This study investigates the impact of truck traffic on passenger vehicles in an urban network. Utilizing the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD), a methodology to calculate the travel time spent by passenger vehicles has been developed. To address this issue, an optimal control problem was formulated and solved using a Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach. The MPC framework has been applied in a centralized manner, to manage accumulation for various modes. To explore different traffic management strategies, the centralized MPC technique was implemented in two distinct configurations: region-based and vehicle-based approaches. It has been tested for various vehicle mixes and multiple control scenarios to assess the effectiveness in reducing passenger travel time spent and vehicle accumulation. The results demonstrate that the vehicle-based MPC approach tends to minimize the number of vehicles more effectively compared to the region-based approach. However, in terms of reducing passenger travel time, the region-based approach outperforms the vehicle-based strategy. This is attributed to enhanced coordination among traffic flow controllers, highlighting the importance of strategic controller interactions in urban traffic management systems. This research enhances both the theoretical framework for optimizing traffic flow and provides valuable practical insights for city planners and engineers aiming to deploy advanced traffic management strategies. Future studies could explore the scalability of these control systems and their capability to integrate real-time traffic data.

In this paper, we aim to address a relevant estimation problem that aviation professionals encounter in their daily operations. Specifically, aircraft load planners require information on the expected number of checked bags for a flight several hours prior to its scheduled departure to properly palletize and load the aircraft. However, the checked baggage prediction problem has not been sufficiently studied in the literature, particularly at the flight level. Existing prediction approaches have not properly accounted for the different impacts of overestimating and underestimating checked baggage volumes on airline operations. Therefore, we propose a custom loss function, in the form of a piecewise quadratic function, which aligns with airline operations practice and utilizes machine learning algorithms to optimize checked baggage predictions incorporating the new loss function. We consider multiple linear regression, LightGBM, and XGBoost, as supervised learning algorithms. We apply our proposed methods to baggage data from a major airline and additional data from various U.S. government agencies. We compare the performance of the three customized supervised learning algorithms. We find that the two gradient boosting methods (i.e., LightGBM and XGBoost) yield higher accuracy than the multiple linear regression; XGBoost outperforms LightGBM while LightGBM requires much less training time than XGBoost. We also investigate the performance of XGBoost on samples from different categories and provide insights for selecting an appropriate prediction algorithm to improve baggage prediction practices. Our modeling framework can be adapted to address other prediction challenges in aviation, such as predicting the number of standby passengers or no-shows.

This research aims to quantify the interfacial interaction mechanism between the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) spent catalyst and asphalt. The two types of spent-catalysts, three types of mineral powders, and their bituminous slurries are selected to complete the tests of Microscopic morphological, specific surface area, surface energy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), specific adhesion work, and interaction parameter C-value for FCC-spent-catalysts in laboratory. The results indicate that: (1), the physical properties of FCC-spent-catalyst compared with mineral powder when the particle size ranging from −2.2 ~ 5.4 μm between FCC-spent-catalysts and mineral powder, the specific surface area of FCC-spent-catalyst was 100 to 900 fold that of mineral powder, while the alkali value of FCC-spent-catalysts was 2 to 8 fold that of mineral powder; no significant difference was observed in surface energy; (2), the mixture system did not produce new functional groups after FCC-spent-catalyst addition to the asphalt mixture system; (3), the adhesion work of FCC-spent-catalyst was close to that of mineral powder, the specific adhesion work was 74 to 763 fold that of mineral powder when they have the similar particle size; (4), the interaction parameter C-value between FCC-spent-catalyst and asphalt was higher than the interaction between mineral powder and asphalt at identical test temperatures. This study demonstrates that the FCC-spent-catalyst have the potential to improve the in-service performance of the pavement under high-temperature and moisture damage in terms of a larger specific surface area and stronger.

The rapid development of civil aviation over the past decades has not only led to an increasing competition among airlines, but also the rise of irregularities, with challenges concerning the improvement of regulations and schedules under the maximization of profitability. Consequently, the airline scheduling optimization problem has received significant research interest as the foundation for an efficient deployment of airline resources and meeting market demand under complex operational requirements. In this paper, we dissect fundamental airline scheduling problems by reviewing thirteen representative mathematical models for schedule design, fleet assignment, aircraft routing, crew scheduling subproblems and their potential for integration. In contrast to existing review studies on airline scheduling problems, our main contribution lies in the introduction of state-of-the-art mathematical models with a specific focus on integration and robustness. In addition, we highlight a set of promising, yet challenging directions for future research in this domain.

The application of plant fibers in subgrade engineering is increasingly receiving attention. As a sustainable material, plant fibers possess characteristics such as lightweight, renewability, and biodegradability. The morphology, chemical composition, mechanical properties and hydraulic properties of plant fibers determine their application scenarios in subgrade engineering. Degradation is also an important factor affecting the long-term performance of plant fibers. In order to overcome their limitations in subgrade engineering, physical and chemical modification has become necessary. Through physical or chemical modification, the compatibility between plant fibers and the matrix can be enhanced, improving dispersibility and adhesiveness. Plant fibers can be applied in subgrade engineering through methods such as soil improvement, incorporation into geosynthetic materials, and the use of prefabricated components. Among these, soil improvement with plant fiber can enhance soil crack resistance and stability, adding fibers to geosynthetic materials can strengthen the mechanical properties of the soil, and prefabricated components can effectively reinforce slopes. This article reviews the current application status of plant fibers in subgrade engineering. In comparison to other soil stabilization materials, plant fibers offer clear economic and environmental advantages. Nevertheless, they come with two drawbacks, namely restricted mechanical properties and excessive water absorption. Challenges such as technical standards, fiber dispersibility, and durability still exist in their application. In the future, the application of plant fibers in subgrade engineering will continue to expand. Through technological innovation and standard development, it will provide environmentally friendly and efficient solutions for sustainable subgrade construction.

The presence of discontinuities in rocks can significantly compromise the performance of the rocks in terms of strength and stiffness, thereby threatening the reliability and safety of engineering structures built in or on the rocks, for example, tunnels, and slopes. In this paper, a comprehensive set of experimental tests, including Brazilian disc tests and uniaxial compression tests, were performed for two distinct rocks including granite and sandstone with seven patterns of opening holes, in addition to intact rock specimens. To investigate the micro-cracks initiation and propagation, a hybrid continuum-discrete element method incorporating a cohesive fracture model was adopted to simulate the laboratory testing. The stress–strain relations, micro-cracks initiation and propagation, Young’s modulus, compressive strength, tensile strength and micro-cracks rate and orientation were discussed. The results showed that the presence of the holes could significantly influence the tensile strength, and compressive strength. However, its influence on the Young’s modulus was found to be relatively insignificant.

Employing emerging information and communication technologies such as building information modeling (BIM) to streamline engineering design and analysis has been mainstream over the past several years. Although BIM models are well established for above-ground infrastructures, underground BIM is still in its infancy. On one hand, valuable subsurface ground models are missing in current BIM applications as site-specific geotechnical data are often sparse and limited. On the other hand, BIM has been mainly used as a visualization tool for concise representation of design and construction data, and it has not been integrated and utilized to assess geotechnical risks associated with underground infrastructures. This paper proposes a BIM-based approach for automatic numerical modelling and geotechnical analysis. Structural information (e.g. geometries) of different project BIMs are grouped, exported, and saved, which provides a unified interface for automatic information extraction using computer codes (e.g. Python). Subsequently, subsurface ground models generated from sparse data are integrated with extracted basic geometric properties for automatic geotechnical model set-up and finite element analysis. The performance of the proposed framework is illustrated using a real deep excavation project. It is revealed that BIM, as a data repository, enables timely and accurate information exchange between structural and geotechnical models in an automatic manner, which emphasizes the need of a BIM-based approach for assessing and managing geotechnical risks associated with deep excavations for underground transportation infrastructures, especially in the urban context.

The monitoring of urban rail transit vibration and structural-borne noise can well solve the problem of small amount of data and large discreteness in traditional evaluation tests. In this study, a monitoring system is utilized to collect and preprocess vibration and noise signals. By employing cellular network and cloud-based services, real-time acquisition and analysis of vibration and noise signals are achieved. In this paper, it is proposed to normalize the vibration data obtained after edge computing. After treatment, the gray correlation analysis method was used the correlation between each vibration data component and vibration data classification. Combining frequency domain analysis of vibration data, the data components with high correlation are used as inputs to an improved K-nearest neighbors (KNN) model. Additionally, the correlation of each data component is introduced into the distance calculation formula. The improved KNN model shows improvements in recall rate, precision rate, F-measure, and accuracy compared to the original KNN model, with increases of 0.76%, 2.76%, 1.81%, and 1.61% respectively. Through practical measurements, it is found that different vehicles cause significant variations in vibration, with differences of up to 11 dB in tunnel wall vibration. The differences in tunnel wall vibration caused by the same vehicle at different passenger loads do not exceed 5 dB. Combining practical application cases, the rail transit environmental noise monitoring system established in this study demonstrates its applicability in monitoring vibration and noise-sensitive areas, as well as analyzing the effectiveness of vibration reduction and noise control measures.

The detection and color recognition of traffic lights should be the foundation for the capture of illegal driving practices. However, it may be difficult to recognize lights with different colors in intricate and unpredictable surroundings. This study implements a traffic light detection and recognition scheme that can be used for intelligent traffic. First, the images obtained from the speed camera should be pre-segmented. Then the traffic lights with colors are detected by the YOLOv5 model trained based on the image-enhancement dataset. Next, the candidate boxes of traffic lights are edge detected and clipped out of multiple lamp panels in missing video frames. Finally, the color of the candidate boxes will be determined by the lamp panel with the greatest number of bright pixels. This finding shows that the fusion-based approach performs better than a single-based algorithm for identification and color recognition of traffic lights under varying illumination and weather circumstances.

This study implements a traffic light detection and recognition scheme that can be used for intelligent traffic. First, the images obtained from the speed camera should be pre-segmented. Then the traffic lights with colors are detected by the YOLOv5 model trained based on the image-enhancement dataset. Next, the candidate boxes of traffic lights are edge detected and clipped out of multiple lamp panels in missing video frames. Finally, the color of the candidate boxes will be determined by the lamp panel with the greatest number of bright pixels. This finding shows that the fusion-based approach performs better than a single-based algorithm for identification and color recognition of traffic lights under varying illumination and weather circumstances.","PeriodicalId":191628,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Transportation Infrastructure","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121473241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
