文明的冲突与融合

亨廷顿在<文明的冲突>里提出了新时期文明的冲突将成为未来世界冲突的主题.这一断言遭致各国学者的反对.反对者有两种论调:或者认为文明没有冲突只有融合,或者认为文明只有冲突且不可融合.这里从这两种论调出发阐释不同的看法,即文明不仅是冲突的,亦是可融合的.     

交通冲突技术在ETC安全评价中的应用研究

由于数据缺乏,国内外有关ETC对交通安全影响的评价研究开展甚少。ETC系统对交通安全究竟会产生怎样的影响,如何进行分析评价,是一个全新的课题。作者参考了其它交通设施的安全评价方法并结合我国交通安全管理的实际情况,得出了仅运用事故统计数据模型来评价ETC对收费区安全水平的影响是欠可靠的这一结论,确定采用以非事故间接评价方法暨交通冲突技术对ETC安全进行评价。本文旨在确立ETC系统的安全评价方法并搭建其评价框架,着重探讨了如何在收费区引入交通冲突技术。     

城市混合交通控制设计理念与方法

针对我国城市特有的混合交通特性,在分析城市路网特征和交通流运行特征的基础上,确立了混合交通控制系统设计的基本理念。基于混合交通流理论,建立了城市交通控制的方法体系,包括匝道控制、单点控制、干线协调控制、区域协调控制以及公交优先控制。运用此设计理念与方法开发出的混合交通控制系统（HiCON）,在北京、青岛、福州三地的应用表明：车辆平均延误减少10％～20％,平均行程时间降低5%-10％。     

城市公交站交通冲突分析及对策

公交站是城市公交系统的重要组成部分,客流通过在公交站点上下车的方式实现了公交系统的日常运营.但在公交站往往因其在有限空间内集聚大量人流与车流产生交通冲突,对城市交通的顺畅及通达产生消极影响.本文分析了城市公交站主要交通冲突影响因素及其冲突成因,并针对一般停靠和港湾式停靠方式产生的交通冲途性提出了解决问题的对策与方法.

信号控制交叉口左转非机动车过街模式适用性

为分析信号控制交叉口两种左转非机动车过街模式（机动车和非机动车一体化模式以及行人和非机动车一体化模式）的适用条件,在动态交通条件下,定量分析两种模式对典型两相位和四相位信号控制交叉口通行效率和安全性的单独与综合影响。在通行效率方面,选取机动车通行能力作为评价指标;在安全性方面,引入一个可比选交通设计方案的指标——交通当量冲突。通过理论与实例分析,从通行效率和安全性两方面给出了两种模式的适用性。结果表明：两种模式在上述方面均有单独优势;两相位信号控制交叉口,在相应的左转非机动车和机动车交通量条件下两种模式均能同时提高交叉口通行效率和安全性;四相位信号控制交叉口,两种模式均不能同时起到积极作用。     

A measurement to driving situation awareness in signalized intersections

Drivers get involved easily in Left-Turn Across Path with Opposite Direction Traffic (LTAP-OD) conflicts at signalized intersection with unprotected left-turn phasing. This study classified the left-turn drivers’ performance into four types: (1) the correct acceptance of safe lags/gaps, (2) the correct rejection of dangerous lags/gaps, (3) the false rejection of safe lags/gaps and (4) the false acceptance of dangerous lags/gaps. Based on the high mounted video camera data, the logistic regression model was used to obtain the critical gaps for estimating whether the lags/gaps were safe or not. The results show that the cognition behavior of the left-turn drivers should be improved while the gap/lag is drawn near the critical gap. Furthermore, the conservative drivers are more likely to reject the larger lags/gaps and yield the right-of-way to the opposing vehicles. Simultaneously the poor response execution may cause drivers to have difficulties during the turning performance when the lags/gaps are large enough. These results could be used as the basis for a discussion of the right time to support the drivers.     

Modeling traffic operation at signalized intersections without explicit left‐turn yielding rules with an enhanced cell transmission model

This paper presents an enhanced cell transmission model (CTM) to capture traffic operation at signalized intersections without explicit permissive left‐turn yielding rules (i.e. aggressive permissive left‐turn maneuvers may not necessarily yield to opposing through traffic), which can be widely observed in many developing countries. Different from previous studies that focus on traffic dynamics on approaching links, this study contributes to modeling traffic operations within the intersection. A novel cell transmission framework with various types of virtual cells is proposed to model the dynamics of traffic movements from approach to exit. The unique phenomenon of competitive occupying of the conflict point between the left turn and opposing through movements is modeled. The cell state indicating its blockage is proposed to capture the dynamic queue formulation and dissipation and to evaluate the operational traffic performance at the intersection. Field validation results show that the proposed model can capture the operation of traffic at signalized intersections without explicit permissive left‐turn yielding rules with significantly higher level of accuracy than traditional traffic flow models.

Large-scale evacuation network optimization: a bi-level control method with uncertain arterial demand

To improve the efficiency of large-scale evacuations, a network aggregation method and a bi-level optimization control method are proposed in this paper. The network aggregation method indicates the uncertain evacuation demand on the arterial sub-network and balances accuracy and efficiency by refining local road sub-networks. The bi-level optimization control method is developed to reconfigure the aggregated network from both supply and demand sides with contraflow and conflict elimination. The main purpose of this control method is to make the arterial sub-network to be served without congestion and interruption. Then, a corresponding bi-objective network flow model is presented in a static manner for an oversaturated network, and a Genetic Algorithm-based solution method is used to solve the evacuation problem. The numerical results from optimizing a city-scale evacuation network for a super typhoon justify the validity and usefulness of the network aggregation and optimization control methods.
