Strategic Study on Integration of Port and City Development in Rizhao

Abstract

Agglomeration of the Yangtze Delta (UAYD), one of the most developed regions of China, has witnessed an increasing prevalence in building ecological cities when the ecological cities are pursued by many modern cities, and great achievements have been made in this regard. It is inevitable, however, that certain problems exist during the construction of ecological city, which include but not limited to non-harmonious development of urban complex ecosystem, and the difficulty in quantifying eco-city construction or incomplete quantification in assessing the construction of present and future eco-city. Based on the analysis on social-economic conditions and regional conditions of the UAYD, this paper attempts to set up an index system of eco-cities combining with local characteristics, and to adopt the indices of eco-city, urban harmony, and eco-city colligate to evaluate the ecological level, urban harmonious development and eco-city construction of cities within the UAYD. Results indicate that among 15 cities in UAYD, Suzhou City ranks the highest in terms of eco-city construction, whereas Nantong ranks relatively lower; sustainable eco-city construction is possible only when cities are developed in every respect of harmony.     

交通系统智能决策的算法研究

遗传算法是近年来迅速发展起来的一种全新的随机搜索与优化算法，但由于其自身固有的缺陷，通常优化过程的收敛速度较慢，局部搜索能力不足，而且算法稳定性较差。而蚁群算法广泛应用在旅行商问题计算中，目前是较好的求解最短路由问题的算法之一。就其自身来说有很多优点，如正反馈性、鲁棒性和智能性，但是在寻优过程中容易陷入局部最佳的缺点。针对上述情况，将遗产算法与蚁群算法相结合，用于实际交通系统寻找最优路径的问题中，并定义了目标函数，以路径可靠性和路径长度为优化目标，寻找最合适的救灾路线。最后通过实际计算结果的对比验证，说明了该方法的有效性。

FACTORS AFFECTING WATERWAY INVESTMENT DECISIONS1

ABSTRACT: There are many factors, other than economic efficiency, which must be considered in judging the merits of proposed investments in the inland navigation system. No satisfactory formula exists for deciding the net worth of public investments in water resources projects. Such a measure would not be accepted because these investments can serve conflicting goals. Political, rather than technical, judgments are required to resolve these goal conflicts.     

Multi-objective transportation route optimization for hazardous materials based on GIS

Safety and security are of paramount importance, it is important to optimize and improve the routes of trucks that carry hazardous materials. In this study, we not only ensure the risk in the network, but also consider the transportation cost and the factors such as buildings and emergency facilities around the routes. The Geographic Information System (GIS) is used to quantify the factors on each section in the network. We present an epsilon constrained multi-objective mixed-integer linear programming optimization model to find the robust and stable transportation optimization solutions. At the end, we complete a case analysis of the proposed methodology to determine the motorway segments in Jiangsu province, China and test the above algorithm on the network, which has 144 nodes and 388 sections. The results we get show that the factors of buildings play a very important role in the model, and the multi-objective mixed-integer linear optimization model is reasonable and performs good quality.

An Interpretive Study of Yosemite National Park Visitors’ Perspectives Toward Alternative Transportation in Yosemite Valley

The National Park Service (NPS) is increasingly focusing on alternative transportation systems in national parks to address environmental and social problems arising from a historical reliance on personal automobiles as the primary means of visitor access. Despite the potential advantages, alternative transportation may require a reorientation in the way that Americans have experienced national parks since the advent of auto-tourism in the early twentieth century. Little research exists, however, on visitor perspectives towards alternative transportation or the rationale underlying their perspectives. It remains unclear how transportation systems affect visitors’ experiences of the park landscape or the factors influencing their travel behavior in the parks. This report presents an interpretive study of visitor perspectives toward transportation management in the Yosemite Valley area of Yosemite National Park, California. Qualitative analysis of 160 semi-structured interviews identified individual psychological factors as well as situational influences that affect visitors’ behavior and perspectives. Individual psychological factors include perceived freedom, environmental values and beliefs, prior experience with Yosemite National Park and other national parks, prior experience with alternative transportation in national parks, and sensitivity to subjective perceptions of crowding. Situational factors included convenience, access, and flexibility of travel modes, as well as type of visit, type of group, and park use level. Interpretive communication designed to encourage voluntary visitor use of alternative transportation should focus on these psychological and situational factors. Although challenges remain, the results of this study suggest approaches for shaping the way Americans visit and experience their national parks to encourage environmental sustainability.     

高速公路建设与区域城镇分布的相互影响初探--以山东省为例

本文在介绍山东省高速公路发展概况的基础上，对其发展速度、规模及布局做了初步评价，同时以现有的交通网络格局为基础，结合各城市2001年的GDP数量和所处的地理环境的差异，划分出城镇密集区与稀疏区，分析评价了高速公路路网结构与城镇分布的相互关系。并分析了高速公路的空间布局与山东省城镇分布和扩展方向的相互影响。     

可变情报板对交通安全的影响分析

目前,可变情报板作为最基础、最常用的诱导信息发布平台被大量安装在道路两侧。一方面,它在一定程度上分散了车辆的聚集,减少了车辆的巡游;而另一方面,由于对可变情报板的设置、显示等方面的研究不足,它对交通安全带来了一定的影响,或者诱导效果并不理想。笔者主要围绕北京市西直门桥周边的可变情报板进行调研,从多个方面分析了可变情报板对交通安全的影响,列出了主要的影响因素,如刷新频率、视认性等,并给出了一定的量化指标。     

单线铁路的天窗开设与运输组织问题研究

铁路天窗的开设属于运输组织的重要部分.采用大型养路机械开设综合维修天窗已成为铁路设备养护维修作业的主要发展趋势.综合维修天窗是铁路线路、供电、信号等部门为生产设备大、中修及维修施工作业等在列车运行图中规定的时间段.在运能紧张的单线铁路上,如何安排这个时间段来协调运输与施工之间的矛盾,是值得深入研究的问题.通过分析单线铁路的运输组织特点,天窗开设方式对线路通过能力的影响及合理"天窗"时间的设置,得出单线铁路在现行运输组织方案下开设180min夜间垂直天窗进行施工是合理的.
