Traffic signal timing problems with environmental and equity considerations

Traffic signal timings in a road network can not only affect total user travel time and total amount of traffic emissions in the network but also create an inequity problem in terms of the change in travel costs of users traveling between different locations. This paper proposes a multi‐objective bi‐level programming model for design of sustainable and equitable traffic signal timings for a congested signal‐controlled road network. The upper level of the proposed model is a multi‐objective programming problem with an equity constraint that maximizes the reserve capacity of the network and minimizes the total amount of traffic emissions. The lower level is a deterministic network user equilibrium problem that considers the vehicle delays at signalized intersections of the network. To solve the proposed model, an approach for normalizing incommensurable objective functions is presented, and a heuristic solution algorithm that combines a penalty function approach and a simulated annealing method is developed. Two numerical examples are presented to show the effects of reserve capacity improvement and green time proportion on network flow distribution and transportation system performance and the importance of incorporating environmental and equity objectives in the traffic signal timing problems.

管片接头改进条带算法的关键问题研究

为使管片接头改进条带算法结果更加可靠,汇总了对结果影响最大的关键问题,采用理论分析和数值模拟等手段对问题逐一分析,并给出相应的初步建议。研究表明,改进条带算法中的混凝土有效宽度取值的合理范围是0.8~1.0倍的管片厚度;直斜弯螺栓与混凝土的变形协调关系是有区别的,给出了不同螺栓的变形增量与混凝土变形的关系公式;在手孔区接头板混凝土较薄时,应计入接头板局部变形对螺栓刚度的影响;混凝土材料宜选用满足安全概率的非线性参数,传力衬垫材料宜选用稳载条件下的试验曲线参数。研究结论是对改进条带算法关键细节补充完善,对同类力学模型算法也有借鉴意义。

The Quiet Revolution in Visual Resource Management: A view from the coast

Abstract

This introductory piece traces the growth of knowledge and activity associated with visual resource management in general. A specific framework of questions regarding methods of coastal zone visual resource management is presented. The state‐of‐the‐art in methodological studies is listed for each question, and the methodological questions are related to the major articles with the special issue of the Coastal Zone Management Journal. Major legal federal statutes, state statutes, and court cases are reviewed in light of visual resource management in the coastal zone. The remaining articles within the special issue that deal with integration of VRM into decision‐making are then arrayed against a management framework. This framework includes regulatory situations for (1) public land management and planning, (2) public projects involving private lands, and (3) public regulation of private projects.
