通过对现行主要格型钢板桩抗倾覆稳定性分析方法进行分析研究的基础上,提出了一种新的分析计算方法,即“修正分离法”.假设格内填料的自重不直接参与抗倾,而是通过它对格壁产生侧向土压力和摩擦力来体现其参与抗倾工作的机制和程度,从而对传统的TVA分离法进行修正,给出了更为优化的计算方法.并通过实例计算,与现行5种方法的计算结果进行比较,验证了该计算方法的合理性和实用性.

基于元胞自动机的高速公路瓶颈交通演化仿真

为分析高速公路中道路瓶颈造成的堵塞现象,本文改进KKW (Kerner-Klenov-Wolf) 模型, 建立跟驰规则;综合考虑车间距和车速对车辆换道的影响,建立自由换道和强制性换道规则;并对高速公路中不同车流量条件下,道路瓶颈上游的堵塞区域分布、换道行为特征和车道上交通参数的变化情况进行仿真研究。结果表明：在给定的交通量条件下,汇流车道的拥堵区域长度处于动态平衡状态,不会随时间而变化,且道路瓶颈前的汇流行为会导致目标车道上严重的速度下降,汇流车道和目标车道上车辆速度变化趋同;从换道集群特征来看,道路瓶颈前因高交通流量形成的低速汇流车辆倾向于以小集团的方式统一进行换道,造成目标车道上剧烈的交通震荡;瓶颈消失后,交通恢复时间随进口交通流量的上升而线性增长。

Asynchronous n-step Q-learning adaptive traffic signal control

Ensuring transportation systems are efficient is a priority for modern society. Intersection traffic signal control can be modeled as a sequential decision-making problem. To learn how to make the best decisions, we apply reinforcement learning techniques with function approximation to train an adaptive traffic signal controller. We use the asynchronous n-step Q-learning algorithm with a two hidden layer artificial neural network as our reinforcement learning agent. A dynamic, stochastic rush hour simulation is developed to test the agent’s performance. Compared against traditional loop detector actuated and linear Q-learning traffic signal control methods, our reinforcement learning model develops a superior control policy, reducing mean total delay by up 40% without compromising throughput. However, we find our proposed model slightly increases delay for left turning vehicles compared to the actuated controller, as a consequence of the reward function, highlighting the need for an appropriate reward function which truly develops the desired policy.     

Social networks and joint/solo activity–travel behavior

The social dimension of activity–travel behavior has recently received much research attention. This paper aims to make a contribution to this growing literature by investigating individuals’ engagements in joint activities and activity companion choices. Using activity–travel diary data collected in Hong Kong in 2010, this study examines the impact of social network attributes on the decisions between solo and joint activities, and for joint activities, the choices of companions. Chi-square difference tests are used to assess the importance of social network variables in explaining joint activity behavior. We find that the inclusion of social network attributes significantly improves the goodness-of-fit of the model with only socioeconomic variables. Specifically, individuals receiving emotional support and social companionship from family members/relatives are found to more likely undertake joint activities with their family members/relatives; the size of personal social networks is found to be a significant determinant of companion choices for joint activities; and activity companions are found to be significant determinants of travel companions. The findings of this study improve the understanding about activity–travel, especially joint activity–travel decisions.     

Short-term speed predictions exploiting big data on large urban road networks

Big data from floating cars supply a frequent, ubiquitous sampling of traffic conditions on the road network and provide great opportunities for enhanced short-term traffic predictions based on real-time information on the whole network. Two network-based machine learning models, a Bayesian network and a neural network, are formulated with a double star framework that reflects time and space correlation among traffic variables and because of its modular structure is suitable for an automatic implementation on large road networks. Among different mono-dimensional time-series models, a seasonal autoregressive moving average model (SARMA) is selected for comparison. The time-series model is also used in a hybrid modeling framework to provide the Bayesian network with an a priori estimation of the predicted speed, which is then corrected exploiting the information collected on other links. A large floating car data set on a sub-area of the road network of Rome is used for validation. To account for the variable accuracy of the speed estimated from floating car data, a new error indicator is introduced that relates accuracy of prediction to accuracy of measure. Validation results highlighted that the spatial architecture of the Bayesian network is advantageous in standard conditions, where a priori knowledge is more significant, while mono-dimensional time series revealed to be more valuable in the few cases of non-recurrent congestion conditions observed in the data set. The results obtained suggested introducing a supervisor framework that selects the most suitable prediction depending on the detected traffic regimes.
