Aggregate expenditure elasticity for transport and communication in Australia

For the purpose of estimating Engel elasticity, one needs to find the best functional form among various alternatives. In this paper, a new function, which is called the double semi-log Engel function turns out to be the best functional form for the transport and communication items in Australia on the basis of the distance function (D²) criterion, and the non-nested hypothesis testing procedure. This function is then used to estimate total expenditure elasticity, and the percentage change in consumer demand due to changes in total expenditure and total expenditure inequalities; using the 1975–76 Household Expenditure Survey data. The results of the analyses demonstrate that transport and communication is a necessary item in Australia on the basis of two criteria, viz., its elasticity is not significantly greater than unity, and the percentage change in demand increases with a decrease of the total expenditure inequality [emphasised by Iyengar (I960)]. Policy implication of the analyses has also been discussed.     

改进的BP神经网络在铁路客运量时间序列预测中的应用

针对目前铁路客运量预测方法的不足,采用改进的BP神经网络对铁路客运量时间序列进行预测。分析改进的BP神经网络原理,对1980年—1998年的铁路客运量进行归一化处理,建立铁路客运量时间序列神经网络预测模型,设计网络参数,进行网络学习与训练的仿真试验。对比分析改进的BP神经网络与标准的BP神经网络预测结果,证明改进的BP神经网络预测结果更准确,精度更高。     

Estimation of value of travel time reliability

In mode choice decision, travelers consider not only travel time but also reliability of its modes. In this paper, reliability was expressed in terms of standard deviation and maximum delay that were measured based on triangular distribution. In order to estimate value of time and value of reliability, the Multinomial and Nested Logit models were used. The analysis results revealed that reliability is an important factor affecting mode choice decisions. Elasticity is used to estimate the impacts of the different policies and system improvements for water transportation mode. Among these policies, decision maker can assess and select the best alternative by doing the benefit and cost analysis based on a new market share, the value of time, and the value of reliability. Finally, a set of promising policies and system improvement of the water transportation were proposed.     

Ramp meters on trial: Evidence from the Twin Cities metering holiday

Ramp meters in the Twin Cities have been the subject of a recent test of their effectiveness, involving turning them off for eight weeks. This paper analyzes the results with and without ramp metering for several representative freeways during the afternoon peak period. Seven performance measures: mobility, equity, productivity, consumers’ surplus, accessibility, travel time variation and travel demand responses are compared. It is found that ramp meters are particularly helpful for long trips relative to short trips. Ramp metering, while generally beneficial to freeway segments, may not improve trip travel times (including ramp delays). The reduction in travel time variation comprises another benefit from ramp meters. Non-work trips and work trips respond differently to ramp meters. The results are mixed, suggesting a more refined ramp control algorithm, which explicitly considers ramp delay, is in order.

需求不均衡的制梁台座规模优化算法改进研究

根据箱梁预制工艺的要求,模具的周转周期T2通常为3～5 d,而文献[1]中制梁台座规模优化算法仅适合于模具的周转周期T2=1 d的情况。针对文献[1]的局限性,试图通过作图、试算和归纳等一系列工作,找出适用于T2=[1,T1]时计算最优制梁台座数和模具数的通用算法,进一步扩大了算法的适用性。同时,结合文献[1]的工程实例,利用Matlab语言编程验证了改进算法的可行性。

基于人-车交互的行人轨迹预测

针对行人轨迹预测具有复杂、拥挤的场景和社会交互问题,基于长短时记忆网络（Long Short-term Memory Network, LSTM）对行人与车辆、行人与其他行人的交互进行建模,提出一种基于人-车交互的行人轨迹预测模型（VP-LSTM）。该模型同时考虑了行人与行人的交互、行人与车辆的交互,更适用于复杂的交通场景。所构建的VP-LSTM包括3个输入,以行人的方向和速度作为历史轨迹序列输入,行人与行人的相对位置作为人-人交互信息输入,行人与车辆的相对位置作为人-车交互信息输入。该方法首先设计扇形人-人交互邻域和圆形人-车交互邻域来准确捕捉对被预测行人有相互作用的行人和车辆;其次建立3种不同的LSTM编码层来编码历史行人轨迹序列、人-人、人-车社交信息;然后定义人-人、人-车交互的防碰撞函数和方向注意力函数作为人-车、人-人社交信息的权重,进一步提高社会信息的精度;再将人-人、人-车交互信息输入到注意力模块中筛选出对行人影响大的社会信息;最后将筛选后的社会信息与行人历史轨迹序列一起输入到LSTM神经网络中进行行人轨迹预测,并在构建的DUT人-车交互数据集上验证提出的网络。研究结果表明：提出的方法能够准确地预测出交通场景中,人-车交互行人未来一段时间内的运动轨迹,有效提高了预测精度,提高了智能驾驶决策的准确性。
