The global sales volume of automobiles increased in the last years and electric vehicles and autonomous vehicles are main topics of the automobile industry. Many well-known automobile manufactures have already developed their own electric vehicles. Furthermore, the development of self-driving cars is content of many research projects and the first autonomous vehicles are already driving on the roads...
Analyzing the influence on traffic flow at intersection according to the driving characteristics of modern tram with different lane layout types. Proposing a method of dynamic priority algorithm (DPA) based on the idea of multiple attribute decision making (MADM) to analyze intersection delay. The VAP module based on MATLAB in Vissim is used to simulate the induction control of the modern tram through...
Multiple vehicle detection and identification techniques have been widely applied to acquire road traffic information depending on various sensors, such as video camera, induction loop and magnetic sensor. Magnetic sensor can measure magnetic field distortion caused by the movement of vehicles and record reliable data. The precise volume and component of traffic flow can be obtained through reasonable...
This paper introduces a kind of simulation testing system scheme for train-borne controller and applies it to the simulation testing system of the controller. Besides, it elaborates the system structure, interface type and key module of the hardware realization. The simulation testing system for train-borne controller is completely built, and plays a vital role in the train-borne controller simulation...
High-speed railway ballastless track two-way pre-tensioning prestressed track slab by unit serial method is a new type of track slab prestressed system developed in China. In Shandong Linqu, the first time in the world it achieves mass production of two-way pre-tensioning prestressed track slab Through research on system innovations of the partial prestressed "composite anchoring" technology...
A large interest has recently been given to global chassis control. This requires a tire model adapted to control synthesis that can represent combined slip. In this paper, a new suitable tire model for vehicle coupled operations control is proposed. The existing models are either too simple to represent coupled behaviors or too complex to allow control synthesis. This new tire model takes benefits...
The aim of this work is to control a permanent magnetic axial flux machine with non-sinusoidal back-emf, meant for electric vehicles, by applying a passivity based control strategy. Although, the drive is equipped with Hall Effect sensors, the performance of the system is improved by introducing a linear position observer. The control system consist in a nested current loop, designed using Passivity...
Interests in clean energy technologies have been growing in recent years especially for transportation, portable equipments as well as stationary power applications. Among the clean technology that gained high attention and investment to date is fuel cell, as a fuel cells is known to be able to produce electricity from a wide selection of fuels such as biogas, natural gas, propane, methanol, hydrogen...
The relations between trafïîc and transportation not only concern the general situation of socioeconomic development, but are also closely related to people's production and life. The 13th Five-year Plan Period is a decisive phase of comprehensively constructing a moderately prosperous society. Meanwhile, it is also an important period for comprehensively deepening traffic & transportation reform...
With strong wind predicting and warning system setup, train dispatch system structure will change, and will bring change of work process and reliability of the whole system. In order to build a high reliable railway dispatch system, the paper analyzes three railway dispatch system structures and their fuzzy reliability. The first dispatch system with no wind warning system, the second and the third...
Ridesharing is a natural option for increasing the efficiency and availability of transportation, and many factors need to align for ridesharing to successfully meet user needs in the marketplace. This paper explains how some of these issues have been addressed in the creation of GrabShare, a realtime ridesharing service available in an increasing number of Southeast Asian cities including Singapore,...
With the establishment of the Emission Control Areas(ECAs), and the One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative, container transport will be rapid development in the future of China. Meanwhile, the air pollution problem is increasingly serious, container terminal operator and shipping operator both seeks to reduce ship emissions for sailing period in shipping and mooring period in berth. The utilization ratio...
The arrival times of buses are often hard to predict due to variation of real time traffic conditions, deployment schedules and traffic incidents. The provision of timely arrival time information is thus vital for passengers to minimize their waiting time and improve riders' confidence in the public transportation system, directly promoting more ridership. Multiple buses are commonly observed to arrive...
In Japan, public transport such as bus services play an essential role in providing the growing aging population with mobility. However, both public and private Japanese bus services are in a precarious position with many of them running at a deficit due to the existence of convenient alternative means such as private cars. Therefore, this research proposes a new model to predict bus user demand based...
Accidents and other emergencies are the direct cause of the impact on Urban Rail Transit operational safety and reliability. The Operation Control Center (OCC) is the first-line command organization for the operation and management of urban rail transit. How to deal with the characteristics of unexpected events in urban rail transit quickly and accurately according to the emergency plan prepared in...
Increased number of container shipping nowadays, brings new challenges for container terminal to improve their operational performance. In addition with the increase of competition between ports, optimal and integrated planning will help terminal to face those challenges. This research studies about optimizing an integrated planning of the container terminal in Indonesia, using a bi-objective optimization...
With the gradual development and improvement of the comprehensive passenger terminal, there are many problems in the marking line of the integrated passenger terminal, which leads to the phenomenon that the passengers in the integrated passenger transport hub can not find the direction or mark confusion. At present, the lack of relevant standards for the marking line of integrated passenger terminal...
With the high-speed railway put into operation, the types of trains in the existed line is reduced, train intervals will also be shortened. We analyze the impact of high-speed rail's operations on the basis of the calculation method of the interval passing capacity in existed line, for example in three major areas : the difference of train running time in the section, the proportion of trains dispatched...
This paper presents Mobility-On-Demand (MoD) scenarios relying on lightweight autonomous and connected vehicles to ease commuting in large pedestrian areas and intermodal hubs. In particular, we discuss the case of the EPFL campus as an example of a large pedestrian area and the case of the main Zurich train station as an example of a large intermodal hub. These two scenarios help to investigate the...
The passenger flow data of urban rail transit (URT) network has the characteristics of large scale, fast-update, multi-mode, difficult to identify and great value, the same as Big Data. It is meaningful and effective to use big data visualization in passenger flow analysis. In this paper, with high visualization frameworks, the massive data of passenger flow in Shanghai Metro network is highly graphical...
