铁路缓和曲线代数式方程的通用设计方法

根据铁路缓和曲线的特点,介绍了利用缓和曲线边界条件确定其代数方程式的一种通用方法：首先给出缓和曲线要满足的边界条件,根据边界条件列出曲率待定方程;然后利用曲率边界条件确定出缓和曲线曲率方程;最后通过对曲率方程进行二次积分就可得到缓和曲线的方程。采用这种方法分别对各种类型的缓和曲线举出实例,详细说明了该方法的应用,证明了该方法正确、简单,是一种适用于推导缓和曲线方程的通用方法,可为铁路缓和曲线线型设计提供参考。     

基于混合A*和可变半径RS曲线的自动泊车路径优化方法

路径规划是自动泊车系统的重要组成部分,是确保泊车运动安全、缩短行车距离、提高乘坐舒适性的关键。而当前自动泊车规划系统往往面临行驶空间狭小、障碍物多、路径搜索难度大等技术挑战,同时搜索曲线半径固定容易导致路径接点处曲率不连续,增大了路径跟随控制难度和轮胎磨损程度,这些都提升了泊车路径规划的研究难度。针对以上问题,设计可变半径的Reeds-Shepp曲线,提出基于混合A^*和该曲线的自动泊车路径规划方法,通过调整曲线半径,提升其在复杂场景下路径的搜索能力和灵活性。随后,设计基于分段贝塞尔曲线和梯度下降的路径优化方法,利用其多阶导数连续的优势优化已搜索的路径曲率,并采用梯度下降来保证路径曲率大小和对障碍的规避,解决直线与圆弧相接等位置曲率变化不连续的难题。结合路径搜索与路径优化的泊车规划方法能够切实满足复杂场景下的泊车需要。最后,基于团队自主研发的PanoSim虚拟系统与MATLAB搭建联合仿真环境,针对多种自动泊车工况测试验证提出的方法。研究结果表明：调整Reeds-Shepp曲线的搜索半径进行全局路径搜索,可获得更短和更易跟随的路径,具有良好的灵活性;基于贝塞尔曲线和梯度下降法的路径优化可有效消除曲率突变点、约束路径曲率并保证对障碍的无碰撞要求。     

非饱和黏性地基土的土-水特征曲线试验及模拟

内地港口地基土在地下径流和降雨入渗作用下,多为非饱和土,其土-水特性影响港口地基稳定性。以安徽淮北港非饱和黏性地基土为研究对象,开展不同初始含水率、初始干密度、竖向应力以及干湿循环次数下的土-水特征曲线(SWCC)试验。研究发现:初始干密度和竖向应力对非饱和黏性地基土SWCC的影响相似,对进气值、初气值、脱湿速率、吸湿速率和残余饱和度影响较大;初始含水率对土体脱湿、吸湿速率影响较小,随着初始含水率的提升,进气值、吸气值、残余饱和度递增;随着干湿循环作用的增强,进气值和出气值的衰减逐渐削弱。结合地基土土-水特性,修正几种常用的SWCC模型,模拟不同工况下的SWCC,通过评分的方式得到适用于淮北港非饱和黏性地基土的推荐模型。研究成果可为不同工况下非饱和黏性地基土的土-水特性及港口地基稳定性研究提供参考。

基于孔隙结构的土体未冻水含量滞回效应研究

冻结特征曲线（SFCC）是描述负温与土体内部未冻水含量之间的关系曲线，是非饱和冻土研究的重要基础。冻融循环是冻土研究的关键因素。以粉土和黏土为试验对象，采用低场核磁共振（NMR）技术，测得了土体在冻融循环作用下的冻结特征曲线和孔隙结构分布图，研究土体在冻融循环作用下冻结特征曲线的变化。试验结果表明：随着循环次数的增加，土体孔隙分布发生了变化，进而导致冻结特征曲线滞回圈和特征温度点的变化，冻结特征曲线变化的本质是孔隙结构的变化；从微观结构出发得到了基于孔隙结构的SFCC表达式，指出融化过程的冻结特征曲线是主冻结特征曲线；结合试验数据的对比分析，模型有效展示了多次冻融循环下土体冻结特征曲线的滞回效应，适用于多次循环下的非饱和冻土。

How and why do men and women differ in their willingness to use automated cars? The influence of emotions across different age groups

Current research on willingness to use automated cars indicates differences between men and women, with the latter group showing lower usage intentions. This study aims at providing a first explanation of this effect. Research from other fields suggests that affective reactions might be able to explain behavioral intentions and responses towards technology, and that these affects vary depending on age levels. By examining a sample of 1603 participants representative for Germany (in terms of biological sex, age, and education) we found evidence that affective responses towards automotive cars (i.e., anxiety and pleasure) explain (i.e., mediate) the effect of biological sex on willingness to use them. Moreover, we found that these emotional processes vary as a function of respondent age in such a way that the differential effect of sex on anxiety (but not on pleasure) was more pronounced among relatively young respondents and decreased with participants’ age. Our results suggest that addressing anxiety-related responses towards automated cars (e.g., by providing safety-related information) and accentuating especially the pleasurable effects of automated cars (e.g., via advertising) reduce differences between men and women. Addressing the anxiety-related effects in order to reduce sex differences in usage intentions seems to be less relevant for older target groups, whereas promoting the pleasurable responses is equally important across age groups.     

Non‐compatible chemicals as cargoes in industry,on road,rail, and water

Toronto is to have an urban transit system with a passenger carrying capacity which fills the gap between the capacity of the subway and the capacity of the car and bus. Correspondingly, in the words of the Premier of Ontario, the system will “make possible an attractive alternative to high‐rise, high‐density living and urban sprawl. . . .” Furthermore, the new system is sufficiently economical to provide “. . . an encouragement to growth in appropriate areas, rather than merely responding to growth as it occurs . . .”

The decision to have such a system is the culmination of some years of major transportation activities in the Province, which included the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Transportation Study (MTARTS) of 1962. This study pursued both urban expressways and public transport solutions to the movement of people in Metropolitan Toronto.

The urban expressways programmes ran into difficulties, on environmental terms, when strong opposition from community groups was met on proposed routes. A climax came when the Ontario Government halted the construction of the controversial Spadina expressway in June 1971. However, the programmes of public transport solutions met with great success. The Toronto subway and its extensions, together with the change in land values along the route, has become a classic success story. So, too, has the introduction of the GO Train Service (Government of Ontario train service). This pioneered a combination of commuter rail service and integrated feeder buses and today replaces some 14,000 cars each day along the lakeshore highways.

The success of the subway and the GO train coupled with the difficulties experienced by the urban expressways programme, gave rise to the realisation that a better city through public transport rather than the car, was practicable. However, subways were too expensive and they needed a large patronage in a narrow corridor. Accordingly, an intermediate capacity transit system was sought.

The paper describes the programme of activities involved in the choice of the system and describes the technical specification which the system will enjoy. In particular, the demonstration installation which is to be set‐up in Toronto is described in detail, together with the plans to instal some 56 miles over five routes in Metropolitan Toronto.     

A model of the travel to work limits of parents

This paper considers the length of time that parents are willing to travel to an existing or new job. Using data for over 12,000 parents it finds that many characteristics were associated with being less likely to be willing to travel to work for at least an hour (roundtrip). These include: being a women, those out of work, having children under 5, being a lone parent and using formal childcare. Professionals and associate professions were more willing to travel for longer periods. In terms of location, those in accessible small towns and rural areas were willing to travel more than those in larger urban areas and those in remote rural areas willing to travel most. Policy implications are also set out.
