Abstract:
With driving environment becoming more and more crowded,aggressive driving happens more frequently.Studies aboard have systematic analyzed aggressive driving behaviors;however few have been done in China.A survey is applied in this study and the samples are selected from drivers across China.Factor analysis is then used to extract common factors of the driver anger indicators scales (DAIS) of 761 drivers from three districts:North China,East China,and South Central China.The correlation among common factors and age,gender,years of driving,region,and accidents involved in the past three years have also been analyzed.In addition,according to scores of common factors and results of variance analysis,differences among regional DAIS are analyzed.The results indicate that drivers from South Central China have the highest frequency of aggressive driving behaviors,followed by North China,and the lowest are from East China.Aggressive driving behaviors have a strong correlation with accidents.Another finding of this study is that in every district,drivers always claim that they having been subjected to aggressive driving behaviors more than they committed.

2016, 34(6): 15-21,76. doi: 10.3963/j.issn 1674-4861.2016.06.003

Abstract:
Few efforts have been made to quantitatively analyze the relationship between traffic congestion index (TCI) and emissions in urban traffic networks.This study develops a method to derive speed distributions for TPI-specific traffic patterns based on massive floating car data (FCD).The relationship between speed and emission factors is quantified based on massive data of vehicle activity and emissions.After analyzing influencing factors of traffic performance index (TPI) and emission factors,speed distribution is identified as a bridging parameter between TPI and emission factors.In order to reduce the uncertainty of the TPbderived emission factors,a K-Means clustering method is applied to classify speed distributions of the TPI-specific traffic pattern by analyzing factors influencing speed distribution.It turns out that when sample data is clustered by road classes,weekdays/weekends,time periods (06:00-12:00,12:00-22:00 and 22:00-06:00),the coefficient of variation of speed distribution (CVSD) decrease by 10.1 %,13.6 %,and 14.6 %,respectively and the coefficient of variation of emission factor (CVEF) decrease by 10.1%,13.4%,and 14.2%,respectively.Emission factors of the TPI-specific traffic pattern for different classes of roads are calculated under different clustering criteria.

2016, 34(6): 22-29. doi: 10.3963/j.issn 1674-4861.2016.06.004
Abstract(599) PDF(7)
Abstract:
To avoid pedestrian-vehicular collision,systems for pedestrian detection and collision warning are used in intelligent driver assistance systems.However,the warning systems can be useless under impaired driving.In this study,based on a pedestrian detection system,an intelligent control system for vehicles is proposed to avoid pedestrian-vehicular collisions.First,Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) are applied to detect pedestrians.Risk of pedestrian-vehicular collisions is predicted by using an algorithm of risk identification.Then,based on a vehicle dynamics model,speed of vehicles is adaptively controlled under different risk levels.The results show that the developed system can detect pedestrians quickly and accurately,its accuracy can reach 89% in real-time under dynamic scenes.The risk warning system can control the vehicle to take a safe and stable brake under emergencies,thus pedestrian-vehicular collisions can be effectively avoided.

2016, 34(6): 30-36. doi: 10.3963/j.issn 1674-4861.2016.06.005
Abstract(597) PDF(0)
Abstract:
Improper width of right shoulder is considered as one of the most important reasons that lead to traffic accidents on highways.Meanwhile,variation of driving environments could cause disorder of driving behaviors.Therefore,with a purpose to explore the effects of different right shoulder width on consistency of driving behaviors,typical road segments with different shoulder width in Guangdong Province are chosen as samples in this study.The impacts are investigated from an aspect of vision awareness.The results indicate that when a vehicle is driving along the most right lane,the difference of the right shoulder width has the most significant influence on coordination of driving behaviors.The drivers would be distracted or feel nervous when the shoulder width is either too narrow or wide.Optimal shoulder width could help drivers to keep a safe,comfortable and effective status.In conclusion,a proper design of shoulder width of highways could reduce the risk of traffic accidents.

2016, 34(6): 48-53. doi: 10.3963/j.issn 1674-4861.2016.06.007
Abstract(513) PDF(15)
Abstract:
Residence time of buses at bay stations is the main factor of influencing efficiencies of bus stations.In order to rationally design bus stations,taking bay stations at mid-blocks as a case study,with queuing theory and kinematics principles,an estimated model of residence time of buses at bay stations in different situations is established,and a calculation method of residence time is also given.The simulation results show that the average time of bus getting in station is slightly larger than that of exiting due to relative position at one platform.Compared to the number of passengers getting on or off buses,arrival rate of buses has more evident influence to residence time.For one bus waiting for getting in one station,its residence time increases with the increase of arrival rate,and time gap between two kinds of situations (the bus need to wait for a while to exit the station,or not) becomes smaller.This model provides effective reference to plan and design bus stations and improves efficiency of bus systems.

2016, 34(6): 60-69. doi: 10.3963/j.issn 1674-4861.2016.06.009
Abstract(657) PDF(0)
Abstract:
Current methods of computing height of antiglare facilities at median strips of highways are relatively approximate and inaccurate,because the 3D features of highways are not taken into consideration.In order to obtain rational and effective height of antiglare,an innovative three-dimensional computing method is proposed in this study.Based on the hypothesis that illumination range of vehicle light is of a pyramid shape,an algorithm is established with Matlab to simulate the space illuminated by headlamp during driving.A method is proposed to obtain viewpoint coordinate sets affected by glare when a vehicle is in any position.With the principle that the highest point of one antiglare facility is just on the line which connects viewpoint and light source,anti-dazzling heights of antiglare facilities at all positions can be successively computed by Matlab.A case study shows that the heights of antiglare facilities can be directly obtained using this method with necessary input data.

Abstract(306) PDF(0)
Abstract:
Origins of passenger flow of subway stations lays the foundation for planning of rail networks,optimizing connections between rail transit and ground transportations and setting up of the related facilities.Based on numerous signaling data of mobile phones with location information,a method for investigating origins of passenger flow of subway stations is proposed.On the basis of identifying distribution of Origin-Destination (OD) of passengers throughout a day,considering the fact that signal of mobile phones would be switched to different location areas (LA) when entering or exiting subway stations,time and location of a trip can be then justified.Comparing the time when passengers entered subway station with the departure time of all trips throughout a day,a complete trip chain of passengers who taking subway can be obtained.Then origin areas of these trips can be computed.Three typical stations of Beijing Subway Line 2 are selected for case studies.The computed results are compared with the data from Auto Fare Collection (AFC) machines in subway stations and the results of questionnaires.The comparisons show that the proposed algorithm is able to correctly identify more than 65 % of station demands,and the average error of identifying origins of passenger flow is about 5%.Finally,the distribution characteristics of the sources of subway passengers are analyzed.

Abstract(313) PDF(0)
Abstract:
In recent years,studies on communication system of mini UAVs based on 4G technologies are still in the initial stage,and limited literature focuses on scheduling strategy which is essential for the improvement of quality of service (QoS).An uplink scheduling strategy for QoS transmission guarantee of multiple information flows is developed in mini UAV systems,on basis of 4G TD-LTE technology with National Intellectual Property Rights.This proposed strategy provides a systematic mapping method and its corresponding scheduling algorithm for various kinds of information flows in mini UAV systems.By introducing weight factors of the QoS Class Identifier (QCI) and time-delay guarantee,the scheduling weight function of proportional fair (PF) algorithm is improved to achieve adaptive optimization of wireless resource allocation.This provides differentiated transmission services for information flows delivered between mini UAV terminals and control center.Moreover,fly safety and high quality information collection could be guaranteed for UAVs.

Abstract(369) PDF(0)
Abstract:
In order to achieve the rational distribution of traffic flow in a road network,Variable Message Signs (VMS) can guide drivers to choose optimal route through dynamic traffic information.In this study,a mutti-category ordinal Logit model has been developed based on a stated preference survey,and the factors which have effects on drivers while choosing route under VMS condition has been analyzed.The results show that the main affecting factors are age,travel distance,travel path,degree of trust in VMS and frequency of change route.Among personal properties,age is the most effective factor.As to travelling properties,drivers are sensitive to travel distance and travel path.In compliant properties towards VMS,higher degree of trust in VMS brings more probability when drivers choose to switch path according to guidance information provided by VMS;drivers with high frequency of changing route are more likely to switch path.
