Prediction model of rain water depth on road surface
JI Tian-jian, HUANG Xiao-ming, LIU Qing-quan, TANG Guo-qi
Abstract: Rainfall and slope rough degree have great effect on rain water depth on road surface, and their relation is highly nonlinear, it can not be described by simple models. This paper used artificial neural network to establish the prediction model of water film thickness. Input layers of the model were rainfall intensity, gradient, slope length and contexture depth of road, output layer was rain water depth, there were 6 neural cells in hidden layer. The weights and thresholds of the model were attained through training neural network with testing data.Applied results show that the relative coefficient of predictive values and measure values is 0.98, error is 3.08. The result indicates that the predictive model is reasonable.More>

Abstract: Derailment course of freight train running on the old Luanhe bridge of Jingshan up and down direction line was respectively calculated by the calculation model of special vibration of train-bridge time-variant system and the random energy analysis method of train derailment. Using energy increment criterion, the derailment case of freight train running on down direction line was calculated, and freight train running on up direction line was judged to be not derailed, which correspond to the fact. Meanwhile, the derailment reason of freight train running on down direction line was analyzed. It is pointed that the lack of bridge rigidity is the main reason causing train derailment, and bridge rigidity is the main controlled factor ensuring train's safety running on the bridge.More>

Optimal signal-planning method of intersections based on bus priority
ZHANG Wei-hua, LU Hua-pu, SHI Qin, LIU Qiang
Abstract: By the traditional signal-planning method, cycle is determined according to minimum average vehicle delay, green time is determined according to the vehicle flow ratio of phases. The traditional signal-planning method is unfair to these phases with a big proportion of bus, because a bus can load more passengers than a non-bus does. This paper set up a signal-planning method, in which the average people delay is regarded as an optimal aim of cycle, and green time is determined according to passenger quantity and the saturation of phases. When according to this method to plan signal time, though average vehicle delay is bigger than that of traditional method, but average bus delay and people delay are reduced near 30%. Applied results show that this signal-planning method provides priority for bus, and reduces bus delay on the premise of ensuring smooth traffic.More>
