Decouple transport CO2 emissions from China’s economic expansion: A temporal-spatial analysis

China’s transport industry is energy intensive and high-polluting. While with the surging urbanization and the development of service industry, China’s economic relies more and more on the transport sector. Therefore, exploring the relationship between transport energy-related carbon emission (TECE) and economic development is crucial to the realization of China’s “Post Paris” mitigation target. The paper carries out a decoupling research between TECE and Gross domestic product (GDP) at both national level and province level based on Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) decomposition analysis with the extended Kaya identity and Tapio decoupling model. The model quantifies eight factors’ effects on the relationship with focusing on external macro socio-economic related factors (i.e., spatial pattern, urbanization, per capita service industry output value, reciprocal of the service industry’s share of GDP, and demographic variable) successfully. The key conclusions are indicated as follows: (1) the national decoupling status was extensive coupling during 2004–2010 and then weak decoupling during 2010–2016. The progress can be attributed to the decline of energy intensity. (2) Per capita service output was always the prominent factor to promote carbon emissions growth in different time periods and provinces with inhibiting the advancement of decoupling process, followed by urbanization. (3) Scenario analysis shows that with the continuous growth of traffic demand and the promotion of urbanization, improving energy efficiency has become the key link to realize the decoupling between China’s TECE and its economy.

Using GPS-data to determine optimum electric vehicle ranges: A Michigan case study

Fuel-switching personal transportation from gasoline to electricity offers many advantages, including lower noise, zero local air pollution, and petroleum-independence. But alleviations of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are more nuanced, due to many factors, including the car’s battery range. We use GPS-based trip data to determine use type-specific, GHG-optimized ranges. The dataset comprises 412 cars and 384,869 individual trips in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. We use previously developed algorithms to determine driver types, such as using the car to commute or not. Calibrating an existing life cycle GHG model to a forecast, low-carbon grid for Ann Arbor, we find that the optimum range varies not only with the drive train architecture (plugin-hybrid versus battery-only) and charging technology (fast versus slow) but also with the driver type. Across the 108 scenarios we investigated, the range that yields lowest GHG varies from 65 km (55+ year old drivers, ultrafast charging, plugin-hybrid) to 158 km (16–34 year old drivers, overnight charging, battery-only). The optimum GHG reduction that electric cars offer – here conservatively measured versus gasoline-only hybrid cars – is fairly stable, between 29% (16–34 year old drivers, overnight charging, battery-only) and 46% (commuters, ultrafast charging, plugin-hybrid). The electrification of total distances is between 66% and 86%. However, if cars do not have the optimum range, these metrics drop substantially. We conclude that matching the range to drivers’ typical trip distances, charging technology, and drivetrain is a crucial pre-requisite for electric vehicles to achieve their highest potential to reduce GHG emissions in personal transportation.     

Towards connected autonomous driving: review of use-cases

Connected autonomous vehicles are considered as mitigators of issues such as traffic congestion, road safety, inefficient fuel consumption and pollutant emissions that current road transportation system suffers from. Connected autonomous vehicles utilise communication systems to enhance the performance of autonomous vehicles and consequently improve transportation by enabling cooperative functionalities, namely, cooperative sensing and cooperative manoeuvring. The former refers to the ability to share and fuse information gathered from vehicle sensors and road infrastructures to create a better understanding of the surrounding environment while the latter enables groups of vehicles to drive in a co-ordinated way which ultimately results in a safer and more efficient driving environment. However, there is a gap in understanding how and to what extent connectivity can contribute to improving the efficiency, safety and performance of autonomous vehicles. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate the potential benefits that can be achieved from connected autonomous vehicles through analysing five use-cases: (i) vehicle platooning, (ii) lane changing, (iii) intersection management, (iv) energy management and (v) road friction estimation. The current paper highlights that although connectivity can enhance the performance of autonomous vehicles and contribute to the improvement of current transportation system performance, the level of achievable benefits depends on factors such as the penetration rate of connected vehicles, traffic scenarios and the way of augmenting off-board information into vehicle control systems.     

Failure mode and effects analysis of dual levelling valve airspring suspensions on truck dynamics

Failure mode and effects analysis are performed for a dual levelling valve pneumatic suspension to determine the effect of suspension failure on tractor–semi-trailer dynamics, using a detailed model of suspension pneumatics coupled with a truck dynamic model. A key element of failure analysis in suspensions with one or two levelling valves is determining the effect on the vehicle body roll when one or more failures occur. The failure modes considered are mainly the suspension pneumatic components, including clogged levelling valve, bent control rod, disabled lever arm, and punctured or leaking connectors and pipes. The pneumatic suspension is modelled in AMESim, with critical parameters established through component testing. Upon validating the AMESim component model experimentally, the pneumatic suspension model is integrated into TruckSim for studying the consequences of suspension failure on truck dynamics. The simulation results indicate that the second levelling valve in a dual-valve arrangement brings a certain amount of failure redundancy to the system, in the sense that when one side fails, the other side can compensate for the failure. Equipping the trailer with dual levelling valves brings an additional stabilising effect to the vehicle in the event of tractor suspension failure.     

栏杆基石对闭口箱梁桥梁涡振性能影响的机理

为研究检修道栏杆基石对桥梁涡激振动性能的影响,依托中国某主跨808 m的超大跨度闭口箱梁加劲梁悬索桥,通过主梁大比例节段模型弹性悬挂测振测压风洞试验获取模型风致振动响应和表面各测点压力时程数据,测试原设计断面在±5°攻角范围内的涡振性能,对比分析3种不同栏杆基石位置和高度工况下主梁涡振响应性能和桥面测点脉动压力系数均值、均方差、压力功率谱以及局部气动力和总体气动力的相关性。研究结果表明：依托工程主梁设计断面发生了显著的竖向和扭转涡激共振,且扭转涡振显著超出规范允许值,主梁涡振性能随来流风攻角的增大而变差。主梁表面实测脉动压力数据分析显示,由于栏杆和基石的阻挡,箱梁上表面气流分离后在后部再附,导致上表面前部和中后部发生了强烈的压力脉动。上表面前部、后部以及下表面迎风区斜腹板局部气动力与总体气动力具有很强的相关性,这也是导致主梁发生显著扭转涡振的根本原因。将栏杆基石移至桥面板边沿显著减小了上、下表面压力脉动,上表面前部和后部气动力相关性被破坏,可以大幅抑制涡振;将栏杆基石移至桥面板边沿,并降低栏杆基石高度抑制了气流在上表面后部的再附现象,断面压力脉动被削弱,局部气动力和总体气动力相关性被完全破坏,从而有效抑制涡振。     

废食用油预脱硫胶粉改性沥青组分与黏弹性研究（双语出版）

为研究废食用油预脱硫胶粉（WRO）对沥青组分及黏弹性的影响,在不同掺量、加工温度和加工时间下分别制备了15组废食用油预脱硫胶粉改性沥青（WROMA）。基于四组分试验、DSR时间扫描试验、多应力蠕变回复试验分析了沥青组分及黏弹性变化的规律。结果表明：在组分方面,WRO中的橡胶烃主要补充沥青质,油分大部分补充饱和分,少部分补充芳香分;加工工艺与改性沥青中饱和分和胶质的含量线性相关性较弱,与芳香分及沥青质的含量线性相关性很强,且芳香分与沥青质含量主要受WRO掺量影响。在黏弹性方面,WRO掺量增加,改性沥青高温黏性降低,弹性增加。为保证改性沥青获得足够的高温弹性,WRO最佳掺量为30%,加工温度为160℃、加工时间为2 h。综合组分与黏弹性的分析结果可知：芳香分是影响WROMA高温黏性的主导因素,其含量越高沥青黏性越明显;沥青质和WRO中的橡胶烃是影响WROMA高温弹性的主导因素,两者含量越高,改性沥青弹性越明显。     

桥侧大面积堆土致斜交梁桥倒塌事故分析

以杭州绕城高速上发生垮塌的斜交桥梁为案例,通过现场调查取证,获取了案例桥施工图纸、地质情况和现场的破坏信息。在此基础上,采用摩尔-库仑模型模拟土体的弹塑性性质,用实体单元来模拟盖梁、承台、桥墩、桩基等桥梁结构,用不同区域的均布荷载来模拟堆载作用,并且设置接触单元来考虑桩-土相互作用,模拟桩-土之间的滑移和分离,建立三维有限元模型。同时研究了土体的物理参数（淤泥层和亚黏土层弹性模量）、堆载高度和斜交角对桥梁结构的影响。研究结果表明：大面积堆土导致近堆土侧桥墩、桩基发生比远堆土侧更大的位移,对于斜交桥,该位移方向与两侧桥墩连线即盖梁的方向成一定角度,从而导致近侧桥墩、桩基在轴力、弯矩和剪力外,需要承受较大的扭矩;随着斜交角从0°增加到40°,近侧桥墩、桩基承受的扭矩持续增大,扭矩逐步成为控制桩基破坏的主要因素;堆载引起淤泥层的沉降会导致该部分土层产生较大的负摩阻力,进一步改变了桩身轴力的分布;土体的弹性模量、堆土高度对桥梁在堆载作用下的横向位移和内力有很大影响;杭州绕城高速垮塌的主要原因是在软弱层上堆土导致桩基发生压、弯、剪、扭破坏。
