Left Turn Across Path with Opposite Direction (LTAP/OD) conflicts are one of the most common crash types at intersections. The research aims to reveal the general and dynamic information about the conflict for the most relevant street layouts for each conflict configuration of the LTAP/OD accidents involving passenger cars, motorcycles and Ebikes. The analysis was based on 276 LTAP/OD accidents collected by China In-Depth Accident Study (CIDAS 2011–2019). The LTAP/OD accidents include 44 car-to-car conflicts, 157 car-to-motorcycle conflicts and 75 car-to-Ebike conflicts. Most of accidents belonging to three types were observed at the W0 street layout without green belt separating the oncoming lane and no offset lane between the turning car and the oncoming traffic, the main distance between both vehicles in the beginning of the critical situation being about four meters, occurring in the clear day with no rain and at junctions lighted either because of daylight or based on street lighting. In terms of the turning car initial speed, the range is between 15-30 km/h for most car-to-car and car-to-motorcycle accidents but 30-40 km/h for most car-to-Ebike accidents. As for the collision speed, this range is between 10 and 20 km/h for car-to-car and car-to-Ebike accidents and between 10 and 25 km/h for car-to-motorcycle crashes. Based on the distributions of objective motorcycles’ and Ebike's positions in collisions with passenger cars, the maximum longitudinal distance is 60 m for both two types of accidents and the maximum lateral distance ranges from -20 m to 20 m and from -15 m to 15 m, respectively.

A novel switch diagnosis method based on self-attention and residual deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) is proposed. Because of the imbalanced dataset, the Kmeans synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) is applied to balancing the dataset at first. Then, the deep CNN is utilized to extract local features from long power curves, and the residual connection is performed to handle the performance degeneration. In the end, the Multi-heads Channel Self Attention focuses on those important local features. The ablation and comparison experiments are applied to verifying the effectiveness of the proposed methods. With the residual connection and Multi-heads Channel Self Attention, the proposed method has achieved an accuracy of 99.83% impressively.

This study is carried out to promote the precise supervision of dangerous goods transportation training, improve the efficiency of civil aviation supervision, and further ensure the safety of air transportation. First, from the perspective of behavior interaction and interest demands, evolutionary game theory is used to construct a tripartite evolutionary game model of dangerous goods transportation training institutions, the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), and the public. Then, the evolutionary game equilibrium of the system is further analyzed under the joint action of the three parties. Finally, the influences of important parameters of the model on the behavioral strategy selection of the three parties are investigated via MATLAB numerical simulation. The conclusions reveal that the system has three evolutionarily stable strategies under different parameters, namely (non-compliant training, supervision, non-participation in supervision), (non- compliant training, supervision, participation in supervision), and (compliant training, supervision, non-participation in supervision). Moreover, the CAAC supervision cost, the fine amount, the supervision cost of public participation, the supervision success rate, and the reporting reward amount are the main parameters that affect the behavioral strategy selection of the tripartite game players. The conclusions and suggestions of this study provide a decision-making basis and guidance for the supervision and management of civil aviation dangerous goods transportation training.

Considering the application of wind forecasting technology along the railway, it becomes an effective means to reduce the risk of train derailment and overturning. Accurate prediction of crosswinds can provide scientific guidance for safe train operation. To obtain more reliable wind speed prediction results, this study proposes an intelligent ensemble forecasting method for strong winds along the high-speed railway. The method consists of three parts, including data preprocessing module, hybrid prediction module, and reinforcement learning ensemble module. First, fast ensemble empirical model decomposition (FEEMD) is used to process the original wind speed data. Then, broyden-fletcher-goldfarb-shanno (BFGS), non-linear autoregressive network with exogenous inputs (NARX), and deep belief network (DBN), three benchmark predictors with different characteristics, are employed to build prediction models for all the sublayers of decomposition. Finally, Q-learning is utilized to iteratively calculate the combined weights of the three models, and the prediction results of each sublayer are superimposed to obtain the model output. The real wind speed data of two Railway stations in Xinjiang are used for experimental comparison. Experiments show that compared with the single benchmark model, the hybrid ensemble model has better accuracy and robustness for wind speed prediction along the railway. The 1-step forecasting results mean absolute error (MAE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and root mean square error (RMSE) of Q-learning-FEEMD-BFGS-NARX-DBN in site #1 and site #2 are 0.0894 m/s, 0.6509%, 0.1146 m/s, and 0.0458 m/s, 0.2709%, 0.0616 m/s. The proposed ensemble model is a promising method for railway wind speed prediction.

Environmental wind measurements are essential for ensuring the operational safety of rail vehicles. In our previous work, an anemometer that can be mounted on the top of a train to achieve real-time measurements of wind speed and direction was proposed based on the pressure distributions around the cylindrical anemometer. However, the flow field on the top of the train is significantly influenced by the train; thus, the measured data might differ from the actual environmental wind parameters, particularly when trains are subjected to windbreak walls. In this study, simulations considering flow fields around trains installed with the proposed anemometer were conducted, and an improved delayed detached eddy simulation approach was adopted. Through simulations, the flow field at the top of the train was analysed, and the aerodynamic characteristics of the anemometer were investigated. Accordingly, relationships between the measured wind characteristics and environmental wind characteristics are presented under various situations herein. Field experiments were performed for the proposed anemometer installed on a certain type of high-speed train along the Nanjiang Railway in China. The results obtained from both the numerical and experimental studies show that the proposed method has high accuracy for measuring environmental wind speed and direction when mounted on the top of a train.

In order to study the influence of square-cone energy-absorbing structures on the mechanical behavior of the collision performance of the leading vehicle, a parameterization method for rapidly changing the performance of energy-absorbing structures was proposed. Firstly, a finite element simulation model of the collision of the leading vehicle with a square-cone energy-absorbing structure was constructed. Then, the platform force, the slope of the platform force and the initial peak force of the force-displacement curve derived from the energy-absorbing structure were studied for the collision performance of the leading vehicle. Finally, the correlation model of the square cone energy-absorbing structure and the mechanical behavior of the collision performance of the leading vehicle was established by the response surface method. The results showed that the increase of the platform force of the energy-absorbing structure can effectively buffer the longitudinal impact of the train and reduce the nodding attitude of the train. The increase of the platform force slope can not only effectively buffer the longitudinal impact and vertical nodding of the train, but also reduce the lateral swing of the train. An increase in the initial peak force to a certain extent may lead to a change in the deformation mode, thereby reducing the energy absorption efficiency. The correlation model can guide the design of the square-cone energy-absorbing structure and predict the deformation attitude of the leading vehicle.

Aiming at the current problems of high failure rate and low diagnostic efficiency of Railway Point Machines (RPMs) in railway industry, a short-time method of fault diagnosis is proposed. Considering the effect of noise on power signals in the data acquisition process of railway Centralized Signaling Monitoring (CSM) System, this study utilizes wavelet threshold denoising to eliminate the interference of it. The consequences show that the accuracy of fault diagnosis can be improved by 4.4% after denoising the power signals. Then in order to attain lightweight and shorten running time of diagnosis model, Mallat wavelet decomposition and artificial immune algorithm are applied to RPMs fault diagnosis. Finally, voluminous experiments using veritable power signals collected from CSM are introduced, which manifest that combining these methods can procure higher precision of RPMs and curtail fault diagnosis time. It substantiates the validity and feasibility of the presented approach.

The robust guarantee of train control on-board equipment is inextricably linked to the safe functioning of a high-speed train. A fault diagnostic model of on-board equipment is built utilizing the integrated learning XGBoost (eXtreme Gradient Boosting) algorithm to help technicians assess the malfunction category of high-speed train control on-board equipment accurately and rapidly. XGBoost algorithm iterates multiple decision tree models to improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis by lifting the predicted residual and adding regular terms. To begin, the text features were extracted using the improved TF-IDF (Term Frequency–Inverse Document Frequency) approach, and 24 fault feature words were chosen and converted into weight word vectors. Secondly, considering the imbalanced fault categories in the data set, ADASYN (Adaptive Synthetic sampling) adaptive synthetically oversampling technique was used to synthesize a few category fault samples. Finally, the data samples were split into training and test sets based on the fault text data of CTCS-3 train control on-board equipment recorded by Guangzhou Railway Group maintenance personnel. The XGBoost model was utilized to realize the automatic fault location of the test set after optimized parameter tuning through grid search. Compared with other methods, the evaluation index of the XGBoost model was significantly improved. The diagnostic accuracy reached 95.43%, which verifies the effectiveness of the method in text fault diagnosis.

The XGBoost model was utilized to realize the automatic fault location of the test set after optimized parameter tuning through grid search. Compared with other methods, the evaluation index of the XGBoost model was significantly improved. The diagnostic accuracy reached 95.43%, which verifies the effectiveness of the method in text fault diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":52804,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Safety and Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47673213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
