Abstract(190) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of countdown signal timers on the safety of signalized intersections .Data were collected at 13 approaches of 9 signalized intersections .A cross-sectional analysis was conducted to compare the safety performance of signalized intersections with and without countdown timers .Various sur-rogate safety measures ,such as the red-yellow running violation ratio and traffic conflicts ,were used for safety assess-ment .It is found out that the countdown signal timers significantly increase the red-yellow running violation and traffic conflicts at signalized intersections for both through and protected left-turn movements .The study results of this paper suggest that the countdown signal timers negatively affect the safety performance of the signalized intersections and there-fore ,should be used more cautiously .

Abstract(238) PDF(1)
Abstract:
The paper conducts an investigation of the typical choice behavior for the unbalanced operation of Park and Ride in Shanghai .According to the results of the preliminary investigation ,travel time is the most important impact factor and the second most important impact factor is the travel cost .In order to verify the universality of the conclusion , this paper investigated the travel costs of typical travel routes at the peak time by network observation supplemented by actual travel time data .The study finds that :(1) P+R facilities in Shanghai can be divided into urban and suburban lots , and many users are derived from the public transportation and other motorized travel modes ;(2) drivers value travel time the most ,whose time value is higher in traffic jams than in free-flow road conditions ;(3) public transportation passen-gers are abstracted by the travel time savings while taxi users tempted by the travel cost ;(4) P+ R can promote multi-model travel mode ,and residents with imperfect bus transit services have higher demand for P+R facilities .

Abstract(215) PDF(0)
Abstract:
Bus travel time between stops has obvious period distribution characteristics .The buses ,with the char-acteristic of state transition ,have a typical space-time process .In order to predict the bus travel time between stops in the future period of time accurately ,an improved algorithm based on the basic Markov chain is proposed .The algorithm can be divided into two steps .The first step is to set up the first-order Markov transition matrix for a specific bus route dur-ing different period of time with the bus GPS data and then to predict the bus travel time between stops based on the ma-trix .The second step is to improve the basic Markov chain algorithm by leading up the compensation of moving error . The algorithm was tested and validated by using the data taken from the bus route B1 of Guangzhou BRT .The test result shows that the improved algorithm with the compensation of moving error provides better predicting accuracy than both basic Markov chain algorithm and the BP neural network algorithm and that the improved algorithm is simple in imple-mentation .

Abstract:
In this paper ,FLUENT software is utilized to simulate the hydroplaning process of three kinds of differ-ent vehicle tires ,i .e .tires with the longitudinal texture ,horizontal texture and multi texture ;the relative parameters such as the dynamic water pressure ,the vehicle speed and the water film thickness are calculated .The results of simula-tion show that :(a) Among the three different kinds of tires ,one with the multi texture has the best hydroplaning resist-ant property while one with longitudinal texture has the worst anti-hydroplaning performance ;(b) The dynamic water pressure increases with the increasing vehicle speed when the water thickness remains stable ,and the increasing rate of dynamic water pressure increases with the driving speed as well ;(c) The dynamic water pressure increases with the thickness of water on condition that the vehicle speed remains stable .Based on the principle that the hydroplaning phe-nomenon occurs while the dynamic water pressure is equal to the internal pressure of vehicle tires ,the relationship be-tween the critical hydroplaning speed and the thickness of water film is established in this paper .Then ,based on the ex-isting equation of water film thickness ,the relationship between the critical hydroplaning speed and the precipitation is al-so calculated .

Abstract:
A high number of maritime accidents are caused due to human errors ,which are further influenced by personal factors ,environmental factors ,ship factors and management factors .A general statistical approach can only link maritime accidents to simple human behavior problem ;however ,it cannot further establish the relationship between the human error and other real influencing factors .It is very challenging for researchers to set up the relationship between the human fault and other influencing factors that cause the human error due to the insufficient data ,improper research meth-od ,and limited research which is only confined to the relationship between human error and a single factor .In this paper a model is established by using data mining association rules to analyze the relationship between the human fault and its environment influencing factors .This paper collects 100 domestic and international maritime accident investigation re-ports ,and uses data mining association rules to explore the relationships between human factor and environmental factor . Practices prove that human factor and environmental factor are the major factors causing maritime accidents .
