红外探水在高水位下断裂破碎带隧道施工中的应用

在隧道施工中,断裂破碎带富水段常出现涌水、突水突泥等地质灾害问题,在施工过程中进行超前预报探水可以在一定程度上减少人员伤亡以及财产损失。以揭(阳)惠(来)高速公路小北山一号隧道高水位断裂破碎带施工为工程背景,阐述红外探水技术的基本原理、实施方案、操作方法,以及HS-S310红外探水仪在工程中的应用实践。实践表明:超前红外探水技术针对于断裂破碎带隧道掌子面前方隐伏含水构造体的预报具有一定的准确性以及可参考性。     

中国沥青路面气候影响分区方案

为了了解中国气候条件对沥青路面的影响,分析了739个气象站1971~2000年的气象数据,以累年年不小于20℃积温、累年累计降水温度指数、累年降水冰冻组合指数和累年极端最低气温作为划分指标,累年年平均太阳辐射日总量为描述指标,采用普通克里金和协克里金方法对各指标进行空间化分析,利用多指标系统聚类、指标划分和图层叠置方法,提出了中国公路沥青路面气候影响分区方案。方案共分8个一级区和39个二级区,在北部和青藏高原,低温和低温期间降水的影响是主要的,南部则以高温和降水的影响最为显著,中部各种因素的影响比较均衡,应综合考虑。     

Port authorities view state coastal management programs

Abstract

An estuarine sanctuary is a store of public values due to the ecological, cultural, recreational, aesthetic, historic, and economic services provided by the preserve. These values may be expected to increase over time because of (1) growth in the population demanding estuarine services, (2) growth in the willingness to pay for such services, and (3) growth in the actual quality and quantity of services which are provided by a protected natural system. Thus an estuarine sanctuary will be more valuable to future generations than to current generations. When weighing the cost and benefits of a preservation or development decision, a preservation decision which seems currently undesirable may in fact be socially beneficial when growth in the value of estuarine services is included.     

基于Matlab的公路养护作业区长度优化方法研究

公路养护工作是维持道路正常运行的基本保证,设置养护作业区往往需要封闭部分车道,这常会给道路上的交通流带来不利影响,对养护作业长度进行优化设计可以减少这些负面影响。在考虑道路交通流量的时间变化特性基础上建立了养护作业费用模型,利用Matlab工具初步实现了在道路交通流随时间变化情况下的作业区长度优化计算,并给出了具体算例。     

The effect of slow zones on ridership: An analysis of the Chicago Transit Authority “El” Blue Line

Transit agencies frequently upgrade rail tracks to bring the system to a state of good repair (SGR) and to improve the speed and reliability of urban rail transit service. For safety during construction, agencies establish slow zones in which trains must reduce speed. Slow zones create delays and schedule disruptions that result in customer dissatisfaction and discontinued use of transit, either temporarily or permanently. While transit agencies are understandably concerned about the possible negative effects of slow zones, empirical research has not specifically examined the relationship between slow zones and ridership. This paper partially fills that gap. Using data collected from the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) Customer Experience Survey, CTA Slow Zone Maps, and, the Automatic Fare Collection System (AFC), it examines whether recurring service delays due to slow zones affect transit rider behavior and if the transit loyalty programs, such as smart card systems, increase or decrease rider defections. Findings suggest that slow zones increase headway deviation which reduces ridership. Smart card customers are more sensitive to slow zones as they are more likely to stop using transit as a result of delay. The findings of this paper have two major policy implications for transit agencies: (1) loyalty card users, often the most reliable source of revenue, are most at risk for defection during construction and (2) it is critical to minimize construction disruptions and delays in the long run by maintaining state of good repair. The results of this paper can likely be used as the basis for supporting immediate funding requests to bring the system to an acceptable state of good repair as well as stimulating ideas about funding reform for transit.

青海省道路气候区划研究

依据气候要素对道路工程建设的影响,根据全省气温、冻土以及潮湿系数的分布状况,结合青海省地形地貌特点,参照交通部部标准《公路自然区划标准》（JTJ003-86）,对青海省公路自然气候作了一、二级区划。一级区划将全省分为多年冻土区和季节冻土区,二级区划全省可分为11类气候类型区域。     

Fine-grained OD estimation with automated zoning and sparsity regularisation

Given a road network, a fundamental object of interest is the matrix of origin destination (OD) flows. Estimation of this matrix involves at least three sub-problems: (i) determining a suitable set of traffic analysis zones, (ii) the formulation of an optimisation problem to determine the OD matrix, and (iii) a means of evaluating a candidate estimate of the OD matrix. This paper describes a means of addressing each of these concerns. We propose to automatically uncover a suitable set of traffic analysis zones based on observed link flows. We then employ regularisation to encourage the estimation of a sparse OD matrix. We finally propose to evaluate a candidate OD matrix based on its predictive power on held out link flows. Analysis of our approach on a real-world transport network reveals that it discovers automated zones that accurately capture regions of interest in the network, and a corresponding OD matrix that accurately predicts observed link flows.
