A conceptual and methdological framework for the generation of activity-travel patterns

This paper develops a conceptual framework for the generation of activity and travel patterns in the context of more general structures and presents an integrated model system as a step toward development of an improved travel demand forecasting model system. We propose a two-stage structure to model activity and travel behavior. The first stage, the stop generation and stop/auto allocation models, consists of the choices for the number of household maintenance stops and the allocation of stops and autos to household members. The second stage, the tour formation model, includes the choices for the number of tours and the assignment of stops to tours for each individual, conditional on the choices in the first stage. Empirical results demonstrate that individual and household socio-demographics are important factors affecting the first stage choices, the generation of maintenance stops and the allocation of stops and autos among household members, and the second stage choices, the number of tours and the assignment of stops to tours. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

基于小波提升格式理论的隧道衬砌缺陷定量识别分析

为提高探地雷达信号分析中小波基函数选取或构造的针对性和适应性，降低构造计算复杂性，并使所构造的小波基能更准确提取隧道衬砌结构背后空洞检测信号特征点信息，提出一种根据提升格式小波理论和目标信号波形特征来构造匹配小波的方法，并将所构造的小波基应用于空洞检测信号特征点的识别中。该方法以完全重构滤波器条件和提升格式小波为理论基础，首先选择一个简单而一般的初始双正交滤波器组，通过对初始双正交滤波器进行提升和对偶提升，获得不同的提升算子和对偶提升算子，从而得到更新后含自由变量的高阶滤波器组函数表达；其次，依据探地雷达信号的固有特点，对新滤波器组中重构端小波函数中的自由参数进行优化，并对新小波基与实际探地雷达信号的相似度进行计算和检验，最终构造出既满足线性相位、紧支撑性，又具有与探地雷达信号匹配度高等优势的新双正交小波基。将新小波基应用于室内空腔检测试验及实际工程中空洞缺陷的定量分析中，结果表明，同其他类型小波相比，用提升方法构造的小波能更准确地识别空洞缺陷信号突变点发生的时刻和位置，能更准确地实现隧道工程中空洞缺陷的位置和垂直尺寸的定量分析，从而大大提高探地雷达对缺陷探测的可靠度和准确度。     

沿视平面任意方向上运动模糊图像的几何变换

运动所产生的图像模糊在生活中是常见的,对其进行处理的方法有很多种.常见的一种方法是将这个过程用矩阵的方程表示出来,但是这种方法只适合于求解水平方向上的直线运动模型.对非水平方向上的运动来说,就要对运动图像进行预处理,将其转换到水平方向上,介绍如何对运动方向进行识别及利用几何变换对图像进行处理的过程.     

A substitute model of two-dimensional dry friction exposed to dither generated by rolling contact of wheel and rail

Dither generated by rolling contact of wheel and rail smoothes dry friction damping provided by the primary suspension dampers of freight wagons and it should be taken into account in numerical simulations. But numerically the problem is non-smooth and this leads to long execution time during simulation, especially when the vehicle with friction dampers is modelled in the environment of an multi-body system simulation program, whose solver has to cope with many strong non-linearities. The other difficulty is the necessity of handling within the code a number of big volume files of recorded dither sampled with high frequency. To avoid these difficulties, a substitute model of two-dimensional dry friction exposed to dither is proposed that does not need application of dither during simulation, but it behaves as if dither were applied. Due to this property of the model, the excitation of the vehicle model by track irregularities may be supplied as low-frequency input, which allows fast execution and, the necessity of handling high-volume files of recorded dither is avoided. The substitute model is numerically effective. To identify parameters of the substitute model, a pre-processing employing a sample of the realistic dither is carried-out on a simple two-degrees-of-freedom system. The substitute model is anisotropic, describing anisotropic properties of the two-dimensional friction arising in the presence of one-dimensional dither. The model may be applied in other branches of engineering, for example, in mechatronics and robotics, where application of dither may improve the accuracy of positioning devices.

A new estimation approach for the multiple discrete–continuous probit (MDCP) choice model

This paper develops a blueprint (complete with matrix notation) to apply Bhat’s (2011) Maximum Approximate Composite Marginal Likelihood (MACML) inference approach for the estimation of cross-sectional as well as panel multiple discrete–continuous probit (MDCP) models. A simulation exercise is undertaken to evaluate the ability of the proposed approach to recover parameters from a cross-sectional MDCP model. The results show that the MACML approach does very well in recovering parameters, as well as appears to accurately capture the curvature of the Hessian of the log-likelihood function. The paper also demonstrates the application of the proposed approach through a study of individuals’ recreational (i.e., long distance leisure) choice among alternative destination locations and the number of trips to each recreational destination location, using data drawn from the 2004 to 2005 Michigan statewide household travel survey.
