631-642页查看更多>>摘要:This paper aimed to investigate the correlation between carbon emissions,fuel con-sumption,and speed limit.A theoretical model was derived based on the energy conser-vation law,which expresses the relationship between vehicle's fuel consumption and speed.Subsequently,a total of 40 sets of fuel consumption data were collected through field tests to verify the accuracy of the theoretical model at different speeds and different road longitudinal slope combinations.The fuel consumption was then converted to carbon emissions according to the carbon emission factors specified by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC).In the field experiment,two types of cars and trucks,which are most common on the expressways in China,were selected.Finally,the travel speed under different posted speed limits was obtained through the previously established model,and the carbon emission changes of different vehicle types at different limited speeds are calculated.The results show that the speed limit has a significant impact on fuel con-sumption and carbon emissions.When the speed limit increased from 80 to 120 km/h,average vehicle speeds increased about 21%-27%,and fuel consumption and carbon emissions increased from approximately 33%-38%.Another interesting result was that the vehicle's fuel consumption and carbon emissions are only affected by speed.The results of the study explore the effect of speed limits on carbon emissions and provide evidence for road managers to set reasonable speed limits.

667-680页查看更多>>摘要:In recent years,e-scooters have been introduced in many European cities.In several places we have witnessed a rapid uptake of this new mode of transport mainly as a result of public sharing schemes.A number of incidents,injuries and even fatalities have given rise to questions regarding the safety of these vehicles.These questions are being researched mainly using official crash data and data specifying injuries and hospital treatment.Until now,the research has focused on investigating typical injury patterns and estimating risk levels.Very little is known about exactly where conflicts and crashes occur.Knowledge of hazard hotspots is crucial when investigating risk levels and improving safety for all road users.Hence,this paper develops an approach to investigating locations with potentially dangerous interactions within the active mobility system in the city of Berlin.The approach consists of explorative expert interviews,an online poll,and quantitative ana-lyses.For the latter we combine three datasets.First,we research crash hotspots using official data.Second,we use data based on acceleration sensors from cyclists'smartphones to find locations of sudden movements.Third,we use trip data from the operators of e-scooter sharing systems.The information gathered is used in a conclusive expert work-shop to identify hazard hotspots.Results show that many of the conflicts with pedestrians are caused by parked e-scooters.Second,e-scooter trips are concentrated in the inner city and along specific routes.In moving traffic,various data sources are used to identify hotspots at intersections and in areas between intersections.The present research lays the foundation for important further studies to investigate interactions at hotspots in detail by determining nine specific locations in the city of Berlin.

721-732页查看更多>>摘要:This study proposes an approach of leveraging information gathered from multiple traffic data sources at different resolutions to obtain approximate inference on the traffic distribution of Chicago's O'Hare Airport area.Specifically,it proposes the inges-tion of traffic datasets at different resolutions to build spatiotemporal models for pre-dicting the distribution of traffic volume on the road network.Due to its good adaptability and flexibility for spatiotemporal data,the Gaussian process(GP)regression was employed to provide short-term forecasts using data collected by loop detectors(sensors)and supplemented by telematics data.The GP regression is used to make predictions of the distribution of the proportion of sensor data traffic volume repre-sented by the telematics data for each location of the sensors.Consequently,the fitted GP model can be used to determine the approximate traffic distribution for a testing location outside of the training points.Policymakers in the transportation sector can find the results of this work helpful for making informed decisions relating to current and future transportation conditions in the area.

733-746页查看更多>>摘要:Fluid flow throttling is common in industrial and building services engineering.Similar tunnel throttling of vehicular flow is caused by the abrupt number reduction of roadway lane,as the tunnel has a lower lane number than in the roadway normal segment.To predict the effects of tunnel throttling of annular freeway vehicular flow,a three-lane continuum model is developed.Lane Ⅲ of the tunnel is completely blocked due to the need of tunnel rehabilitation,etc.There exists mandatory net lane-changing rate from lane Ⅲ to lane Ⅱ just upstream of the tunnel entrance,which is described by a model of random number generated through a golden section analysis.The net-changing rate between adjacent lanes is modeled using a lane-changing time expressed explicitly in algebraic form.This paper assumes that the annular freeway has a total length of 100 km,a two-lane tunnel of length 2 km with a speed limit of 80 km/h.The free flow speeds on lanes I,Ⅱ andⅢ are assumed to be 110,100 and 90 km/h respectively.Based on the three-lane continuum model,numerical simulations of vehicular flows on the annular freeway with such a tunnel are conducted with a reliable numerical method of 3rd-order accuracy.Numerical results reveal that the vehicular flow has a smaller threshold of traffic jam formation in comparison with the case without tunnel throttling.Vehicle fuel consumption can be estimated by interpolation with time averaged grid traffic speed and an assumed curve of vehicle performance.The vehicle fuel consumption is lane number dependent,distributes with initial density concavely,ranging from 5.56 to 8.00 L.Tunnel throttling leads to an earlier traffic jam formation in comparison with the case without tunnel throttling.

747-760页查看更多>>摘要:Well maintained cycleways will encourage more people to cycle,as the condition of cycleways is important for the safety,accessibility and riding comfort of cyclists.Despite that,only a few models used to describe the quality of service for cyclists take the surface condition into account.Objective measuring methods are needed to enable reliable and effective assessment of surface conditions,and measurable performance criteria related to the needs of cyclists should be developed.The purpose of this study has been to test the reliability and validity of using accelerometers in smartphones to assess the riding comfort on cycleways.A smartphone application converting three-dimensional accelerometer measurements into a single indicator for cycleways has been used to assess road surfaces in two field studies,in Sweden and Norway,respectively.Both studies assessed test sec-tions of varying quality.To relate the measurements to subjective riding comfort assess-ments by cyclists,recruited cyclists collected quantitative data using the app,whilst also rating their perceived riding comfort by completing a survey.Measurements were also related to standard road surface condition indicators,generated from a road surface tester equipped with 19 laser sensors:international roughness index(IRI),mega-and macro-texture.The results show that it is possible to describe the unevenness of a cycleway using the technology present in smartphones.A software application can be used to collect and analyse data from the acceleration sensors in the phone,which can then be used to describe the riding comfort of cyclists.It is mainly the unevenness in the 50-1000 mm size-range that create the greatest discomfort for cyclists,and intermittent vibrations are perceived as more uncomfortable than more evenly distributed vibrations.Therefore,IRI is not a relevant measurement for describing the riding comfort of cyclists.
