Study on Performances of Car-following Models Induced by Motions of a Leading Car

IntroductionReasonably accurate mathematical modeling oftraffic engineering is needed not only for better un-derstanding of the collective behavior of traffic,but also for analyzing flow conditions, designingefficient control strategies, and etc[1]. For the pastfew decades, many researchers made studies of thissubject and a wide range of traffic flow theoriesand models have been developed. According to thelevel-of-detail with which the traffic flow is de-scribed, these traffic models were clas…     

Wind Vibration Study of Long-span Steel Arch Structure of Beijing Capital International Airport

IntroductionThe long-span light-weight steel arch struc-tures have been widely used in the world due to itsbeautiful shape and reasonable mechanical charac-teristics. With the development of the computa-tional theory, the steel arch span becomes longerand longer. So, the wind loads become the majoror even dominant loads applied on steel arch struc-tural system[1~3]. The distress and damage willprobably occur in the structure, because of thelong term wind-induced vibration.1 Structural Wind-in…     

Can agents measure up? A comparative study of an agent-based and on-line optimization approach for a drayage problem with uncertainty

Experiments studying the behavior of agent-based methods over varying levels of uncertainty in comparison to traditional optimization methods are generally absent from the literature. In this paper we apply two structurally distinct solution approaches, an on-line optimization and an agent-based approach, to a drayage problem with time windows under two types of uncertainty. Both solution approaches are able to respond to dynamic events. The on-line optimization approach utilizes a mixed integer program to obtain a feasible route at 30-s intervals. The second solution approach deploys agents that engage in auctions to satisfy their own objectives based on the information they perceive and maintain locally. Our results reveal that the agent-based system can outperform the on-line optimization when service time duration is highly uncertain. The on-line optimization approach, on the other hand, performs competitively with the agent-based system under conditions of job-arrival uncertainty. When both moderate service time and job-arrival uncertainties are combined, the agent system outperforms the on-line optimization; however, in the case of extremely high combined uncertainty, the on-line optimization outperforms the agent-based approach.

Effect of wind speed variation on the dynamics of a high-speed train

The severe shaking due to wind speed variation in high-speed trains has a negative impact on driving safety and riding comfort. It is difficult to solve this problem by directly applying civil engineering technology because of the actual conditions. Therefore, set up a reasonable train operation plan considering the wind speed variation under strong winds is very important. In this study, a multi-body simulation model of a CRH2 high-speed rail vehicle is constructed, and the overturning coefficient is set as the safety limit, we established a crosswind model on the basis of measured wind speed curves and investigated the effect of the rate of wind speed changes, the duration of maximum wind speed and the variation of wind speed in different amplitude on the dynamics of the high-speed train. Considering the most critical wind speed variation conditions, the characteristic wind curve is obtained, which can be used as a reference to set up a reasonable train operation scheme considering the wind speed variation.
