Experimental and empirical investigations of traffic flow instability

Traffic instability is an important but undesirable feature of traffic flow. This paper reports our experimental and empirical studies on traffic flow instability. We have carried out a large scale experiment to study the car-following behavior in a 51-car-platoon. The experiment has reproduced the phenomena and confirmed the findings in our previous 25-car-platoon experiment, i.e., standard deviation of vehicle speeds increases in a concave way along the platoon. Based on our experimental results, we argue that traffic speed rather than vehicle spacing (or density) might be a better indicator of traffic instability, because vehicles can have different spacing under the same speed. For these drivers, there exists a critical speed between 30 km/h and 40 km/h, above which the standard deviation of car velocity is almost saturated (flat) along the 51-car-platoon, indicating that the traffic flow is likely to be stable. In contrast, below this critical speed, traffic flow is unstable and can lead to the formation of traffic jams. Traffic data from the Nanjing Airport Highway support the experimental observation of existence of a critical speed. Based on these findings, we propose an alternative mechanism of traffic instability: the competition between stochastic factors and the so-called speed adaptation effect, which can better explain the concave growth of speed standard deviation in traffic flow.     

Field tests of a dynamic green driving strategy based on inter-vehicle communication

This paper presents the design and results for field tests regarding the environmental benefits in stop-and-go traffic of an algorithmic green driving strategy based on inter-vehicle communication (IVC), which was proposed in Yang and Jin (2014). The green driving strategy dynamically calculates advisory speed limits for vehicles equipped with IVC devices so as to smooth their speed profiles and reduce their emissions and fuel consumption. For the field tests, we develop a smartphone-based IVC system, in which vehicles’ speeds and locations are collected by GPS and accelerometer sensors embedded in smartphones, and communications among vehicles are enabled by specially designed smartphone applications, a central server, and 4G cellular networks. Six field tests are carried out on an uninterrupted ring road under slow or fast stop-and-go traffic conditions. We compare the performances of three alternatives: no green driving, heuristic green driving, and the IVC-based algorithmic green driving. Results show that heuristic green driving has better smoothing and environmental effects than no green driving, but the IVC-based algorithmic green driving outperforms both. In the future, we are interested in field tests under more realistic traffic conditions.     

Hydroelastic analysis of oblique irregular waves with a pontoon-type VLFS edged with dual inclined perforated plates

The fluid-structure interaction of oblique irregular waves with a pontoon-type very large floating structure (VLFS) edged with dual horizontal/inclined perforated plates has been investigated in the context of the direct time domain modal expansion theory. For the hydroelastic analysis, the boundary element method (BEM) based on time domain Kelvin sources is implemented to establish water wave model including the viscous effect of the perforated plates through the Darcy’s law, and the finite element method (FEM) is adopted for solving the deflections of the VLFS modeled as an equivalent Mindlin thick plate. In order to enhance the computing efficiency, the interpolation-tabulation scheme is applied to assess rapidly and accurately the free-surface Green function and its partial derivatives in finite water depth, and the boundary integral equation of a half or quarter VLFS model is further established taking advantage of symmetry of flow field and structure. Also, the numerical solutions are validated against a series of experimental tests. In the comparison, the empirical relationship between the actual porosity and porous parameter is successfully applied. Numerical solutions and model tests are executed to determine the hydroelastic response characteristics of VLFS with an attached anti-motion device. This study examines the effects of porosity, submerged depth, inclined angle and gap distance of such dual perforated anti-motion plates on the hydroelastic response to provide information regarding the optimal design. The effects of oblique wave angle on the performance of anti-motion and hydroelastic behavior of VLFS are also emphatically examined.

圆梁山隧道溶洞地段抗水压衬砌结构试验分析

对圆梁山隧道溶洞地段4.5 MPa抗水压衬砌所承受的水压力及其结构应力进行现场试验,分析隧道衬砌使用型钢混凝土组合结构在高水压作用下的受力特征。衬砌壁后水压力大小是引起衬砌结构应力发展变化的显著因素,衬砌壁后水压力的分布及其变化与地表降雨补给量和泄水洞排水状况密切关联。当衬砌壁后水压力上升时,钢筋应力比混凝土应力的增长速率大,衬砌结构内缘应力比其外缘应力的增长速率大,且在衬砌壁后水压力增量较大时,结构钢筋和混凝土的应力增长速率相对较小。这表明随壁后水压力的增大,抗水压衬砌结构内型钢发挥的承载作用更明显。     

黄土隧道围岩含水率变化及拱架受力特征研究

为了研究黄土隧道围岩含水率和钢拱架应力在施工期间的变化规律,以在建银西高铁董志塬区上阁村隧道为例,采用现场监测方法,对黄土隧道围岩体积含水率变化规律和钢拱架受力特征进行分析研究。结果表明:黄土隧道围岩含水率在时间上呈先增长后平稳的两阶段变化,在空间上表现为拱顶和拱腰位置的含水率总体小于拱脚和仰拱底部的含水率;钢拱架应力在施工期内呈先非线性增大后出现波动最后趋于平稳的三阶段变化规律,在施工期内钢拱架对承受围岩压力、确保大断面黄土隧道围岩稳定性方面发挥着重要作用。建议对大断面黄土隧道在施工期内形成"勤测含水率、重视防排水、加强初支"的管理理念。
