DONG Ze-jiao, LI Sheng-long, WEN Jia-yu, LENG Zhen
Abstract: Based on fiber bragg grating (FBG) measuring technology, the long-term and real-time temperature monitoring system of temperature information for asphalt pavement was established to continuously monitor asphalt pavement temperature.The temperatures of asphalt pavement layers were measured by using high-precision thermocouples to amend the FBG temperature sensors in-site.The FBG temperature sensor was used to monitor the real-time temperature of asphalt pavement.Analysis result shows that the internal pavement temperature reaches the highest value at 2:00-4:00 PM and drops to the lowest value at 4:00-6:00 AM.At 9:00-12:00 AM, the temperature grows fast and at 4:00-6:00 PM it drops fast.With the increase of asphalt pavement depth, the variation extent and rate of internal temperature decrease gradually and correspondingly, the time to reach peaks or troughs has some delays.The internal temperature of asphalt pavement varies with air temperature and keeps the same change trend with season change.The lowest temperature of asphalt pavement in the whole year appears at the beginning of January and grows gradually afterwards.More>

LIN Tong, KUANG Hong-zhu, HU Li-qun, JIAO Sheng-jie, SONG Shi-jie
Abstract: Six proportions of cement stabilized asphalt pavement milling mixture were designed combining the overhaul project of G108 secondary road in Weinan, Shaanxi.Based on laboratory test, the compaction properties of cement stabilized asphalt pavement milling mixture were studied.Through mechanics test of molding specimens, the influence laws of cement content, milling mixture composition, temperature and curing period on the unconfined compressive strength, rupture strength and compressive resilient modulus of mixture were studied.Analysis result shows that the maximum dry density of cement stabilized asphalt pavement milling mixture declines with the increases of milling mixture contents in surface course and base course, but the optimum moisture content increases.The compressive strength, rupture strength, and compressive resilient modulus of cement stabilized asphalt pavement milling mixture increase with the increases of curing period and cement content, but decreases with the increase of temperature.Incorporating new macadam is helpful to improve the strength and modulus of mixture.In the case of reasonable use, the strength of cement stabilized asphalt pavement millingmixture can reach 3.2 MPa, which can meet the requirement of pavement base except for over-heavy traffic.More>

SHEN Yu-peng, WANG Hui-huang, JING Peng, TIAN Ya-hu, FU Xiao-yan
Abstract: The track level of existing railway line was taken as control standard, the influence factors including foundation pit size, existing railway line form and support form were orthogonally analyzed, and the calculation results and field settlement situation were compared. Based on the analysis methods of range and variance, the importance order of influence factors on track level approaching existing railway line was determined, and the track levels were analyzed with and without seepage.Analysis result shows that the importance order of influence factors on track level approaching existing railway line are the width of foundation pit, the subgrade height of existing railway line, the track number of existing railway line (the width of subgrade surface), the depth of foundation pit, support point position, support strength, pile length and the distance from foundation pit to slope toe.For support parameters, the first support position is dominant influence factor.When seepage is considered, the railway track level increases greatly.It is suggested to consider the width of foundation pit preferentially in construction process.The excavation approaching existing railway line should be done under sealing condition.The structure type with optimized parameters should be used to make railway track level less than 3.0 mm.More>

Air-pumping effect analysis for brake disc of high-speed train
ZUO Jian-yong, LUO Zhuo-jun
Abstract: To study the air-pumping characteristics of brake disc during train operation, the finite element models including vehicle, rail, brake disc and related air flow field were put forward. The air-pumping power consumption of brake disc was calculated, and its effect on traction power was analyzed by using dynamic grid and flow-solid conjugation simulation method.Taking a 8-unit high-speed train composed of 4 motor cars and 4 trailers running at 300 km·h-1 as an example, the air-pumping effect of brake disc was simulated and compared.Simulation result indicates that the air-pumping power consumption of brake disc is in proportion to train running speed.The air-pumping power consumption of each car is about 54-70 kW.The air-pumping torque, independent of installation position of brake disc, is mainly influenced by the rotational velocity of brake disc.The proportion of air-pumping power consumption of brake disc reduces with the increase of train running velocity.When train running velocity increases from 200 km·h-1 to 400 km·h-1, the proportion of air-pumping power consumption reduces from 12% to 8%. Blocking air from the inlets of brake discs is helpful to reduce the influence of air-pumping power consumption.Taking the train running at 300 km·h-1 as an example, when the inlets of brake discs are blocked, the air-pumping power consumption of brake disc reduces from 489 kW to 68 kW, the basic resistance power consumption consumed by air-pumping power consumption reduces from 9.0% to 1.3%, so the method is effective.Obviously, it has greater realistic meanings for the cooling rib structure optimization of brake disc of high-speed train in considering the air-pumping power consumption issue.More>

WEN Xiao-xia, DU Zi-xue, ZUO Zhang-yong, LIANG Zhi-hua, ZHAO Da-yi
Abstract: Based on vehicle tire wear theory, the influences of cornering stiffness of running wheel on the cornering force of running wheel and the radial forces of guide wheel and stabilizing wheel for monorail vehicle were analyzed.When monorail vehicle ran along curve track, the changing trend of running wheel's friction power consumed with cornering stiffness variation was studied. Analysis result shows that affected by the radial forces of guide wheels and stabilizing wheels, the cornering force of running wheel increases as its cornering stiffness increasing. When the cornering stiffness range of running wheel is from 1 kN·rad-1 to 120 kN·rad-1, its cornering force and side slip angle are linear, and side slip angle has minor change.When the cornering stiffness exceeds 120 kN·rad-1, side slip angle increases rapidly into the nonlinear region.Based on tire wear index, with the cornering stiffness increase of running wheel, its tire wear increases at 1.2% rate as curve traveling.The cornering stiffness also affect the curve negotiating performance of monorail vehicle, much small cornering stiffness is not conducive to form shook head torque and the curve performance is bad.In order to reduce tire wear, the recommendeddesign cornering stiffness of running wheel is 9.37 kN·rad-1 under the condition of good curve negotiating performance.More>

LI Chen, LI Xing-hu, ZHOU Wei, ZHANG Hong-wei
Abstract: A cornering braking dynamics model of tractor-semitrailer was established.Its accuracy was verified by comparing its outputs with the test data of tractor-semitrailer.By the model simulation of cornering braking process, the changes of vertical loads on coaxial left and right wheels were analyzed, and their effects on wheel locking order and braking stability were carried out.The effect of brake chamber's pressure increase on cornering braking stability was studied. Simulation result indicates that when the maximum braking pressure is 0.62 MPa, the right wheel vertical load of tractor steering shaft increases from 12.00 kN to 23.00 kN, but the left wheel vertical load decreases from 12.00 kN to 0.66 kN, so load transfer is significant.When the maximum braking pressure increases, the load transfer obeys the same regulation, which affects the locking trends of coaxial left and right wheels and the work time of ABS.When the maximum braking pressure increases from 0.62 MPa to 1.50 MPa, the folding angle of tractor-semitrailer decreases from 0.73 rad to 0.67 rad, so the cornering braking stability improves.More>

Abstract: Considering the factors of the communication outage of 38GHz millimeter wave and channel occupancy, deterministic and stochastic Petri nets model (DSPN) was developed based on the handoff process of maglev operation control system.The structures of single mobile terminal (MT) and redundant MT were compared.The effects of base station interval and train running velocity on the handoff reliabilities of single MT and redundant MT were investigated.Investigation result indicates that the handoff performance of redundant MT is significantly higher than that of single MT, the parking probability of single MT is approximate 3×104 times of that of redundant MT.The handoff success rate reduces with the increase of train running velocity and the decrease of base station interval.In the special case, in which the train running velocity is 500 km·h-1 and the base station interval is 500 m, the handoff success rates of redundant MT and single MT are only 98.50% and 97.85% respectively. Research result provides basis for the QoS optimization of train-ground communication subsystem in maglev operation control system and mobile cell setting.More>

ZHANG Shao-yang, GE Li-juan, AN Yi-sheng, CAO Jin-shan
Abstract: The compilation and management statuses of transportation data standards in China were analyzed. Transportation data standards were divided into 4 categories, including management standard, data definition standard, exchange standard and interface implementation standard.The standardization demands were analyzed and contrasted with the existing standards from the aspects of data producing, storage, exchange and application.Research status and deficiency of transportation data standards were discussed from management and overall planning, data definition, data storage, data exchange and decision support application.Analysis result indicates that in present standard management and overall planning, the bottom-up compilation and respective responsibility of informatization professional standard committees (IPSCs) lead to overlap of IPSCs and insufficient of overall planning research.In terms of data definition standards, the existing basic standards put too much emphasis on meeting the needs of application systems, causing the inadequacies of fundamentality of basic standards and the lack of data definition standard system.In terms of data storage, the setting of data storage standards is still blank.In terms of data exchange, the internal standards of each business system are alreadymade, but a systematic and opening mechanism for sharing and exchanging is still not established.In terms of decision support applications, decision support method for accurate data and large data is shortage.It is suggested that traffic information basic standard workshop should be set up to enhance the overall planning research and collaborate with the different IPSCs in management.In standard construction, the top-level design should be enhanced.Meanwhile, the research of transportation decision support method should be strengthened.More>
