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...
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...
Former research of transport reliability focuses on road network, few of which refer to the intersection traffic reliability in microcosmic level. The paper proposes the conception of traffic reliability based on which the supply-demand reciprocity is analyzed, and brings forward the methodology that the disabled condition should be differentiated according to distinct system functions. Aiming at...
As urban road intersections are prone to traffic congestion and traffic accidents, monitoring the crossing of vehicles and predicting the state is needed to reduce traffic congestion, regulate driver behavior and prevent accidents. Background subtraction and mean shift tracking are used to track vehicles. The whole monitoring process is as following. Firstly, secondary selected strategy is used to...
A new method integrating reduced model and mixed design variables is proposed and applied in the lightweight design of a bus skeleton for the purpose of mass reduction without loss in structural performance. A whole skeleton model and a reduced model are built. All parts except chassis and floor assembly are reduced out using static reduction method. Reduced model is verified with finite element analysis...
Focusing on the problem that the detection accuracy of traffic detection system is sensitive to the changes of complex environments, this paper presents an improved method of vehicle detection. It builds and updates the background adaptively. Additionally, to improve the computation efficiency of shadow elimination, a fast algorithm of neighbor mean based on HSV model is proposed. As the occlusion...
When driving at night, it is difficult to detect obstacles such as pedestrian and wild animals on the opposite lane which is out of sight. Adaptive front lighting system (AFS) can be used to avoid accidents with obstacles that are difficult to detect with a conventional lighting system. The basic concept of AFS is to collect the information such as vehicle speed, yaw rate, steering angle, suspension...
Recent progress in grid computing concept and its allied application technologies has helped us to device an efficient tool for heavy workload management. Concept of this middleware technology supports to build more and more complex application which can process large real time data set. Mobilization of under utilized resources among the needy processes can easily be carried out with distributed grid...
Accompanied by the continuous progression of the maturity of car-to-x communication protocols and corresponding system architectures, the need for integrated network simulation approaches which consider realistic channel modeling on the one hand and appropriate mobility models on the other hand becomes more and more observable. Moreover, in order to analyze the impacts of car-to-x applications on...
Modeling of the deformational force and absorbed energy plays a very important role in different fields of vehicle engineering. The usually applied FEM based methods give good approximations, but they have extremely large computational complexity. On the other hand there exist simple force models, but they not approximate well in details the real data. The aim of this paper is to introduce a force...
Considering the dynamic error of platform inertial navigation system (INS) caused by vehicle mobile movement, output information of underwater vehicle and input information of INS are deeply analyzed. This paper gives the transform relationship among geographical reference frame, fixed and reference frame which are used to describe movement of underwater vehicle. Then, logical join between vehicle...
