Meta-analysis of public transport demand

The present study uses meta-regression in order to explain the wide variation in elasticity estimates obtained in previous demand studies, and provide summaries of several bus demand elasticities.One important finding as to the price elasticity is that the often cited rule of thumb of −0.3 holds good if quality of service represented by vehicle-kilometres is treated as an exogenous variable, but not when it is treated as endogenous.Based on the results it is recommended that demand models should include car ownership, price of petrol, own price, income and some measure of service among the explanatory variables and that the service variable should be treated as endogenous.In previous meta-studies in this field focus has been on own price elasticity only while this study also includes elasticities with respect to, level of service, income, price of petrol and car ownership. The short run for the US are found to be −0.59, 1.05, −0.62, 0.4 and −1.48 respectively.

Simulation studies of information propagation in a self-organizing distributed traffic information system

This paper investigates the feasibility of a self-organizing, completely distributed traffic information system based upon vehicle-to-vehicle communication technologies. Unlike centralized traffic information systems, the proposed system does not need public infrastructure investment as a prerequisite for implementation. Due to the complexity of the proposed system, simulation is selected as the primary approach in the feasibility studies. A simulation framework is built based on an existing microscopic traffic simulation model for the simulation studies. The critical questions for building the proposed market-driven system are examined both from communication requirements and traffic engineering points of view. Traffic information propagation both in freeway and arterial networks via information exchange among IVC-equipped vehicles is tested within the simulation framework. Results on the probability of successful IVC and traffic information propagation distance obtained from the simulation studies are generated and analyzed under incident-free and incident conditions for various roadway formats and parameter combinations. Comparisons between the speed of the incident information wave and the speed of the corresponding traffic shock wave due to the incident are analyzed for different scenarios as the most crucial aspect of the information propagation as a potential foundation for application in such a decentralized traffic information system.     

交通环境对交通安全的影响及对策

交通安全涉及人、车、道路及环境等诸多因素,对交通事故的成因分析表明,驾驶员的责任是主要影响因素,其次是车辆和道路因素。但不容忽视的是,目前关于交通环境对事故影响的研究尚不够充分;交通管理部门确定事故原因也主要从人、车2 因素入手,较少涉及交通环境因素。事实上,作为事故的间接原因,交通环境常常通过间接作用影响安全,亦即不良的交通环境诱发人的不安全行为,从而导致人员违章等交通事故的发生。

人工神经网络在故障诊断系统中的应用

人工神经网络以其独到的联想、记忆、储存和学习功能，在故障诊断领域受到了广泛关注。其中，BP网络是最成熟、应用最广泛的一种网络。但BP网络在实际应用中也存在诸多不足，如学习率的取值需要凭借经验或试算选取，网络学习收敛速度慢以及易陷入局部最小点等。针对BP网络的这些不足，采用了Rumelhan附加惯性冲量和动态调整学习率相结合的改进的BP网络方法，并尝试用该改进算法来对凝汽器进行故障诊断。事实证明，在平均情况下，本系统收敛速度远远快于基本的BP算法。

基于TD3算法的人机混驾交通环境自动驾驶汽车换道研究

提高人类驾驶人的接受度是自动驾驶汽车未来的重要方向,而深度强化学习是其发展的一项关键技术。为了解决人机混驾混合交通流下的换道决策问题,利用深度强化学习算法TD3（Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient）实现自动驾驶汽车的自主换道行为。首先介绍基于马尔科夫决策过程的强化学习的理论框架,其次基于来自真实工况的NGSIM数据集中的驾驶数据,通过自动驾驶模拟器NGSIM-ENV搭建单向6车道、交通拥挤程度适中的仿真场景,非自动驾驶车辆按照数据集中驾驶人行车数据行驶。针对连续动作空间下的自动驾驶换道决策,采用改进的深度强化学习算法TD3构建换道模型控制自动驾驶汽车的换道驾驶行为。在所提出的TD3换道模型中,构建决策所需周围环境及自车信息的状态空间、包含受控汽车加速度和航向角的动作空间,同时综合考虑安全性、行车效率和舒适性等因素设计强化学习的奖励函数。最终在NGSIM-ENV仿真平台上,将基于TD3算法控制的自动驾驶汽车换道行为与人类驾驶人行车数据进行比较。研究结果表明：基于TD3算法控制的车辆其平均行驶速度比人类驾驶人的平均行车速度高4.8%,在安全性以及舒适性上也有一定的提升;试验结果验证了训练完成后TD3换道模型的有效性,其能够在复杂交通环境下自主实现安全、舒适、流畅的换道行为。
