Moderation effect of planning on housing development along the French Atlantic coast: findings from an event history hazard model

Laws and bylaws are regularly challenged for their effectiveness in containing urbanisation sprawl and, conversely, for the constraints they put on development projects. From a French case study, we used survival analysis to disentangle a complex mix of influences on the distribution of residential construction over a 42-year observation period at plot scale when almost everything changes simultaneously. We found that integrated laws and bylaws can slow down coastal urbanisation but do not stop it. Although land planning is becoming more effective, it still provides ample opportunity for residential development because other factors, like distance to existing infrastructure, exert a far stronger influence than the protection of coastal areas. Therefore, this article contributes to filling a knowledge gap about the founding role of public policies on land use dynamics.     

鸟粪石法回收制肥工业废水中氨氮的中试研究

制肥工业废水中氨氮浓度高,难以直接进行生化反应,采用鸟粪石沉淀法可有效去除并回收氨氮。利用中试反应器回收某制肥工业废水中的氨氮,采用氯化镁与氧化镁作为联用镁源,通过考察不同进料方式、搅拌速度、停留时间等因素的影响,确定了鸟粪石法回收氨氮的最佳工况:采用间歇进水、固体投加镁源的投料方式,搅拌速度300 r/min,停留时间2 h。最佳条件下,氨氮去除率达到93.5%,磷残余率小于0.3%,生成的鸟粪石纯度可达85.6%,砷和铅的质量分数分别为0.0036和0.0008,符合肥料中重金属限值(GB/T 23349-2009),其他重金属均未检出。因此,回收产品有很好的利用价值。经济分析表明磷源是此方法处理成本较高的主要原因。     

Driving anger expression in Germany—Validation of the Driving Anger Expression Inventory for German drivers

Objective: The main objective of this article is to examine whether the Driving Anger Expression Inventory (DAX) applies to German drivers because this scale has previously been given to drivers in many different countries.

Methods: We applied German versions of the DAX, the Driving Anger Scale (DAS), and the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI) to a sample of 501 German drivers. We computed confirmatory factor analysis and principal axis factoring (PAF) analysis to examine the structure of driving anger expression in Germany. Finally, we related the drivers’ anger exp ression scores to their driving anger experiences and their general anger propensities to assess the validity of the DAX for German drivers.

Results: Results indicated that the DAX’s original factor structure does not apply to German drivers because the confirmatory factor analysis did not show a good model fit. An item analysis revealed that many DAX items had no meaningful variability. They were excluded from further analysis. The subsequent PAF analysis indicated that German drivers do not use personal physical aggression to express their driving anger. Instead, they reported unique preventive anger expression management behavior. In addition, their driving anger expressions were significantly related to their driving anger experiences and their general anger propensities indicated the validity of the refined DAX for German drivers.

Conclusions: We conclude that German drivers do not use strong behaviors to express their driving anger. Many statements of Deffenbacher et al.’s (Behav Res Ther. 40:717–737, 2002) original American questionnaire were not applicable for our sample of German drivers. These findings are in line with several other studies showing discrepancies in driving anger expression in various countries. Future investigations should examine the reasons for discrepancies in driving anger expression.     

Test procedure for evaluating the human–machine interface of vehicles with automated driving systems

Abstract

Objective: The human–machine interface (HMI) is a crucial part of every automated driving system (ADS). In the near future, it is likely that—depending on the operational design domain (ODD)—different levels of automation will be available within the same vehicle. The capabilities of a given automation level as well as the operator’s responsibilities must be communicated in an appropriate way. To date, however, there are no agreed-upon evaluation methods that can be used by human factors practitioners as well as researchers to test this.

Methods: We developed an iterative test procedure that can be applied during the product development cycle of ADS. The test procedure is specifically designed to evaluate whether minimum requirements as proposed in NHTSA’s automated vehicle policy are met.

Results: The proposed evaluation protocol includes (a) a method to identify relevant use cases for testing on the basis of all theoretically possible steady states and mode transitions of a given ADS; (b) an expert-based heuristic assessment to evaluate whether the HMI complies with applicable norms, standards, and best practices; and (c) an empirical evaluation of ADS HMIs using a standardized design for user studies and performance metrics.

Conclusions: Each can be used as a stand-alone method or in combination to generate objective, reliable, and valid evaluations of HMIs, focusing on whether they meet minimum requirements. However, we also emphasize that other evaluation aspects such as controllability, misuse, and acceptance are not within the scope of the evaluation protocol.

基于脑电信号的驾驶员情绪状态识别研究

为研究驾驶员情绪状态识别技术,利用特定题材的影音氛围诱发兴奋和悲伤2种情绪,结合汽车模拟驾驶试验采集驾驶员情绪化驾驶时的脑电信号,利用db5小波分解算法分解信号,提取受情绪状态显著的脑电信号成分,并计算相应的功率谱。结果表明:驾驶员左右额叶区脑电β波受情绪状态影响显著;平静状态时,驾驶员左右额叶脑电β波功率值Pβ大小近似,数值较小;兴奋状态时,左右额叶脑电Pβ大小近似,相比于平静时显著增加;悲伤状态时,左额叶脑电Pβ显著增加,右额叶脑电Pβ相比于平静时无显著变化。Pβ可作为区分驾驶员平静(平常)、兴奋和悲伤这3种情绪状态的依据。
