐vehicle conflicts and therefore increase the safety of the intersection. However, to adequately determine the benefits of scramble phasing, it is necessary to understand how pedestrians react to such an unconventional design. This study investigates changes in pedestrian crossing behavior following the implementation of a scramble phase by examining the spatiotemporal gait parameters (step length and step frequency). This detailed microscopic‐level analysis provides insight into changes in pedestrian walking mechanisms as well as the effect of various pedestrian and intersection characteristics. The study uses video data collected at a scramble phase signalized intersection in Oakland, California. Gait parameters were found to be influenced by pedestrian gender, age, group size, crosswalk length, and pedestrian signal indications. Both average step length and walking speed were significantly higher for diagonally crossing pedestrians compared with pedestrians crossing on the conventional crosswalks. Pedestrians were found to have the tendency to increase their step length more than their step frequency to increase walking speed. It was also found that, compared with men, women generally increase their walking speed by increasing their step frequency more than step length. However, when in non‐compliance with signal indications, women increase their walking speed by increasing their step length more than step frequency. It was also found that older pedestrians do not significantly change their walking behavior when in non‐compliance with signal indications. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

盾构法联络通道密封垫设计及防水试验研究

为探究适合盾构法联络通道工程的密封垫断面形式,以宁波市轨道交通3号线第1条盾构法联络通道为工程背景,针对遇水膨胀橡胶设计阴阳凹凸、圆形孔洞、梳形、矩形等4类断面。对各断面形式进行可行性分析,选取阴阳凹凸断面与矩形断面作为初选方案。利用Abaqus/Explicit计算模块对2种断面的接触应力进行有限元分析,通过设计“一”字缝耐水压力试验,验证数值模拟中接触应力较大的矩形断面的防水能力。研究表明： 1）数值模拟结果显示,接触面最大接触应力与平均接触应力均随着张开量的增加而减小; 同等张开量与错台量下,在压缩与膨胀2个阶段中,矩形断面的接触应力均大于阴阳凹凸断面,因此选取矩形断面作为备选方案。2）“一”字缝耐水压力试验结果表明,矩形断面密封垫保压48 h后耐水压力明显提升,且张开量越大耐水压力提升幅度越大。3）综合数值模拟与试验结果可知,该矩形断面密封垫满足0.6 MPa的防水要求。
