A signal decomposition method based on repeated extraction of maximum energy component for offshore structures

Contrary to most signal decomposition methods that usually decompose an original signal into a series of components simultaneously, a novel approach based on repeated extraction of Maximum Energy Component (MEC) is proposed. The approach starts from determination of the MEC referring to the estimated Power Spectral Density (PSD) function, and then represents the MEC by employing an exponential function to fit the original signal. By defining a stopping criterion based on two adjacent estimated PSDs, each MEC can be accurately extracted with an improved performance throughout the entire signal decomposition. To verify the proposed method, a single degree-of-freedom system subject to harmonic loads has been examined. Numerical results show that the analytical response can not only be decomposed into four MECs corresponding to the excitation and the system, respectively, but also provide an accurate estimation of natural frequency and damping ratio of the system. Meanwhile, by observing results from the Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD), Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) and Prony based on state-space model (Prony-SS), an improved decomposition accuracy has been achieved from the proposed approach. Furthermore, experimental data from the Norwegian Deepwater Programme and two sets of field-test data from one fixed offshore platform and an offshore wind turbine have been used to demonstrate the correctness of the developed signal decomposition method. It is noted that divergence in results by Prony-SS can be observed when a very large model order is used, while the proposed method provides the better decomposition and reconstruction of signals.

基于灰度对比图与最大熵的钢轨图像分割

针对CCD相机采集的钢轨表面图像灰度不均、过度曝光、噪声过大等导致的一维最大熵法无法准确分割缺陷的问题,提出一种将灰度对比图和形态学重构相结合,再用最大熵法进行分割的图像分割算法。首先求得钢轨图像的灰度对比图,接着将灰度对比图经过形态学开-闭重构获得钢轨背景图像,然后将背景图像与灰度对比图相减,得到包含缺陷的差分图,最后将差分图用最大熵法进行分割。实验表明,提出的灰度対比图法能够很好地缓解光照不均,过度曝光对检测带来的影响,形态学开-闭重构不仅能够获得所需的背景模型还能抑制一定的噪声,该算法简单、有效、鲁棒性较高,分割精度可以达到90%。

考虑支路路段双向车流相互影响的因素,从道路负荷与公平性的角度出发,优化单向交通组织方案。建立一主多从的双层规划模型,上层规划是多目标规划,以单行交通组织方案为决策,以路段饱和度超限量最小化降低道路负荷、以车辆绕行系数最小化提高公平性。下层规划是考虑支路路段双向车流相互影响的均衡交通分配(每个点对之间的最短路各自由1个下层规划确定,但所有下层规划确定的最短路可一次性求解)。双层规划可用模拟退火算法求解,求解效果明显优于支路路段通行能力等量划分为双向分道行驶的传统优化方法。

Studying the benefits of carpooling in an urban area using automatic vehicle identification data

Carpooling has been considered a solution for alleviating traffic congestion and reducing air pollution in cities. However, the quantification of the benefits of large-scale carpooling in urban areas remains a challenge due to insufficient travel trajectory data. In this study, a trajectory reconstruction method is proposed to capture vehicle trajectories based on citywide license plate recognition (LPR) data. Then, the prospects of large-scale carpooling in an urban area under two scenarios, namely, all vehicle travel demands under real-time carpooling condition and commuter vehicle travel demands under long-term carpooling condition, are evaluated by solving an integer programming model based on an updated longest common subsequence (LCS) algorithm. A maximum weight non-bipartite matching algorithm is introduced to find the optimal solution for the proposed model. Finally, road network trip volume reduction and travel speed improvement are estimated to measure the traffic benefits attributed to carpooling. This study is applied to a dataset that contains millions of LPR data recorded in Langfang, China for 1 week. Results demonstrate that under the real-time carpooling condition, the total trip volumes for different carpooling comfort levels decrease by 32–49%, and the peak-hour travel speeds on most road segments increase by 5–40%. The long-term carpooling relationship among commuter vehicles can reduce commuter trips by an average of 30% and 24% in the morning and evening peak hours, respectively, during workdays. This study shows the application potential and promotes the development of this vehicle travel mode.
