基于道路特征信息变化率的公路线形质量评价

公路线形质量对行车的舒适性和安全性有着非常重要的影响，如何合理有效地对其进行评价是一个有待解决的问题。从驾驶员行车时接受道路信息的角度出发，提出了道路特征信息变化率的概念，并作为评价公路线形质量的定量指标运用到平面线形、纵断面线形和平纵组合的评价研究中。研究表明：平曲线半径越小，驾驶员接受的道路特性信息变化率越大，驾驶员负担也越重；此外，平曲线长度、竖曲线半径及平纵组合都对道路特性信息变化率有较大的影响。研究成果可为改善公路线形，提高行车安全提供依据。

Sustainability and automobility among the elderly: An international assessment

In the next three decades there will a huge increase in both the absolute number of older people and in their percentage of the populationin almost all Western European countries, North America, and Australia. Most older people will have active lifestyles in which mobility and access play a major role and almost all older men and a majority of older women will be car drivers, used to the convenience and flexibility which the car provides.Using data from the US, Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom, the paper shows that, in spite of cultural and policy differences, older people around the world are more likely to have a license, to take more trips, and to do so more often as the driver of a car than older people just a decade ago; they are also less likely to use public transit. These trends have a number of sustainability implications – the most obvious one is increased environmental pollution. For example, even though older people may travel less than younger drivers they may be polluting proportionately more because a) they are less likely to make as great a proportion of trips in public transit as younger people and b) the trips they do make may create more pollutants. In addition, older drivers may incur more wasted miles due to wayfinding errors and trip-scouting behavior. And when older people curtail their driving, younger family members may have to increase (or lengthen) their trip-making to provide needed services or additional transportation.While this paper stresses the environmental problems posed by an aging population, effective strategies arise from a focus on a broader definition of sustainability. The most important approach is to accept the inevitable and work to make the private car "greener" and safer. New transit service concepts and strategic community and neighborhood design and service elements can complement the development of cleaner cars.Although many of the potential strategies are not new, or can be expensive to implement, the convergence of environmental concerns with other problems arising from the automobility of the elderly – including increasing crash rates and serious loss of mobility among those unable to drive – may make these policies more politically viable than in the past.     

Integrated solution for anomalous driving detection based on BeiDou/GPS/IMU measurements

There has been an increasing role played by Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) in Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) applications in recent decades. In particular, centimeter/decimetre positioning accuracy is required for some safety related applications, such as lane control, collision avoidance, and intelligent speed assistance. Lane-level Anomalous driving detection underpins these safety-related ITS applications. The two major issues associated with such detection are (1) accessing high accuracy vehicle positioning and dynamic parameters; and (2) extraction of irregular driving patterns from such information. This paper introduces a new integrated framework for detecting lane-level anomalous driving, by combining Global Positioning Systems (GPS), BeiDou, and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) with advanced algorithms. Specifically, we use Unscented Particle Filter (UPF) to perform data fusion with different positioning sources. The detection of different types of Anomalous driving is achieved based on the application of a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) with a newly introduced velocity-based indicator. The framework proposed in this paper yield significantly improved accuracy in terms of positioning and Anomalous driving detection compared to state-of-the-art, while offering an economically viable solution for performing these tasks.     

Economic analysis of ride-sourcing markets

Ride-sourcing refers to an emerging urban mobility service that private car owners drive their own vehicles to provide for-hire rides. This paper analyzes the ride-sourcing market using an aggregate model where the matchings between customers and drivers are captured by an exogenous matching function. It is found that without any regulatory intervention a monopoly ride-sourcing platform will maximize the joint profit with its drivers. On the other hand, the first-best solution is not sustainable when the matching function exhibits increasing returns to scale and the cost function of the platform is subject to economies of scale. Regardless of the examined market scenarios, the average waiting time of customers is proportional to the average searching time of drivers. We establish conditions for regulators to solely regulate the commission charged by the platform to guarantee the second-best. We further investigate the competition of ride-sourcing platforms and find that competition does not necessarily lower the price level or improve social welfare. In the latter case, regulators may rather encourage the merger of the platforms and regulate them directly as a monopolist.

高速公路加铺热拌超薄磨耗层级配设计研究

热拌超薄磨耗层是公路预防性养护的有效技术之一，基于某高速超薄磨耗层预防性养护工程，对不同级配进行路用性能试验研究。结果表明，不同级配混合料孔隙率随着2.36 mm筛孔通过率的增加而降低，细集料和矿粉均会填充混合料孔隙而且矿粉的填充效果为细集料的3倍。随着超薄磨耗层级配由粗变密，混合料马歇尔稳定度增加，肯塔堡飞散损失降低，疲劳寿命下降，采用矿粉作为填料的混合料性能显著优于细集料。相关性分析结果表明，超薄磨耗层混合料马歇尔稳定度，飞散损失以及疲劳性能与孔隙率存在较好的相关性，TSR结果与沥青膜厚度存在较好的相关性。超薄磨耗层的设计需要充分考虑孔隙率与沥青膜厚度指标。
