INTRoduCTIoN Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) entails the automated recording of the number plate, date/time and location of each vehicle that passes a roadside camera, using vehicle number plate recognition software. Records of individual vehicles that pass multiple cameras can be matched to determine the path of the vehicle and calculate travel times between the survey locations. If cameras are in a closed cordon, the origin and destination of external trips passing through the cordon can be determined. A series of ANPR cameras along a route, or at strategic locations throughout a network, would not observe every vehicle upon entry and exit to the network, and constitutes an open format number plate survey. Both closed and open format ANPR data have the potential to provide information that can be useful during the development of strategic traffic models, in ways that are not possible with other sources of traffic data. Comprehensive traffic observations from loop detectors, like ANPR, provide link speed and volume information which is useful during the calibration and validation of traffic models. But the additional ability of ANPR to track individual vehicles from point to point also provides potentially useful data on the distribution of trips through the network. While this constitutes partial rather than comprehensive origin-destination (OD) data, it may still serve as an additional independent data set against which model outputs can be validated. ANPR data has rarely been used in this way. The objective of this paper is to examine the use of ANPR data for traffic model validation in terms of its comprehensiveness and accuracy. ANPR data is provided by the South African National Roads Agency SOC Ltd (SANRAL) from the Open Road Tolling (ORT) system deployed on the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP). Selected link volumes and journey times are, for demonstration purposes, compared with the GFIP traffic model’s 2015 forecasts. In addition, the trip distribution characteristics of the ANPR data are exploited by extracting partial OD and trip length distribution metrics for comparison with modelled quantities. This required the development of a new methodology to process traffic model outputs such that they are directly comparable to ANPR-derived partial OD data. This is a feature of model validation that has not been found in previous studies. Validating traffic models using large-scale Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) data

INTRODUCTION A hydraulic jump causes kinetic energy dissipation downstream of the hydraulic structures, whenever the flow regime is changed from supercritical to subcritical flow. Stilling basins are considered for energy dissipation to reduce flow energy and create conditions for the occurrence of hydraulic jump in a specific position (Jain 2001). A significant parameter to determine hydraulic jump length is the bed roughness. The results of previous studies have shown that increasing the bed roughness may cause more energy dissipation and, accordingly, may change the hydraulic jump length. Peterka (1984), in the USBR laboratory, presented a graph (Lj/y2 vs Fr1) to determine hydraulic jump length based on numerous experiments in some channels. Ead and Rajarantnam (2002) investigated hydraulic jump over corrugated aluminium beds, and developed an empirical model. They found that hydraulic jump length over corrugated bed surfaces was approximately half the classical jump length. Izadjoo and Shafai-Bejestan (2007) studied hydraulic jump over four corrugated beds. Pagliara et al (2008) determined an equation for hydraulic jump length over both uniform and non-uniform rough beds in horizontal channels. In recent years, Chanson (2009), Alikhani et al (2010), Nasr Esfahani and Shafai Bajestan (2012), Imran and Akib (2013), and Riazi and Jafari (2014) have studied the effect of drop and barrier height, divergence angle of stilling basins and rough and corrugated bed on the characteristics of hydraulic jump and energy dissipation using dimensional analysis. Kumar and Lodhi (2016) investigated the effect of bed roughness heights on the characteristics of a hydraulic jump. They concluded that the bed roughness height has no considerable effect on hydraulic jump characteristics. Due to the impact of roughness on hydraulic jump, the main aim of this study was to develop a new model to estimate hydraulic jump lengths on horizontal rough beds using dimensional analysis and physical model tests.
当流型由超临界流转变为亚临界流时,水力跃变会引起水工结构下游的动能耗散。消力池用于消能,降低水流能,为特定位置发生水跃创造条件(Jain 2001)。决定水力跳跃长度的一个重要参数是河床粗糙度。以往的研究结果表明,增加河床粗糙度可以引起更大的能量耗散,从而改变水力跃变长度。Peterka(1984)在USBR实验室提出了一个图表(Lj/y2 vs Fr1),以确定在一些通道中进行的大量实验为基础的水力跳跃长度。Ead和Rajarantnam(2002)研究了波纹铝床的水力跳跃,并开发了一个经验模型。他们发现,波纹床表面上的水力跳跃长度大约是传统跳跃长度的一半。Izadjoo和shafaie - bejstan(2007)研究了四个波纹床的水力跳跃。Pagliara等人(2008)确定了水平河道中均匀和非均匀粗糙河床的水力跳跃长度方程。近年来,Chanson(2009)、Alikhani等(2010)、Nasr Esfahani和Shafai Bajestan(2012)、Imran和Akib(2013)、Riazi和Jafari(2014)利用量次分析的方法研究了落差和障壁高度、消力池发散角、粗糙层和波纹层对水跃特性和能量耗散的影响。Kumar和Lodhi(2016)研究了河床粗糙度高度对水力跳跃特性的影响。他们得出结论,河床粗糙度高度对水跃特性没有太大的影响。由于粗糙度对水跃的影响,本研究的主要目的是通过量纲分析和物理模型试验建立一个新的模型来估计水平粗糙床的水跃长度。
