基于随机Petri网的GSM-R双层网络建模与性能分析

利用随机Petri网,综合信道降质、链路中断、越区切换、灾害等因素,建立GSM-R的同站址网络与交织站址网络的故障模型,针对同站址与交织站址两种不同的网络结构,给出利用马尔可夫链求解可靠性与可用性的方法。通过马尔可夫链的有关概率分别计算:不同网络结构的可靠性;不同列车运行速度对应不同网络结构的可用性。分析计算结果表明:同站址网络的可靠性与可用性远高于交织站址网络,主要原因是同站址网络中一层基站业务中断时不会导致系统失效,交织站址网络中一层基站业务中断时,并联的另一层相邻两个基站均可以提供业务才不会导致系统失效。另外,同站址网络中越区切换速率较小,有效减小了列车越区切换对可靠性与可用性的影响。     

Fractional-order-based ACC/CACC algorithm for improving string stability

Traffic flow optimization and driver comfort enhancement are the main contributions of an Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system. If communication links are added, more safety and shorter gaps can be reached performing a Cooperative-ACC (CACC). Although shortening the inter-vehicular distances directly improves traffic flow, it can cause string unstable behavior. This paper presents fractional-order-based control algorithms to enhance the car-following and string stability performance for both ACC and CACC vehicle strings, including communication temporal delay effects. The proposed controller is compared with state-of-the-art implementations, exhibiting better performance. Simulation and real experiments have been conducted for validating the approach.     

Travel time estimation oriented freeway sensor placement problem considering sensor failure

Optimal sensor placement on freeway corridor is of great interest to transportation authorities. However, current traffic sensors are easily subject to various failures. Therefore, it is necessary to incorporate sensor failure into the optimal sensor placement model. In this article, a two-stage stochastic model is proposed for the purpose of travel time estimation on freeway corridor. To balance the effectiveness and reliability, a stochastic conditional value at risk (CVaR) model is also proposed. Since both models are too complicated, a customized genetic algorithm is developed. Numerical experiments show that considering sensor failure makes a significant performance improvement in the sensor placement pattern. Sensitivity analysis is also applied to investigate the impact of a number of allowable sensors and different traffic sensor failure probability.     

A new model for temporal–spatial stochastic analysis of vehicle–track coupled systems

The vehicle–track coupled system has a random nature in the time–space domain. This paper proposes a computational model to analyse the temporal–spatial stochastic vibrations of vehicle–track systems, where the vehicle–track system is divided into a vehicle subsystem, track subsystem, and interfacial subsystem between the wheel and rail. In this model, the time-varying randomicity of dynamical parameters of the vehicle system, correlation, and randomness of the track structural parameters in the time–space joint dimensions, and randomness of the track random irregularities are considered. A probability dimension-reduction method was used to randomly combine different random variables. Furthermore, the probability density evolution method was applied to solve the delivery problem of probabilities between excitation inputs and response outputs. The temporal–spatial stochastic vibrations of the vehicle–track system with different coefficients of variation were studied, in which we assumed that the dynamic parameters obeyed the normal distribution, and the stochastic simulation method of the track random irregularities is probed into. The calculated results from this model are consistent with the actual measured results and physical conceptions. Thus, the temporal–spatial stochastic evolutionary mechanism can be explored, and the limits of dynamic indices can be formulated by using this developed model.

Investigating micro-simulation error in activity-based travel demand forecasting: a case study of the FEATHERS framework

Activity-based models of travel demand have received considerable attention in transportation planning and forecasting in recent years. However, in most cases they use a micro-simulation approach, thereby inevitably including a stochastic error that is caused by the statistical distributions of random components. As a consequence, running a transport micro-simulation model several times with the same input will generate different outputs, which baffles practitioners in applying such a model and in interpreting the results. A common approach is therefore to run the model multiple times and to use the average value of the results. The question then becomes: what is the minimum number of model runs required to reach a stable result? In this paper, systematic experiments are carried out using Forecasting Evolutionary Activity-Travel of Households and their Environmental RepercussionS (FEATHERS), an activity-based micro-simulation modelling framework currently implemented for the Flanders region of Belgium. Six levels of geographic detail are taken into account. Three travel indices – average daily activities per person, average daily trips per person and average daily distance travelled per person, as well as their corresponding segmentations – are calculated by running the model 100 times. The results show that the more disaggregated the level, the larger the number of model runs is needed to ensure confidence. Furthermore, based on the time-dependent origin-destination table derived from the model output, traffic assignment is performed by loading it onto the Flemish road network, and the total vehicle kilometres travelled in the whole Flanders are subsequently computed. The stable results at the Flanders level provides model users with confidence that application of FEATHERS at an aggregated level requires only limited model runs.

刹车状况下桥上随机车流动态演化及车-桥耦合振动分析

为实现刹车时桥上多状态车流并行动态演化的高真实度模拟和时变汽车荷载与桥梁运动状态的时时耦合,首先从宏观和微观上丰富随机车流模拟方法,宏观上沿用交通荷载调查数据中的车辆顺序、车辆基本特性等不变量,以车辆间距为服从正态分布的限幅随机变量,形成深度融合交通荷载调查数据和交通流理论的随机车流高真实度仿真方法;微观上对车辆间距随机变量确定的关键状态-阻塞状态,引入加权速度,实现阻塞密度时车流的走走停停动态描述,采用考虑驾驶人状态的概率分布方法确定车辆时距;实现多密度随机车流的高真实度仿真。其次细化刹车过程模拟,建立车流差异化刹车模型：采用顺次对比方法,筛选桥长范围最不利刹车车流;引入停车视距,考虑驾驶人反应,区分头车和跟驰车辆,精细模拟车辆刹车动态过程和刹车车流演化过程,差异化确定各车辆刹车参数;实现桥上多状态车流并行动态演化模拟。第三建立刹车力学模型,并融入至已有正常车流的车-桥耦合系统,构建可考虑刹车状态的分析系统。最后确定桥梁典型响应和分析指标,以一座大跨斜拉桥为例,对多刹车工况下的桥梁响应进行分析。结果表明：桥上刹车状况一般会产生超过正常行驶状况下的桥梁响应,最不利单车道刹车状况下的塔根弯矩甚至达到跑车工况的2.7倍,简单采用规范冲击系数方法很难实现刹车响应的包络;刹车过程中的桥梁响应最值不仅与采取刹车的车辆数目和桥上车辆保有量有关,还受刹车作用与桥梁原响应趋势的顺逆程度控制;桥梁及桥上刹停车辆的总质量和桥上正常行驶的车辆决定桥梁响应时程曲线趋势振幅;典型桥梁响应的总体趋势,与车流密度和刹车车道数相关性较小,不同时段车流会对梁端顺桥向位移和塔根弯矩产生影响。
