A study of the bi-directional pedestrian flow characteristics at Hong Kong signalized crosswalk facilities

This paper investigates the bi-directional flow characteristics at signalized crosswalk facilities in Hong Kong. Pedestrian flow measurements were conducted at selected signalized crosswalks in Hong Kong urban area with and without the Light Rail Transit (LRT) railway tracks in the median of the carriageway. The pedestrian speed-flow functions for these crosswalk facilities were calibrated. The relationships between the walking speed at capacity and directional distribution of pedestrian flow (or flow ratio) are determined. The effects of different flow ratio on the effective capacity are also investigated. The bi-directional pedestrian flow effects on signalized crosswalk facilities with LRT tracks are found more significant than those without LRT tracks. The result could be used as a basis to improve the assessment of the crosswalk's capacity and to determine the design walking speeds under different flow ratios at signalized crosswalks in Hong Kong and in other Asian cities with similar environments.     

Stated adaptation surveys and choice process: Some methodological issues

The "Stated Adaptation" survey is an interactive technique which allows us to obtain a clearer picture of the attitudes and behaviours of individuals when confronted with hypothetical situations, in particular inexperienced travel conditions. This method makes use of a simulation game whose purpose is to explore on small samples individuals' choice processes when selecting between the different transport alternatives which are available to them. This paper describes how gaming-simulation is designed, with reference to the issues tackled by two surveys which have recently been carried out in France (reactions to urban road pricing and perception of electric vehicles). It describes the benefits of this experimental approach which allows stated behaviours to be checked to a considerable degree. The limits and potential developments of this survey technique are also discussed.

考虑河谷场地效应的大跨度拱桥的地震响应分析

为研究V型河谷场地效应对大跨度钢管混凝土拱桥的地震响应影响,以某大跨度钢管混凝土拱桥为工程背景并简化V型河谷场地模型,建立河谷-拱桥有限元模型,讨论在SV波作用下对桥梁的地震响应影响。结果表明:由于地震荷载是均匀作用在场地,且河谷-拱桥有限元模型是轴对称模型,因此得到的拱桥主拱圈的内力和位移响应趋势是对称分布;不同地震波作用下得到的主拱圈内力和位移响应大小不同,这和拱桥拱脚与场地连接部位的地震动强度和地震波的频谱特性有关;在进行桥梁抗震设计时,SV波作用下拱桥关键部位应重点关注。
