The coefficients of retroreflection and chromaticity coordinates are critical metrics for determining the quality of a retroreflector. However, conventional retroreflection measurement techniques rely heavily on the night-time colour, size, and characteristics of the sample being measured. This complicates the measurement process and leads to deviations in the test results. In addition, chromaticity cannot be determined using this approach. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the measurement accuracy, simplify the measurement process, and achieve the measurement of the traffic sign RA and chromaticity coordinates simultaneously. In this study, an improved method for retroreflector characterisation using imaging was proposed. This allowed for the measurement of the coefficients of retroreflection and the chromaticity coordinates simultaneously, and only a white standard sample was required for calibration. The primary components of the proposed system included a lighting projector, a receiver, two motorised rotational stages, a retroreflective sample holder, and customised software that used scaling factors to convert a digital signal into sample retroreflection coefficients and retroreflective chromaticity coordinates. The experimental results indicated that the raw data output from the camera exhibited a positive correlation relationship with the luminous flux from the surface of the retroreflector. The maximum measurement errors for the retroreflection and chromaticity were −12.2 cd/(lx·m2) and −2.09%, respectively. This method was inexpensive and convenient, used a commercially available digital camera, could help to identify defects in retroreflection and chromaticity for retroreflective sheeting, and led to increased accessibility for the quality control of retroreflective sheeting.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are widely used in the field of fault diagnosis due to their strong feature-extraction capability. However, in each timestep, CNNs only consider the current input and ignores any cyclicity in time, therefore finding difficulties in mining temporal features from the data. In this work, the third-generation neural network—spiking neural network (SNN)—is utilized in bearing fault diagnosis. SNNs incorporate temporal concepts and utilize discrete spike sequences in communication, making it more biologically explanatory. Inspired by the classic CNN LeNet-5 framework, a bearing fault diagnosis method based on a convolutional SNN is proposed. In this method, the spiking convolutional network and the spiking classifier network are constructed by using the IF and LIF model, respectively, and end-to-end training is conducted on the overall model using a surrogate gradient method. The signals are adaptively encoded into spikes in the spiking neuron layer. In addition, the network utilizes max-pooling, which is consistent with the spatial–temporal characteristics of SNNs. Combined with the spiking convolutional layers, the network fully extracts the spatial–temporal features from the bearing vibration signals. Experimental validations and comparisons are conducted on bearings. The results show that the proposed method achieves high accuracy and takes fewer time steps.

This study investigates the airborne transmission of virus-laden droplets generated by a cough of patients in an aircraft cabin to reveal the infection risk of taking an airplane. The influence of the ventilation system on flow field of the cabin was analyzed to reveal its effects on the airborne transmission of virus-laden droplets. Meanwhile, human body heat was also considered in the simulations. The results show that hot plume due to human body heat has significant impact on the upward movement of virus-laden droplets. The virus-laden droplets expelled by a cough can be transmitted to the region with two to three rows away from the generator. Particularly, the transverse motion present in the early stage of the droplet transmission results in a high infection risk to the passengers in the same row with the patient. This work gives insight into the understanding of the airborne transmission of virus-laden droplets in the entire passenger cabin.

Freeway on-ramps suffer high crash risks due to frequent merging behaviors. This study developed hazard-based duration models to investigate the merging time interval on freeway on-ramps based on microscopic trajectory data. Fixed effect, random effect, and random parameters Weibull distributed accelerated failure time models were developed to capture merging time as a function of various dynamic variables. The random parameters model was found to outperform the two counterparts since the unobserved heterogeneity of individual drivers were captured. Modeling estimation results indicate that drivers along the merging section with an auxiliary lane perform a smooth merging process and are easily affected by speed variables. Dynamics of leading and following vehicles on the merging and target lanes are found to influence the merging time interval for merging without an auxiliary lane, whereas the influence of surrounding vehicles is marginal for those with an auxiliary lane. The findings of this study identify potential countermeasures for improving safety during the merging process.

Transportation sector is the most significant contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Particularly, maritime transportation, which is predominantly powered by fossil-fuel engines, accounts for more than 90% of world freight movement and emits 3% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. China is the world's largest emitter of CO2 and plays a key role in mitigating global climate change. In order to tackle this pressing concern, this study analyzes the port's throughput, the current number of trucks, and their emissions during the container truck purchasing process. While the previous studies about container truck purchasing plans mostly focused on the trucks' price and port needs. The objective of this study is to minimize the total cost of a port's inland transportation using optimization technique such as the interval uncertainty planning model to convert container truck emissions into social costs. This study considers the port of Yangtze as a case study. This study has designed two scenarios. (i) The base scenario (business-as-usual (BAU)) is used to quantify the relationship between pollutant emissions and system cost. In the base scenario, no environmental control facilities are used during the planning period, and there is no need to purchase new energy container trucks (ii) Expected scenario, referred to as (scenario A), for three planning periods. In scenario A, the emissions levels are required to remain at the same level as the first planning period during the whole planning period. By solving the above model, the number of all truck types, system cost, container throughput, and truck emissions in the port area were analyzed. The results showed that if no emission reduction control measures are implemented in the next 9 years, the growth rate of pollutants in the port area can be exceeded up to 20%. In addition, The findings showed clearly that truck emissions are reduced by purchasing new energy trucks and restricting the number of fossil-fuel (diesel) trucks. This study could also help to minimize system costs associated with port planning and management.

Track utilization is the most important technical operation in high-speed railway stations. It's an effective way to take flexible management based on dispatchers’ decision preferences into consideration for making track utilization plans to relieve the influence caused by unmeasurable unstructured factors. Thus, based on flexible management concept and taken the flexible optimal for track utilization in high-speed railway stations as the object, time and space occupation safety trajectories of arrival routes, departure routes and tracks are all analyzed. Then, taking following constraints into consideration, i.e. minimum safety time intervals for various routes and tracks occupation, space-time arc occupation and decision-makers’ preferences, a flexible optimal model for track utilization in high-speed railway stations are established to maximize its balance and robustness and to minimize its volatility at the same time. Further, a flexible optimal solution based on a simulated annealing algorithm is designed to make a safety track utilization plan in high-speed railway stations integrating the dispatchers’ decision preference. The results gained from given experiments show that the proposed methodology can effectively make satisfied safety track utilization plans based on decision-makers’ preferences, which can improve its balance and robustness level significantly. Meanwhile, its volatility can be reduced as much as possible caused by flexible management based on artificial intervention to ensure the relative stability of the plan.

In the complex urban road traffic network, a sudden accident leads to rapid congestion in the nearby traffic region, which even makes the local traffic network capacity quickly reduced. Therefore, an efficient monitoring system for abnormal conditions of urban road network plays a crucial role in the tolerance of urban road network. The traditional traffic monitoring system not only costs a lot in construction and maintenance, but also may not cover the road network comprehensively, which could not meet the basic needs of traffic management. Only a more comprehensive and intelligent monitoring method is able to identify traffic anomalies more effectively and quickly so that it provide more effective support for traffic management decisions. The extensive use of positioning equipment makes us to obtain accurate trajectory data. This paper presents a traffic anomaly monitoring and prediction method based on vehicle trajectory data. This model uses deep learning to detect abnormal trajectory on the traffic road network. The method effectively analyzes the abnormal source and potential anomaly to judge the abnormal region, which provides an important reference for the traffic department to take effective traffic control measures. Finally, the paper uses Internet vehicle trajectory data of Chengdu to test and gets an accurate result.

With increase of train speed, braking plate technology has a good application prospect in the high-speed stage of the train. Based on the 1/8th scaled symmetrical train model composed by two half cars, Reynolds Average Navier-stokes (RANS) equations and Shear Stress Transfer (SST) k-ω turbulence model are adopted to simulate the aerodynamic performance of the train with plate, aerodynamic drag dependence of the single parameter of the plate (shape, area, angle, position and number) is analyzed, and the identification research of the main aerodynamic parameters of plate is also carried out. The numerical settings used in this paper is verified by wind tunnel test data. Results show that the braking plate with aspect ratio of 1 has better performance on aerodynamic drag. The area, opening angle and number of plates are basically positively correlated with the total aerodynamic drag of the target car and plate. Arranging plates at the downstream of the vehicle is a good method of raising total aerodynamic drag. Within the range of plate parameter design in this paper, by using orthogonal design of experiment and method of range analysis and analysis of variance, the influence degrees of plate parameters on aerodynamic drag are determined, and the order is number, area and opening angle of plate. The research results provide theoretical support for the design and safe operation of high-speed train with aerodynamic braking plate.
