Real-time path planning is one of emergent approaches which efficiently reduce traffic jam in urban scenarios. Designing an efficient path planning strategy to achieve optimal vehicle-traffic flow control still remains a challenging problem, especially when we take human's uncooperative and uncoordinated selfish behaviors into consideration. In this paper, we first introduce an intelligent transportation...
Vehicular networks (VANETs) can be used to improve transportation security, reliability, and management. This paper investigates security aspects of VANETs within a game-theoretic framework where defensive measures are optimized with respect to threats posed by malicious attackers. The formulations are chosen to be abstract on purpose in order to maximize applicability of the models and solutions...
Accidents between battery-operated vehicles and pedestrians are expected to increase as electric vehicles (EV) or plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHV) are widely used in near future because of small ambient noise of EV/PHV. To prevent such accidents, a portable alert system for pedestrians to detect approaching vehicle is proposed in this paper. The alert system exploits ultra-wideband impulse radio (UWB-IR)...
The heterogeneous fleet vehicle routing problem with time windows is a variant of the classical vehicle routing problem. This paper defines a mathematical model of this problem and proposes a variable neighborhood tabu search algorithm to solve it. The initial solution is obtained by GENIUS and the giant tour algorithm. Our algorithm employs a variable neighborhood mechanism to search the optimal...
An extended car-following model is proposed by incorporating the anticipative information by vehicle to vehicle. The stability condition of the proposed model is obtained by using the linear stability theory. The results show that the anticipative information can promote the stability of traffic flow. Numerical simulations are carried out, and the results are consonant with the theory ones.
The safety of navigation of ro-ro passenger ships has been perplexing the shipping circles, while the problem of vehicle safe stowing and securing is an important factor that affects the safe transportation of ro-ro passenger ships. Some specifications are put forward in home and abroad on the research of safe stowing and securing of vehicle on board ro-ro passenger ships. However, it is lacking in...
Along with the economic development, cities are increasingly congested in China. In order to eliminate peak-hour congestion, many cities establish priority lanes such as bus lanes and Olympic lanes. Although priority lanes could help Local Authorities gain its short-term management objectives, at the same time, it would greatly infringe on the legitimate rights of other vehicles and waste the scarce...
In order to eliminate accident, reduce congestion and improve the efficiency of the traffic circle, three effective and feasible methods are proposed.As an example,the traffic circle flow of the circle in Xiamen China is simulated by these methods above using VISSIM soft.The results of simulation show that three methods applied to different traffic flow each,then we did further simulations to the...
To develop a quick detection algorithm for the image-based autonomous vehicle (AV) or computer assisted driving system, this paper proposes a real-time object detection method using two coordinated cameras. The mapping between two simultaneous images from the two cameras and coordination of the virtual sensitive areas can be resolved using parameters like the camera shot angle, the camera focal length,...
According to biological immune danger theory, a condition monitoring algorithm based on immune danger theory was presented. In the algorithm, the whole diagnosis feature space is divided into danger feature space, normal feature space and abnormal feature space. The algorithm consists of primary testing module, APC testing module and self-adapting testing module. The algorithm can make judgment according...
This paper presents a cost-effective approach to design an embedded autopilot system for a 4-rotor aerial vehicle. The system is targeted for autonomous control research, and it consists of an onboard system and a ground station. The onboard system interfaces with the vehicle and provides data link for sensor measurements and control data. The ground station provides a user-friendly interface for...
Traditional algorithms of VRP often did not consider the loading rate of vehicle, which will partially effects the fuel consumption of the vehicle. So if considering the fuel consumption, there needs a new algorithm to find the optional route of VRP with lowest fuel consumption. Then the genetic algorithm of the model was designed and solved. The simulation result showed that the algorithm is a good...
In this paper, we proposed a new car following model based on the Full Velocity Difference (FVD) model, with the acceleration of the front car considered. Compared with the FVD model, the improved model can simulate the motions of cars starting from a traffic signal more nature. Numerical simulation results show that the stability of the improved model is better than the FVD model, with appropriate...
Electronic institutions (EIs) have been proposed as a means of regulating open agent societies. EIs fix what agents are permitted and forbidden to do and under what circumstances. And yet, there is the need for EIs to change their regulations because of the changing environment. In this paper we focus on a formal model for the dynamic EIs and give formal semantics for the changes of the EIs.
Chongqing Chaotianmen Yangtze River Bridge with the main span of 552m is an urban bridge of double deck bridges for highway and rail, which need to verify fatigue security performance of the node on bottom chord . Through the calculation of the full bridge's space finite element, the node for study is determined as the M29 and calculate and calculate the internal force influence line of M29. Load...
It is a timeless and actual problem to develop vehicle's active safety. In case of commercial vehicle category more sophisticated difficulties could be found. Increased mass and inertia are the fundamental differences between a usual passenger car and a truck. At the same time, the low series number requests cheap solutions. The aim is in this way to ensure low cost solutions to control increased...
The initial real-time information system for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is based on Global Positioning System (GPS) in Ji'nan, it can't provide accurate real-time information of buses arrival/departure at stop, and missing data of GPS is often found, especially under elevated highway or in bad weather. The papers put forward a new way to provide real-time transit information for BRT based on GPS/Signpost...
Logistics management is concerned with the planning, implementation and control of the movement of physical objects and the associated information. This associated information is the domain of logistics management information system (MIS). In recent years, the ability to realize the profit and strategic potential of efficient and effective logistics of garment commodity has increasingly depended on...
A serious highway accident with long duration will lead to a great delay. If the extended travel time is beyond travelers' tolerance, they will make a detour by choosing any other roads. However, the driver's behavior of taking other routes will make an impact on the surrounding road network. Thus that impact is called the indirect impact by highway traffic accidents in road network. The range of...
Since 2003, the Chinese government has taken a series of targeted policies and measures to suppress road accidents. In recent years, in the case of the rapid economic development, rapidly growing motor vehicle amount, and changes greatly in road safety environment, China successfully achieved the objectives that road accidents from the peak to be suppressed, until to the decline year-by-year. The...
