Driver steering and muscle activity during a lane-change manoeuvre

The article reports an experimental study of driver steering control behaviour in a lane-change manoeuvre. Eight test subjects were instrumented with electromyography to measure muscle activation and co-contraction. Each subject completed 30 lane-change manoeuvres with one vehicle on a fixed-base driving simulator. For each driver, the steering torque feedback characteristic was changed after every ten manoeuvres; the response of the vehicle to steering angle inputs was not changed. Drivers' control strategies were found to be robust to changes in steering torque feedback. Path-following errors, muscle activity and muscle co-contraction all reduce with the number of lane-changes performed by the driver, suggesting the existence of a learning process. Comparing the test subjects, there was some evidence that high levels of co-contraction were used to allow high-frequency steering inputs to be generated. The results contribute to the understanding of vehicle-driver (and more generally, human-machine) dynamic interaction.

基于启发式Q(λ)学习的铁路绝缘子定位研究

智能化冲洗是解决电气化铁路绝缘子人工冲洗弊端的有效途径,而智能化冲洗的关键在于绝缘子识别、定位。通过对现有智能冲洗设备的分析,提出一种铁路绝缘子定位、跟踪方法,该方法基于传感器信息,采用启发式Q(λ)学习算法,可快速、准确找到绝缘子。首先建立铁路绝缘子水冲洗环境模型,接着为解决传统Q(λ)学习算法盲目学习导致收敛速度慢的问题,通过搜索支柱特征调整奖赏函数,设计启发式策略函数并融入Q(λ)学习中,提高算法的学习和收敛速度。最后分别对传统Q(λ)学习算法和启发式Q(λ)学习算法进行Matlab仿真实验,确定最佳参数设置,仿真结果表明启发式Q(λ)算法的正确性和可行性。     

崩塌滑坡堵江堰塞湖灾害链铁路减灾选线策略

青藏高原南缘是崩塌滑坡堵江形成堰塞湖灾害链的高风险区,而我国铁路缺乏应对堰塞湖灾害的经验。铁路灾后改建工程线路优化设计将产生直接减灾效益,而新建铁路在选线阶段就采取一些主动减灾策略,也是风险调控的重要手段。为此,以中巴经济走廊中拟建哈维连至喀什铁路Attabad堰塞湖段为研究对象,根据堰塞湖灾害特点,通过将改建工程分段设计,并对不同改建线路方案进行技术经济指标比较,完成该段改建线路设计。基于上述工作,提出以有利地形控制溢流口开挖深度、宜尽量利用既有工程、在离开湖区后集中展线尽快与既有线联接、有条件时可提高限制坡度等灾后绕湖铁路选线设计要点与高位选线、酌情预留提高限坡措施的条件、尽量不跨河等新建铁路减灾选线设计策略,希望为铁路应对崩塌滑坡堵江堰塞湖灾害链提供参考。     

Implementation and application of a stochastic aircraft boarding model

The aircraft turnaround processes is mainly controlled by the ground handling, airport or airline staff, except the aircraft boarding, which is driven by the passengers’ experience and willingness or ability to follow the proposed boarding procedures. The paper uses a prior developed, calibrated, stochastic aircraft boarding model, which is applied to different boarding strategies (chronological order of passenger arrival, hand luggage handling), group constellations and innovative infrastructural changes (Flying Carpet, Side-Slip Seat, Foldable Passenger Seat). In this context, passenger boarding is assumed to be a stochastic, agent-based, forward-directed, one-dimensional and discrete process. The stochastic model covers individual passenger behavior as well as operational constraints and deviations. A comprehensive assessment using one model allows for efficient comparison of current research approaches and innovative operational solutions for efficient passenger boarding.     

共享自动驾驶汽车经营策略优化分析

研究共享自动驾驶汽车(SAV)与普通汽车共存背景下，SAV公司如何根据运营目标优化经营策略并影响通勤者出行方式选择. 假设高速公路上存在一定数量的独驾通勤者，无车通勤者在SAV和地铁之间进行权衡. 分析固定需求和弹性需求下，SAV公司追求系统总成本最小或系统净收益最大和利润最大时的最优经营策略，即SAV票价和容量，进而得到均衡时模式划分情况，SAV最优发车数，系统总成本或系统净收益，以及公司利润等指标. 算例对均衡结果进一步验证发现，SAV公司垄断经营会收取较高的票价，提供容量较小的车型. 在系统最优情形下，SAV公司无法获得正利润，需要政府补贴运营.     

Generating lane-based intersection maps from crowdsourcing big trace data

Lane-based road information plays a critical role in transportation systems, a lane-based intersection map is the most important component in a detailed road map of the transportation infrastructure. Researchers have developed various algorithms to detect the spatial layout of intersections based on sensor data such as high-definition images/videos, laser point cloud data, and GPS traces, which can recognize intersections and road segments; however, most approaches do not automatically generate Lane-based Intersection Maps (LIMs). The objective of our study is to generate LIMs automatically from crowdsourced big trace data using a multi-hierarchy feature extraction strategy. The LIM automatic generation method proposed in this paper consists of the initial recognition of road intersections, intersection layout detection, and lane-based intersection map-generation. The initial recognition process identifies intersection and non-intersection areas using spatial clustering algorithms based on the similarity of angle and distance. The intersection layout is composed of exit and entry points, obtained by combining trajectory integration algorithms and turn rules at road intersections. The LIM generation step is finally derived from the intersection layout detection results and lane-based road information, based on geometric matching algorithms. The effectiveness of our proposed LIM generation method is demonstrated using crowdsourced vehicle traces. Additional comparisons and analysis are also conducted to confirm recognition results. Experiments show that the proposed method saves time and facilitates LIM refinement from crowdsourced traces more efficiently than methods based on other types of sensor data.
