Integrating Big Data in Metropolitan Regions to Understand Driving Volatility and Implications for Intelligent Transportation Systems

Higher driving volatility, e.g., hard accelerations or hard braking, can imply unsafe outcomes, more energy use, and higher emissions. This presentation will demonstrate how large-scale data, increasingly available from sensors, can be transformed into useful knowledge. This is done by creating a framework for combining data from multiple sources and comparing counties/regions in terms of driving volatility of resident drivers. The unique database was created from four sources that include large-scale travel surveys, historical traffic counts from California and Georgia Department of Transportation, socio-demographic information from Census, and geographic information from Google Earth. The database provides a rich resource to test hypothesis and model driving decisions at the micro-level, i.e., second-by-second. The database has 117,022 trips made by 4,560 drivers residing in 78 counties of 4 major US metropolitan areas across two states. They represent significant variations in land use types and populations; all trips were recorded by in-vehicle GPS devices giving 90,759,197 second-by-second speed records. The data integration helps explore links between driving behaviors and various factors structured in hierarchies, i.e., the data are structured at the levels of trips, drivers, counties, and regions. Appropriate hierarchical models are estimated to study correlates of driving performance and to compare traffic performance across regions. The implications of our analysis for intelligent transportation systems will be discussed.

Connected Autonomous Vehicle Control Optimization at Intersections

Connected and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV)-enabled traffic system has demonstrated great potential to mitigate congestion, reduce travel delay, and enhance safety performance. According to the U.S. Based on seamless Vehicle-To-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-To-Infrastructure communication as well as autonomous driving technologies, traffic management and control will be revolutionized. The existing studies indicate that traffic lights will be eliminated and 75 % of vehicles will be autonomous vehicles by 2040. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) plans to mandate inter-vehicle communication technologies on every single vehicle by 2016. However, one should note that the current research regarding CAV system management and control is still in its early stage. The presented study concentrates on the VISSIM-based simulation platform development to enable an innovative autonomous intersection control mechanism and optimize CAV operations at intersections without signal lights. Simulation-based investigation on traffic system operations provides a cost-effective, risk-free means of exploring optimal management strategies, identifying potential problems, and evaluating various alternatives. In the study, a VISSIM-based simulation platform is developed for simulating individual-CAV-conflict-based traffic control optimization at intersections. A novel external module will be developed via VISSIM Component Object Model (COM) interfaces. A new CAV-based control algorithm entitled a Discrete Forward-Rolling Optimal Control (DFROC) model, is developed and implemented through the VISSIM COM server. This external module can provide sufficient flexibility to satisfy any specific demands from particular researchers and practitioners for CAV control operations. Research efforts will be made to calibrate driving behavior parameters in the simulation model using drivers’ characteristic data to further strengthen the simulation creditability. Furthermore, a method for statistically analyzing simulation outputs and examining simulation reliability is developed. The methodology developed is applicable for quantitatively evaluating the impacts of various CAV control strategies on urban arterials.

Modeling Potential Consequences of Connected and Automated Vehicle to Future Travel Behaviors and Patterns Changes: A Fuzzy Cognitive Map Approach

The authors examined changes that are likely to affect transportation behaviors in the future, developed a “fuzzy cognitive map” (FCM) of the relationships, and used the FCM model to investigate the effects of those relationships. This new FCM method enables modeling the potential consequences of new technologies and services using a variant of the fuzzy cognitive map (FCM) approach, which enables problems involving imprecise and uncertain information to be modeled. Significant modifications to the standard FCM approach were made to address deficiencies found in applying the standard approach. The new approach retains some basic FCM characteristics, but it deviates substantially in a number of ways as well. It has been found that this produces well-behaved models that can be explained in common-sense terms, be easily configured, run many scenarios quickly, and used to analyze scenarios of disruptive change. The results of the study show that FCM models offer a promising method for transportation planners to enhance their ability to reason about system effects when quantitative information is limited and uncertain. More specifically, the results provide some initial guidance on the potential impacts of disruptive changes on future travel, which may help in targeting limited research funds on the most consequential potential changes.

Synthetic Approach for Scenario-Based Performance Estimation of Connected Vehicles Operating at Highway Facilities

Connected Vehicle (CV) systems are envisioned to enhance a wide range of safety, mobility and environmental aspects to highway traffic. A critical research need lies in clarifying the cause-and-effect mechanism between the CV information and driver behaviors and subsequent adaptive resiliency of improvement in operation, safety, and emissions reductions. A novel approach is hence created via developing the simulation-based tool, Synthetic Adaptive V2X Effect (SAVE) Estimator, to explore the interactions between the CV system and transportation performance. This presentation will introduce preliminary results from the speaker’s on-going research on identifying factors possibly affecting travel behavior and rationale of their aggregated impact on mobility, safety, and vehicle emission in support of simulated outcomes of synthesized scenarios at a freeway and ramp conjunction facility in the Cincinnati are, Ohio (USA). The framework and associated modeling methodology for the development of the SAVE Estimator will be also introduced alongside the discussion of the case study.

Accessing and Integrating CV and AV Sensor Data into Traffic Engineering Practice

Autonomous vehicles (AV) and connected vehicles (CV) are being designed with numerous sensors, including cameras, radar and Lidar, to enable features like adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, collision avoidance and navigation. As AVs and CVs enter the vehicle fleet, practitioners are going to have the opportunity to monitor operations for freeways, intersections and urban environments to a degree that has not been possible or practical previously. But, the very availability of data will threaten practitioners with information overload. To properly use this newly abundant data, new algorithms and systems designs will be needed to automate data collection and processing into formats that practitioners can use.

Impact Study of Vehicle Platooning and Gap Management on Traffic Operation Through Automated Vehicles

Since the advent of automated vehicle technologies, the current trend of practice in this fast-evolving field has started to move from basic research and development in a lab environment to field trials and pilot testing. While a number of studies on V2V communications and vehicle control systems have been reported for the purpose of enhancing traffic safety, this research focuses on the efficiency benefit of the technologies in traffic operations when implemented even in a small number of vehicles in the traffic stream. Specifically, this presentation discusses the effects of automated vehicles in a traffic flow mixed with regular (human operated) vehicles on platoon formation and gap acceptance to increase roadway capacity and reduce delay. The theoretical basis for such improvements is reviewed first, followed by case studies involving intersection dilemma reduction, side street gap selection, and bottleneck management at a work zone. The resultant benefits are quantified under different rates of market penetration of the automated vehicles, which are distributed randomly in the traffic stream. Preliminary findings are summarized, including the pros and cons of the implementation.

Toward Assessing State Department of Transportation Readiness for Connected Vehicle/Cooperative Systems Deployment Scenarios: An Oregon Case Study

As connected vehicle research moves into deployment, state, local and transit agencies, metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) and the private sector will start experiencing the effects of vehicles, after-market devices, mobile devices, and infrastructure with dedicated, short-range wireless communications (DSRC) and other wireless connectivity at their cores. Along with other states and regions, the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) can benefit from preliminary scoping, evaluation, and assessment of the impact of connected vehicles and infrastructure and a wide range of potential cooperative system applications. With this in mind, ODOT is aiming to determine whether or not to pursue the next phases of federal connected vehicle application funding. To assist ODOT in this assessment, a survey was distributed within the agency to gauge perception of connected and automated vehicle technology. However, many had concerns with cyber security and system failure having catastrophic consequences. Likewise, many voiced concerns about ODOT’s preparedness for connected or automated vehicles. ODOT can use these findings to help prepare for a better future of connected and automated vehicles.

Automatic Control of the Traffic Flow

Automate driving is enhancing the driving performance and reducing the crash risks. The presentation illustrates a new method for the management of the traffic flow on highways, based on the constant time to collision criterion. This criterion is addressing the car fallowing issue and it offers a speed adapted planner for the distance gap between cars. This method is able also to support a highway traffic flow management. The interface’s decision block is implemented by a fuzzy interpolative controller that is estimating the collision risk, taking into account the traffic intensity.

Impacts of Autonomous Vehicle to Airport Landside Terminal Planning and Design

Income from parking and rental car facilities, for most of commercial airports in the U.S., are significant components in their revenue. Airports design the parking capacity and calculate the parking fees according to passenger throughput and mode split forecast, as well as the leasing rate of the rental car facilities. Nevertheless, with the emerging AV transportation modes, the fundamentals could change. In the future, if financially more economical, passengers may send their AVs back to their house instead of parking at the airports. Rental car industry could follow completely new business model and may not need to lease space on airport property. In addition, the flexibility of driverless may encourage more car sharing and real-time ridesharing. Given the information of mode split and parking information of one hub airport in the U.S., this study applies statistical and simulation methods to estimate potential parking needs and provide insights for future airport landside terminal planning and design.

Next-Generation Intersection Control Powered by Autonomous and Connected Vehicle Technologies

Urban intersections are one of the key bottlenecks that cause recurring congestions. Traditional signalized control is effective but capacity-restrained. Availability of autonomous and connected vehicle technologies provides the possibility to improve intersection capacity. Powered by autonomous and connected vehicle technologies, a next-generation intersection control strategy ACUTA was developed by employing a reservation-based centralized control strategy. ACUTA converts the conflicts between traffic movements into conflicts between individual vehicles, hence enhancing intersection capacity. Comparison between ACUTA and optimized signal control revealed that ACUTA increased the intersection capacity by 33 %, resulting substantially lower delays. Particularly, comparison of the v/c ratios indicated that ACUTA could process 163 more vehicles per hour per lane without being oversaturated when compared to optimized signal control. Sustainability-wise, as ACUTA minimizes vehicle stops at intersections, it reduces emission and energy consumption as well. Sustainability effects compared with signalized intersection control include: (1) ACUTA reduces CO and PM 2.5 emissions by about 5 % under low to moderate volume conditions and by about 3 % under high volume condition; and (2) energy consumption is reduced by about 4 % under low to moderate volume conditions and by about 12 % under high volume condition. All these enhancements validate the potential benefits of implementing the next-generation intersection control.

High Accuracy Solutions of the Modified Helmholtz Equation

We study the numerical solutions for modified Helmholz equation. Based on the potential theory, the problem can be converted into a boundary integral equation. Mechanical quadrature method (MQM) is presented for solving the equation, which possesses high accuracy order $$O(h_{max}^3)$$O(hmax3) and low computing complexities. Moreover, the multivariate asymptotic error expansion of MQM accompanied with $$O(h_i^3)$$O(hi3) for all mesh widths $$h_i$$hi is got. Hence, once discrete equations with coarse meshes are solved in parallel, the higher accuracy order of numerical approximations can be at least $$O(h_{max}^5)$$O(hmax5) by splitting extrapolation algorithm (SEA). The numerical examples support our theoretical analysis.

Algorithm on Scan Trajectory for Laser Rapid Prototyping Based on Square Lattice

Laser Rapid Prototyping (LRP) can make the material accumulating by layer. And during the process, it has been known that shrinking stress may cause curl distortion. We have attempted to improve the processing speed and reduce the frequency of ON/OFF the laser. In this paper, we propose a new trajectory scan algorithm based on square lattice for Laser Rapid Prototyping (LRP). First, side-length of the square lattice is determined by the metal type and the material properties, and a set of regular square lattices is arranged based on the slices. Then, following the principles of not repeating and fewer breakpoints in solving Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), the scanning sequence for each area is calculated. Therefore, a certain scan strategy can be determined, followed by the output of trajectory scan. We present the specific steps of the algorithm. The experiment proves the feasibility and superiority of the algorithm.

Increasing Robustness of Differential Evolution by Passive Opposition

The differential evolution (DE) algorithm is known to be fairly robust among various global optimization algorithms. However, the application of this algorithm to an extensive set of test functions shows DE fails at least partially on 19 % of the test functions, and completely on 6.9 % of the test functions. The opposition-based DE in the literature, while aimed to improve the efficiency of DE, has a robustness even worse than that of the classic DE. In this paper we describe a new variant of DE called “passive oppositional differential evolution” (PODE) which utilizes opposition in such a way that a set of opposite vectors, while not part of the population, are used in mutation to gain diversity. Numerical experiments show that compared to DE and ODE, it has a much better robustness and a similar speed of convergence.

Design and Analysis of Efficient Algorithm for Counting and Enumerating Cycles in LDPC Codes

Since short cycles and trapping sets are culprits of performance and error floor of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, it is necessary to obtain information about the number and the distribution of all cycles in Tanner graphs. However, the established algorithms could not efficiently search all cycles on account of restrictions from both the structure and the girth of Tanner graphs. The proposed algorithm solve the above problems with message-passing schedule, counting and enumerating the cycles simultaneously. With information derived from the proposed algorithm, performance will be enhanced and error floor will be lower, which is meaningful for both adjustment and design of LDPC codes. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm can be applied on general bipartite graphs.

Soft Fusion with Second-Order Uncertainty Based on Vague Set

The vague set theory can overcome the shortcomings of fuzzy set by describing the membership from two sides of both TRUE and FALSE, rather than only by a single membership value, with the further generalization of fuzzy set theory. It is superior in mathematical analysis of system with uncertainty, since vague sets can provide more information than fuzzy sets. And it is more powerful in the describing and processing of uncertain, inaccurate, even conflicting information. In this paper, focused on the second-order uncertainty (SOU) issues in a weak knowledge environment which comes from generalized or ubiquitous sensors, a novel method of fuzzy decision fusion was presented based on vague set. The new method is more efficient and powerful to fulfill decision fusion with uncertain and inaccurate information.

Dynamic Path Selection Model Based on Logistic Regression for the Shunt Point of Highway

In the operation management and real-time monitoring of the highway, we always want to know the current position of all vehicles in real time, so that we can find the congestion and accident section timely and make effective treatment. But in reality, only a small part of the highway vehicles equipped with a global positioning system, and can access to the location information in real-time, for the most of the vehicles, we can only access the position point when they are in and out the highway by the toll data, and cannot get access to their specific routing when they are on the highway. Especially when the vehicle is moving to the shunt point, during the current state we cannot know exactly which direction the vehicle will choose next, which leads to the result that we cannot estimate the correct position of vehicles. In order to accurately identify the direction of vehicles in the shunt point, this paper proposes a framework that based on the highway toll data, the A* algorithm and logistic regression were used to predict the direction choose of vehicles on the shunt point of highway. The framework takes the historical toll data as a sample to train the feature weight in logistic regression model, and takes the actual direction of vehicles on the shunt point as a test set to evaluate the effectiveness of the method proposed by this paper.

Research on a Rapid Hierarchical Algorithm for the Wavelet Transform Based Contour Detection of Medium Plates

This paper reviews two problems occur in the online real-time detection for cold rolled medium plates-low transmission efficiency and poor performance. The detecting process involves sending collected images to the industrial personal computer (IPC) of a camera where a rapid contour detection scheme of medium plates based on wavelet transform is presented. The overall architecture, contour detection principle and new two graded data transmission structure which are different from traditional ones will be analyzed. In the first place, the wavelet scalar quantization algorithm is used for pre-processing and compressing the picture captured by the image acquisition module. Subsequently, the processed data will be sent to the IPC where it is then uncompressed. Results show that the compressed image size equals 0.09 % of the original one; hence the new method is of capability to improve the overall system effectiveness significantly without affecting the accuracy.

Accelerating Reservoir Simulation on Multi-core and Many-Core Architectures with Graph Coloring ILU(k)

Incomplete LU (ILU) methods are widely used in petroleum reservoir simulation and many other applications. However high complexity often makes them the hotspot in the whole simulation due to high complexity when problem size is large. ILU’s inherent serial nature also makes them difficult to take full advantage of computing power of multi-core and many-core devices. In this paper, a greedy graph coloring method is applied to the ILU(k) factorization and triangular solution phases. This method increases degree of parallelism and improves load balance. A block-wise storage format is employed in our ILU implementation in order to take advantage of hierarchical memory structures. Moreover, a dual intensive parallel model is proposed to further improve the performance of ILU(k) on GPUs. We test the performance of the proposed parallel ILU(k) with a set of Jacobian systems arising from petroleum reservoir simulation. Numerical results suggest that the proposed parallel ILU(k) method is effective and robust on multi-core and many-core architectures. On an Intel Xeon E5 multi-core CPU, the speedup compared with the serial execution time is $$5.6\times $$5.6× and $$5.4\times $$5.4× for factorization and triangular solution, respectively; on an Nvidia K40c GPU card, the speedup can reach $$8.6\times $$8.6× and $$12.7\times $$12.7× for factorization and triangular solution, respectively.

Indoor Scene Classification Based on Mid-Level Features

In this paper, we use mid-level features to solve the problems of indoor scene image classification. The mid-level patches should satisfy two conditions: (1) representative, they should occur frequently enough in the visual world; (2) discriminative, they need to be different enough from the rest of the visual world. In this paper, we propose a method to select the initial patches. It can eliminate a large number of patches which are mismatch the conditions, and there is no need manual processing. For initial patches we adopt unsupervised cluster algorithm on HOG space. Then, using the purity-discriminative evaluation criteria, the top r clusters were selected to represent each scene. The experimental results on MIT Indoor 67 scene image classification datasets indicate that our method can achieve very promising performance.

Object Detection Based on Improved Exemplar SVMs Using a Generic Object Measure

Recent years most object detection method tends to use the sliding window fashion, which need to search the whole images entirely, causing the extreme waste of search resources. In this paper we propose an object detection method based on improved Exemplar SVMs (IESVM). Our method mainly includes two steps: (1) Coarse object detection: we use a generic object measure to find a region that may contain objects. In this step we do not care about the category of the objects. (2) Precise object detection: we extract the regions created in last step, in where we use Exemplar SVMs to finish the mission of detection. It is proved that the our method can reduce the search space and improve the accuracy of detection. We evaluate our IESVM method on the PASCAL VOC 2007 dataset and find that our method achieves good results in the PASCAL object detection challenges.

Euler–Maclaurin Expansions and Quadrature Formulas of Hyper-singular Integrals with an Interval Variable

In this paper, we present a kind of quadrature rules for evaluating hyper-singular integrals $$ \int _{a}^{b}g(x)q^{\alpha }(x,t)dx$$∫abg(x)qα(x,t)dx and $$\int _{a}^{b}g(x)q^{\alpha }(x,t)\ln |x-t| dx$$∫abg(x)qα(x,t)ln|x-t|dx, where $$q(x,t)=|x-t|$$q(x,t)=|x-t| (or $$x-t$$x-t), $$t\in (a,b)$$t∈(a,b) and $$\alpha \le -1$$α≤-1(or $$\alpha <-1$$α<-1). Since the derivatives of density function g(x) in the quadrature formulas can be eliminated by means of the extrapolation method, the formulas can be easily applied to solving corresponding hyper-singular boundary integral equations. The reliability and efficiency of the proposed formulas in this paper are demonstrated by some numerical examples.

Bayesian Fault Diagnosis Using Principal Component Analysis Approach with Continuous Evidence

For fault diagnosis problems where the historical data is from a number of monitors, conventional likelihood estimation approaches for Bayesian diagnosis are typically independent or lumped approach. However, for most chemical processes the monitor outputs are often not independent, but exhibit correlations to some extent; as for the lumped approach, it is infeasible due to the curse of dimensionality and the limited size of historical dataset. Also there is another limitation to the accuracy of the diagnosis that the continuous monitor readings are commonly discretized to discrete values, therefore information of the continuous data cannot be fully utilized. In this paper principal component analysis (PCA) approach is proposed to transform the evidence into independent pieces, and kernel density estimation is used to improve the diagnosis performance. The application to the Tennessee Eastman Challenge process using the benchmark data demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Behavior Recognition of Scale Adaptive Local Spatio-Temporal Characteristics Harris Algorithm

As the accuracy of standard Harris algorithm is not high in the application of behavior recognition, this paper proposed a behavior recognition model based on scale adaptive local spatio-temporal characteristics Harris algorithm, which firstly uses local spatio-temporal characteristics function to achieve fast convolution in order to reduce complexity of the algorithm, and then uses scale adaptive local spatio-temporal characteristics function to replace Gaussian function as the filter of the algorithm, and finally calculates the adaptive matrix and the response value of the angle points in order to improve the accuracy of behavior recognition. Simulation results show that the accuracy of the Harris Algorithm based on scale adaptive local spatio-temporal characteristics, proposed in this paper, is higher than the standard Harris algorithm on behavior recognition.

Surface Defect Detection Algorithm Based on Local Neighborhood Analysis

Surface defect detection algorithm based on local neighborhood is proposed to improve the accuracy and real-time of surface defect detection in automation industrial production. A local neighborhood window slides over the entire inspection image, and the coefficient of variation is used as a homogeneity measure. A defect-free region will generate a smaller value of Variation Coefficient than that of a defective region. A simple threshold can thus be used to extract and segment the defective regions. The integral image is introduced to increase the computational efficiency. The proposed algorithm is used to detecting only one single discrimination feature. It could avoid complicated Spectral decomposition and sample learning. Experimental results from material surface detection in the industry, has shown the feasibility and effectiveness.

Characteristics Analysis on Speed Time Series with Empirical Mode Decomposition as Vehicle Driving Towards an Intersection

In this paper, we explore the characteristics of vehicle speed time series which described the processes that a driver finishing a specific driving task with different driving operations. Three types of vehicle driving behavior like driving towards an intersection for turn-left, driving for turn-right, and driving for go-straight are designed as a set of real vehicle driving experiments to be carried out on an urban road. Similar to the expected, the collected speed time series of all driving behavior types tend to be non-linear and non-stationary. Therefore, empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is introduced to analyze the characteristic values of speed time series intrinsic mode functions (IMF) and residues. After decomposing, there are 4 levels of IMF with a residue exist existed in the speed time series of turn-left driving behavior, as well as 3 levels in turn-right and 5 levels in go-straight. All the first level IMF of three types of vehicle driving behavior have relatively high frequencies which could be regarded as systematic errors of vehicle speed sensors. As the decomposition continued, subsequent IMF frequencies become lower but average amplitudes have different change trends which could help identifying the driving behavior types. All residue curves are firstly monotone increasing and then monotone decreasing, but the occurrence time of residue maximums are inconsistent. Through this research, we can distinguish the driving behavior type between turn-left, turn-right and go-straight with those vehicle driving behavior time series characteristic values and their changing trend. If all those judgment and statistics of characteristic values be implemented by vehicular industrial control computes, it would improve driving behavior recognition or prediction performances of an advanced driving assistance embedded on vehicle.

Low-Complexity and High-Accuracy Carrier Frequency Offset Estimation for MB-OFDM UWB Systems

Most of carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation methods for multi-band orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) based ultra-wideband (UWB) systems focus on improving the robustness of CFO estimation. However, as the CFO between the transmitter and the receiver in MB-OFDM UWB systems is small, the accuracy of CFO estimation is also important. In this paper, a CFO estimator targeting at low complexity and high accuracy is proposed. A structure with dual auto-correlation (AC) is designed to improve the accuracy of CFO estimation. To maintain high robustness, a modified AC block, in which the samples that have been greatly affected by noise are removed, is proposed. The evaluation results show that the proposed CFO estimator has low implementation complexity, high accuracy and high robustness.

Numerical Simulation on Gas Flow Distribution in ESP for Convertor Gas Purification

It is necessary to purify the convertor gas when it is recycled in gas tank. The electrostatic precipitator is widely used for convertor gas dedusting because of its high efficiency and low pressure loss. However, the collection efficiency of electrostatic precipitator is affected by the gas flow distribution uniformity of the inlet and outlet. Based on the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) method, numerical calculation for gas flow distribution is carried out by using the k-$$\epsilon $$ϵ two equation turbulence model and SIMPLE (Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations) algorithm. The results show that the optimal opening ratio of gas flow distribution plate is less than 30 $$\%$$%. The position of inlet gas flow distribution plate has great influence on the gas flow uniformity. Compared with the gas flow field difference between columnar electrostatic precipitator and rectangular one, the columnar electrostatic precipitator has the advantages of high collection efficiency and structure strength. The gas flow distribution uniformity in columnar electrostatic precipitator is also superior to the rectangular one.

An Urgent Traffic Dispersion and Assignment Model for Urban Road Flooding

Urban road flooding often causes road capacity reduction, traffic congestion and inconvenience in citizens daily travel. This paper proposes an urgent traffic dispersion and assignment model for the case of urban road flooding, with the aim of maximizing the level of service in the road network by controlling the road capacity. First, based on prospect theory and taking the historical travel time average as a reference, the model adopts the BPR (Bureau of Public Roads) function to represent the cost-flow relationship to calculate the prospect value of each route. Second, the travelers route choice behavior is described in logit model with the prospect value as the utility. Third, based on the route choice results, the traffic flow on the congested road sections is dispersed by controlling the road capacity, so the traffic flow to the flooded roads can be adaptively assigned to other roads. Finally, a direct iterative method and genetic algorithm are used to solve the proposed model. The former attempts to implement the traffic assignment based on the travelers route choice behavior, and the latter is used to find the satisfying solution through selection, crossover and mutation. The proposed model is applied to a given road network with an assumption of some road capacity reduction due to road flooding. The results show that when the proposed model is applied, the saturation ratio (or level of service) of the roads in the entire network is more uniform and the distribution of the saturation ratio of main roads is reduced, so the traffic flow in the whole network can remain smooth and the level of service can remain high.

The Design and Implementation of Openstreetmap Application System Aimed at Emergency Logistics

Compared to traditional logistics, the emergency logistics show the characteristics of sudden, uncertainty, time urgency. The regular commercial maps used in the traditional logistics system (such as Baidu map, Google map), cannot satisfy the need that the emergency logistics will plan the best route autonomouslyin order to ensure the rescue time under the condition of disaster. Openstreetmap (OSM) is an open sourcemap which the greatest strength is the open data and the free secondary development. In this paper, we designed three parts on the Android terminal including the view layer, the logic control layer and data interaction layer based on the OSM data and the REST service interface which the ArcGIS Server provides; The system has achieved the offline maps reading and parsing function and real-time locationfunction. So it will combine the open source OSM with emergency logistics demand and provide a reference for the emergency logistics to plan the bestroute.

The Improved Weighted Evolution Model of the AS-Level Internet Topology

By studying the evolution of the Internet behavior, this brief paper introduces a weighted evolution network model based on the Internet Autonomous System (AS) layer. This model considers four kinds of Internet evolutionary behavior: on one hand the AS nodes birth and the links growth based on a preferential attachment rule and on the other hand the AS nodes recession and the links death based on an anti-preferential attachment rule. Through a theoretical analysis with the rate equation method and a simulation experiments on MATLAB environment, the node’s degree and strength distribution both follows a power-law distribution. The power-law coefficient is proportional to the ratio of the preferential attachment tendency and anti-preferential attachment tendency. The experimental results were basically consistent with the theoretical analysis value, confirming the correctness of the model.

Toward a Green Transport System: A Review of Non-technical Methodologies for Developing Cities

In this paper we address the question: How should developing cities green their urban transport systems? As a new developing paradigm in the urban transport field, green transport has been advocated and fostered for over 20 years. It is regarded as an effective model to face a series of problems emerging in urban area and support sustainable developments. It desires much further development in the future. However even today most successful practices are found in developed cities and developing cities have performed it poorly. Although many technical solutions were testified useful in developed cities, they may be not so suitable for developing cities for their technology and capital intensive nature. We review non-technical solutions for developing cities, emphasizing on those that contribute to changing the composition of travel modes, i.e. increasing the share of walking, cycling and transit modes. Methodologies working toward a travel style in which walking, cycling and transit modes occupy dominant proportion are studied underlying four strategies: changing land use, giving priority to public transport, promoting walking and cycling and restricting car owning and using. We highlight their effects and limitations and assess their adaptabilities in developing cities. And in the end we summarize some matters need attention for applying the methodologies reviewed.

Estimating Initial Guess of Localization by Line Matching in Lidar Intensity Maps

While driving in typical traffic scenes with drastic drift or sudden jump of GPS positions, the localization methods based on wrong initial positions could not select the properly overlapping data from the pre-built map to match with current data, rendering the localizations as not feasible. In this paper, we first propose to estimate an initial position by matching in the infrared reflectivity maps. The maps consists of a highly precise prior map built with offline SLAM technique and a smooth current map built with the integral over velocities. Considering the attributes of the low-texture maps, we adopt the stable, rich line segments to match. A affinity graph to measure the pairwise consistency of the candidate line matches is constructed using the local appearance, pairwise geometric attribute and is efficiently solved with a spectral technique. The initial global position is obtained by converting the structure between current position and matched lines. Experiment on the campus with GPS error of dozens of meters shows that our algorithm can provide an robust initial value with meter-level accuracy.

Correlation Between Respiration and Lung Organ Motion Detected by Optical Flow

The method that detects the tumor’s position indirectly has played an important role in dynamic radiotherapy for lung cancer because of its non-invasion property. The key problem of this approach, which has not been solved well, is to create a robust correlation model between the respiration and the tumor motion. Aiming at this problem and considering the fact that the lung tumor has similar motion law with the lung organ, we selected the patient’s breathing and the fluoroscopic images of lung organ as research objects to investigate the correlation between the respiration and the lung organ motion. The optical flow algorithm is utilized to track the motion of the lung organ in the fluoroscopic images sequence automatically, and the waveform of the lung organ motion is compared with the respiratory signal. Experimental results show that there is a phase discrepancy between these two kinds of waveforms. After phase aligning, a linear relationship can be found between the respiratory signal and the lung organ motion. By using this model, the lung organ motion can be measured with a maximum error of 25 % by means of respiration.

Numerical results demonstrate that the iteration numbers of $$B_2^p$$B2p-CG holds the weakest dependence on the grid size, while $$B_3^p$$B3p-CG is the most efficient solver. Furthermore, $$B_3^p$$B3p-CG possesses considerable advantages over SA-CG in computational capability and efficiency. In particular, $$B_3^p$$B3p-CG runs 3.67 times faster than SA-CG when solving a problem with about one-million unknowns.
