Dynamic Interaction of High Speed Maglev Train on Girders and Its Comparison With the Case in Ordinary High Speed Railwys
SHEN Zhi-yun
Abstract: Reviewing the achievements in vertical, lateral and longitudinal dynamics of high speed train, the dynamic interaction between the high speed maglev and girders has been studied.A comparison of it with the case in wheel/rail typed high speed trains was discussed in detail.The main conclusion obtained is that around 300 km/h wheel/rail trains should be the backbone of the ground high speed rail transit system.In the case that the extraordinary high speed, e.g.400~600 km/h, is required, then the maglev is feasible.The maglev serves as a kind of complement of the main high speed rail system.From this point of view, the high speed maglev Pudong Airport Transit Line in Shanghai is important and should be well constructed.But to construct Beijing Shanghai wheel/rail high speed railway is even more important, and should be put into action as soon as possible.More>

On the Comparison of Dynamic Effects on Bridges of Maglev Trains with High-Speed Wheel/Rail Trains
ZHAI Wan-ming, ZHAO Chun-fa, CAI Cheng-biao
Abstract: A maglev vehicle/girder interaction model and a dynamic model of wheel/rail train and bridge are established, based on the configuration of German high speed maglev system and Japanese Shinkansen system, respectively.Dynamic responses of high speed trains passing through a bridge have been calculated and compared for various running speeds and various spans of bridges.Numerical results show that the ride comfort of the maglev vehicle is much better than that of the wheel/rail vehicle, especially in the situation of extraordinary high speed operation, the dynamic effect on bridge of the maglev train is smaller than that of the wheel/rail train only when the span length of bridge is below 22 m, but for the bridge with middle and large spans the dynamic effect of the maglev train will be stronger than that of the wheel/rail train in high speed operations.More>

Design of Freeway Automatic Incident Detection System and Algorithm
JIANG Gui-yan, WEN Hui-min, YANG Zhao-sheng
Abstract: As high as 60% to 70% of the traffic delay experienced by motorists in developed countrics is attributed to traffic incident. A substantial reduction in this delay can be achieved by early detection of the incidents that cause it and prompt response to divert the traffic in the upstream flow. Since the late 60s of 21th, Automatic Incident Detection (AID) systems have been developed and implemented to help traffic management authorities. However, high false alarm rates and low poor performance of the adopted AID system have caused some authorities to abandon them. To enhance the reliability, transferability and economization of AID system, a framework for freeway AID system with three grade alarm policy is put forword, and an AID algorithm based on the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) technology that only need single detector is designed. It was proved by simulated data that the model built on one segment can be utilized to other segments, and all three measurements (DR, FAR and MTTD) are superior to the objective algorithm. Furthermore, the total cost of freeway incident management system can be reduced due to only single detector is needed for one detector station.More>

The Methods of Computing the Capacity of Signalized Intersection
XU Li-qun, WU Cong, YANG Zhao-sheng
Abstract: There are many methods of computing the capacity of signalized intersection in the road networks, which are fit for different conditions. Traffic in China is characterized of mixed traffic flow. Computing the capacity of urban signalized intersections is the task of many transportation planning researchers. Taking a typical four leg intersection for example, three common methods (crashing point method, stop line method and America method) are used to compute the capacity of it respectively. The results of the above methods are compared with the capacity measured on the spot. It shows that the result of crashing point method is closest to the real capacity, however the results of the other two methods are larger than the real capacity. So we can conclude that crashing point method is more suitable for the traffic conditions and the characteristics of mixed traffic flow in China.More>

Crashworthy Energy Absorbing Car-body Design Method for Passenger Train
TIAN Hong-qi
Abstract: In order to reduce the losses suffered from collision between passenger trains, a new design method for the car body structure of motor car and trailer is advanced. Car body structures are made up of three parts with diffferent stiffness, by carefully designed. The parts of the front and the end are the weak stiffness structure to absorb energy through plastic deformation in the collision. The middle part, where only elastic deformation occurs, is an elastic deformation structure with strong stiffness. As the passenger train runs normally, car body structure measure up to regulation of intensity and stiffness in the standards. Once collision accident occurred when the train is moving with fairly high speed, the energy absorbing structure produces large plastic deformation along the direction needed to absorb sufficient energy, at the same time, the deceleration must be controlled within the endurable limits to human body.More>
