Commuter ride-sharing using topology-based vehicle trajectory clustering: Methodology,application and impact evaluation

This paper illustrates a ride matching method for commuting trips based on clustering trajectories, and a modeling and simulation framework with ride-sharing behaviors to illustrate its potential impact. It proposes data mining solutions to reduce traffic demand and encourage more environment-friendly behaviors. The main contribution is a new data-driven ride-matching method, which tracks personal preferences of road choices and travel patterns to identify potential ride-sharing routes for carpool commuters. Compared with prevalent carpooling algorithms, which allow users to enter departure and destination information for on-demand trips, the proposed method focuses more on regular commuting trips. The potential effectiveness of the approach is evaluated using a traffic simulation-assignment framework with ride-sharing participation using the routes suggested by our algorithm. Two types of ride-sharing participation scenarios, with and without carpooling information, are considered. A case study with the Chicago tested is conducted to demonstrate the proposed framework’s ability to support better decision-making for carpool commuters. The results indicate that with ride-matching recommendations using shared vehicle trajectory data, carpool programs for commuters contribute to a less congested traffic state and environment-friendly travel patterns.     

A planning tool for evaluating vehicles miles travelled and traffic safety forecasts of growth management scenarios: A case study of Baton Rouge and New Orleans

This study describes an adaptable planning tool that examines potential change in vehicle miles travelled (VMT) growth and corresponding traffic safety outcomes in two urbanized areas, Baton Rouge and New Orleans, based on built environment, economic and demographic variables. This model is employed to demonstrate one aspect of the potential benefits of growth management policy implementation aimed at curbing VMT growth, and to establish targets with which to measure the effectiveness of those policies through a forecasting approach. The primary objective of this research is to demonstrate the need to break with current trends in order to achieve future goals, and to identify specific policy targets for fuel prices, population density, and transit service within the two study regions. Models indicate based on medium growth scenarios, Baton Rouge will experience a 9 percent increase in VMTs and New Orleans will experience 10 percent growth. This translates to corresponding increases in crashes, injuries and fatalities. The paper provides forecasts for planners and engineers to consider an alternative future, based on desired goals to reduce VMTs and therefore improve safety outcomes. A constrained-forecast model shows a cap on VMTs and crash rates is achievable through policy that increases fuel prices, population density and annual transit passenger miles per capita at reasonable levels through a growth management approach.

Obsolete Maps and Coastal Management: Case Studies from Northwest Ireland

On dynamic coastal sites, subject to rapid and sometimes unpredictable shoreline changes, management problems can be aggravated if legally authoritative maps are obsolete. These difficulties are illustrated by two case studies from County Donegal in northwest Ireland. The first case study outlines the problems that arise where statutory functional area boundaries are based on a near century-old map. The second case study deals with the problems of planning development on a site where a customized map only a few years old has been rendered obsolete by rapid coastal erosion. Other problems are caused by the inappropriate use of maps. Suggestions are made to mitigate the effects of outdated maps.     

基于BIM的公路隧道运维管理系统设计与开发

近年来,我国公路隧道建设里程快速增长,但在隧道运维管理中存在技术落后、管理人员配置不足等问题。针对管理中存在的问题,本文提出将BIM(building information modeling,建筑信息模型)引入公路隧道的运维管理,通过制定具体实施规划及设计系统架构,实现可视化的公路隧道运维管理。以浙江省41省道岭下隧道工程为依托,建立基于BIM的公路隧道运维管理平台,为公路隧道运维管理提供一种直观、便捷的管理方式,提高公路隧道的信息化管理水平。

昆明市“月月无车日活动”及公众调查分析

调查了解公众对无车日活动常态化这一公共政策的反应,能够为城市交通政策的制定提供一定的技术参考。介绍了昆明市城市交通概况及首个无车日活动成效,同时,对“月月无车日活动”做了概述,在总结前几次活动经验的基础上,给出了活动的进一步调整方案。通过对无车日活动公众调查问卷的数据分析,得出大多数公众对“月月无车日活动”的态度是理解和支持的;在无车日当天,私人小汽车拥有者选择公共交通作为替代小汽车出行方式的比例最高。另外,大力发展公共交通也被受访者认为是解决城市交通拥堵应当首选的措施。
