Deciphering interactions between white-tailed deer and approaching vehicles

Deer-vehicle collisions are a major transportation hazard, but factors affecting deer escape decision-making in response to vehicle approach remain poorly characterized. We made opportunistic observations of deer response to vehicle approach during daylight hours on a restricted-access facility in Ohio, USA (vehicle speeds were ≤64 km/h). We hypothesized that animal proximity to the road, group size, vehicle approach, and ambient conditions would affect perceived risk by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) to vehicle approach, as measured by flight-initiation distance (FID). We constructed a priori models for FID, as well as road-crossing behavior. Deer responses were variable and did not demonstrate spatial or temporal margins of safety. Road-crossing behavior was slightly and positively influenced by group size during winter. Deer showed greater FIDs and likelihood of crossing when approached in the road; directionality of approach likely increased the perceived risk. These findings are consistent with antipredator theory relative to predator approach direction.

大型购物中心诱增交通量预测方法研究

近年来，随着人们生活水平的提高和消费观念的改变，shopping mall正在中国越来越热。shopping mall由于体量庞大，它的建设无疑会对城市道路交通体系产生较大的影响。本文在对北京mall交通影响分析实践的基础上，根据购物(休闲娱乐)出行需求的特点，提出了大型购物中心诱增交通量预测的思路，并重点阐述了商圈分析法和非集计模型在诱增交通量预测中的应用，取得了较好的效果。

铜汤公路工程对沿线珍稀濒危野生动物的影响及对策

根据对铜陵至汤口公路评价区野外调查的结果,综合相关历史资料,以黑麂为“代理种”(surrogate species),分析拟建项目对珍稀濒危野生动物的影响程度。结果表明:①铜汤公路K151-K160段和K173 500至终点段处于黑麂的一般活动区,但铜汤公路全线均位于海拔400 m以下,不直接侵占黑麂的栖息地和主要觅食区;②公路施工期初期,受爆破噪音的影响,黑麂等珍稀濒危野生动物可能会远离公路沿线区域,爆破作业结束后的施工期和运营期,噪声对黑麂的影响范围为公路中心线两侧200 m以内区域;③铜汤公路在大部分路段均不会对公路两侧珍稀濒危野生动物的通行造成明显影响,也不会使种群异质化程度加剧,但在K173 500至终点段,由于105国道和本项目的共同影响,附近区域的黑麂种群将形成异质种群。针对上述影响,对铜汤公路动物通道设置、林区施工管理、局部绿化方案、施工人员教育和管理以及野生动物保护应急能力建设等提出了针对性的缓解措施。

An exploratory study on the Northern Sea Route as an alternative shipping passage

This qualitative inductive research explores the potential benefits for the Scandinavian economy and ports through the implementation of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) as an alternative for container shipping to the established Southern route through the Suez Canal. To extract expert’s opinions and address these objectives, we utilised in-depth face-to-face semi-structured interviews through purposive sampling in a single case study setting. The analysis of the data demonstrates that the commercialisation of NSR can yield benefits for the Scandinavian economy (e.g. GDP increase, jobs creation) and reveals the benefits of Scandinavian ports (e.g. ECA’s, flexibility, hinterland, etc.) compared to other ports in North West Europe, which potentially grasp the NSR as an opportunity. However, it is highlighted that this can only be achieved if Scandinavian countries are proactive and secure their involvement.     

新冠肺炎疫情对交通运输行业的影响及政策建议

2019年底开始的新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情对交通运输行业造成了明显冲击。为分析疫情对当前交通运输行业带来的影响,重点从客运、货运、港口生产、交通固定资产投资四方面进行了研究。然后,提出了四方面政策建议,包括加强交通运输疫情防控、积极发挥交通投资稳定器作用、加大高速公路通行服务保障和确保关系国计民生的重点物资基本运输需求,以便为各级交通运输管理部门决策提供参考,争取将疫情对行业的影响降到最低程度。     

论绿色壁垒的突破及其与世贸规则的协调

当今时代,随着国际贸易的日益融合和发展,国家之间因贸易而产生的摩擦也日益增多。追求贸易与环境的协调统一本来是发展大计。但当它成为发达国家设置的绿色壁垒时。如何应对,如何使其与世贸规则协调,则成为我国应该重视的问题。本文通过对绿色壁垒问题的研究,希望能对其突破及解决有所裨益。
