Modeling level-of-safety for bus stops in China

Objective: Safety performance at bus stops is generally evaluated by using historical traffic crash data or traffic conflict data. However, in China, it is quite difficult to obtain such data mainly due to the lack of traffic data management and organizational issues. In light of this, the primary objective of this study is to develop a quantitative approach to evaluate bus stop safety performance.

Methods: The concept of level-of-safety for bus stops is introduced and corresponding models are proposed to quantify safety levels, which consider conflict points, traffic factors, geometric characteristics, traffic signs and markings, pavement conditions, and lighting conditions. Principal component analysis and k-means clustering methods were used to model and quantify safety levels for bus stops.

Results: A case study was conducted to show the applicability of the proposed model with data collected from 46 samples for the 7 most common types of bus stops in China, using 32 of the samples for modeling and 14 samples for illustration. Based on the case study, 6 levels of safety for bus stops were defined. Finally, a linear regression analysis between safety levels and the number of traffic conflicts showed that they had a strong relationship (R² value of 0.908).

Conclusions: The results indicated that the method was well validated and could be practically used for the analysis and evaluation of bus stop safety in China. The proposed model was relatively easy to implement without the requirement of traffic crash data and/or traffic conflict data. In addition, with the proposed method, it was feasible to evaluate countermeasures to improve bus stop safety (e.g., exclusive bus lanes).     

Application of k-means clustering to environmental risk zoning of the chemical industrial area

The homogeneous risk characteristics within a sub-area and the heterogeneous from one sub-area to another are unclear using existing environmental risk zoning methods. This study presents a new zoning method by determining and categorizing the risk characteristics using the k-means clustering data mining technology. The study constructs indices and develops index quantification models for environmental risk zoning by analyzing the mechanism of environmental risk occurrence. We calculate the source risk index, air risk field index, water risk field index, and target vulnerability of the study area with Nanjing Chemical Industrial Park using a 100 m - 100 m mesh grid as the basic zoning unit, and then use k-means clustering to analyze the environmental risk in the area. We obtain the optimal clustering number with the largest average silhouette coefficient by calculating the average silhouette coefficients of clustering at different k-values. The clustering result with the optimal clustering number is then used for the environmental risk zoning, and the zoning result is mapped using the geographic information system. The study area is divided into five sub-areas. The common environmental risk characteristics within the same sub-area, as well as the differences between sub- areas, are presented. The zoning is helpful in risk management and is convenient for decision makers to distribute limited resources to different sub-areas in the design of risk reducing intervention.     

一种基于三维指标因子的流域多年径流丰枯k-means聚类法

径流丰枯聚类研究的传统方法多建立在年径流量的单一指标之上,容易导致分析的片面化。针对这个问题,提出了衡量流域多年径流丰枯状态的三维指标因子及权重,将其耦合到k-means聚类法的相似度计算与收敛分析中,在此基础上对对多年径流进行丰枯聚类,构建了一种基于三维指标因子的流域多年径流丰枯k-means聚类法。以该方法对广东省鉴江流域下游化州站1956—2006年的径流系列进行聚类分析,并与基于年径流量单一指标的k-means聚类方法进行对比,结果表明该方法是较全面且符合实际的。

Estimating the risk of insect species invasion: Kohonen self-organising maps versus k-means clustering

Previous work on the estimation of the invasiveness of insect pest species used a single Kohonen self-organising map (SOM) to quantify the invasion potential of each member of a set of species in relation to a particular geographic region. In this paper that method is critically compared to an alternative approach of calculating the invasive potential of insect pest species as an outcome of clustering of regional species assemblages. Data clustering was performed using SOM and k-means optimisation clustering and multiple trials were performed with each algorithm. The outcomes of these two approaches were evaluated and compared to the previously published results obtained from a single SOM. The results show firstly, due to the inherent variation between trials of the algorithms used, that multiple trials are necessary to determine reliable risk ratings, and secondly, that k-means clustering can be considered a more appropriate algorithm for this particular application, as it produces clusters of higher quality, as determined by objective cluster measures, and is far more computationally efficient than SOM.
