Calculation of Minor Maintenance Cost of Highway Traffic Safety Facilities
With the evolution of better highway services and larger traffic volume, the traditional maintenance management indicators can no longer satisfy the demands of highway traffic safety. In order to ensure timely, fast, safe, and reliable highway maintenance and repair, this paper proposes a road traffic safety maintenance evaluation method. The fuzzy maintenance evaluation method based on the gray correlation degree is used to construct the safety maintenance evaluation model. The damaged characteristics of the high-grade highway components are analysed. The parameters of the evaluation model are established using the analytic hierarchy process, and the accuracy of the model is verified through experiments. The results show that the safety service level can intuitively measure the maintenance and repair status of various transportation facilities. When the safety level is 1 (above 87 points) or 2 (above 85 points), the road maintenance and repair are in good condition and the road users have a high level of satisfaction on safety; when the safety level is 3 or 4 (80 points or less), it reflects that there are weak links in the road components, and targeted maintenance repairs are required. The results provide references for highway safety maintenance decision-making and improvement of highway traffic safety services to some extent.
Research on Intelligent Layout Optimization Design Method of Ship Cabin Based on Modular Design
The design of the ship cabin layout is a multi-objective comprehensive optimization problem, which needs to consider the location of the passage, cabin layout, space utilization ratio, functional realization, comfort, safety, and so on. In this paper, an improved tabu-criterion genetic algorithm for the intelligent design of ship cabin layout is proposed. According to the characteristics of ship accommodation cabin layout design, a ship deck layout area model and a multi-objective optimization model including relative location model, absolute location model, and ergonomic constraint model are established. The neighborhood transformation criterion and tabu-criterion of tabu search algorithm are introduced into genetic algorithm to advance the local search ability of a genetic algorithm. At the same time, a new genetic algorithm coding method is proposed to avoid the generation of illegal solutions in cabin layout sequence crossover and mutation operation. The improved genetic algorithm can effectively improve the local search ability of a genetic algorithm and make the algorithm converge to the optimal solution as soon as possible at the later stage of calculation. Finally, the simulation results verify the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed intelligent design method for ship accommodation cabin layout.
Study on Flow Allocation of Emergency Evacuation Path in Subway Station under Emergency
To estimate evacuation capacity of subway stations under emergency conditions, a bilevel programming model of evacuee equilibrium is built by considering travel time on walking facilities with various congestion degrees. The upper-level model ensures the maximum utilization of facilities, whereas the lower level model is to minimize the evacuation time by determining how to guide evacuees to arrive at safety zones. An improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is designed to solve the model. To validate the model and algorithm, by taking capacity estimation of Fuxingmen Station of Beijing Subway as an example, evacuation process is simulated to get the optimal routes and proper estimation. Evacuation passenger flow per unit time and network crowdedness are selected as indexes to estimate the capacity of station under emergency condition. The results show that the capacity of Fuxingmen Station is 1,071 persons per minute in the adverse situation.
Study on Maneuverability of Ultra Large Container Ship in Wind
Transport activities contribute significantly to the air pollution and its impact on emissions is a key element in the evaluation of any transport policy or plan. Calculation of emissions has therefore gained institutional importance in the European Community. Recently, the scientific community has assessed evidence that exposure to outdoor air pollution causes lung cancer and increases the risk of bladder cancer. Because air pollution in urban areas is mainly caused by transportation, it is necessary to evaluate pollutant exhaust emissions from vehicles during their real-world use. Nevertheless their evaluation and reduction is a key problem, especially in the cities, that account for more than 50% of world population. To obtain emission factors several methods make use only of vehicle mean velocity, which can be easily obtained by vehicle flow and density in the road. Among them it is worth mentioning COPERT IV, MOBILE, INFRAS, MEET models that are widely used in the practice. In ARTEMIS FP project, a new statistical approach has been developed capable to consider more attributes than the simple mean speed to characterize driving behaviour, not only in the determination of driving cycles but also in the emission modelling. In this context, a meso scale emission model, named KEM, Kinematic Emission Model, able to calculate emission factor was developed. However, it is necessary to consider that the input to this model is, in any case, the driving cycle, and that to develop a quantitative method capable to determine the exact mix of driving cycle, on the basis of road characteristics and traffic management rules, results a very hard job. In addition a particular attention could be given to the slope variability along the streets during each journey performed by the instrumented vehicle. So in this paper we try to develop a second version of KEM model that dealt with the problem of describing and introducing same variables relative to road gradient variability in a quantitatively way. In the context of correlation study between driving cycles/emission/geographical location, we have to solve some problems for the reconstruction of GPS coordinates and altitude, during an experimental campaign realized with an instrumented car.
Flexural Stiffness Calculation of Cracked Reinforced Concrete Beams Based on Crack Distribution
A fictitious crack model is introduced into cracked reinforced concrete beams to assess the changing beam stiffness under loads. Firstly, nonlinear concrete stress distributions near cracks are built based on the model. Then the stress of the steel bar at the cracked section is considered as cohesive stress. The concrete and steel stresses are substituted into the equilibrium equations of forces to solve the concrete stress. Based on the solution, the section inertias are estimated by iterating the calculation of the cracking open displacement, and finally the beam stiffness is assessed. Experimental data from seven concrete beams after cracking are adopted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, and the results show that the fictitious cracks ahead of actual cracks increase their depth with the load, which will raise the neutral axis and change the inertias of cracked sections and their neighboring sections. These changes are taken into account in the stiffness assessment, so the results predicted by the proposed method are shown to coincide well with the nonlinear deflections measured in the experiments.

3D Modeling and Simulation of Inland Water Flow for Ship Manipulation Simulator
The paper presents a software system for interactive 3D simulations of offloading operations commonly executed in offshore scenarios. The system was developed to simulate an LNG vessel approaching or departing from a FPSO unit or LNG tanker in 3D Virtual Environment. However, it has the capabilities of a global purpose manoeuvring simulator, including state of the art models of manoeuvrability, sea-keeping and sea surface simulations, which are integrated into the system. Additionally to common real-time physically based manoeuvrability simulators, this simulator also includes real-time ship motions calculations. The system architecture is composed of three main modules that support interaction and real-time data exchange with the integrated mathematical models. The manoeuvrability module allows the user to control the steering gear, the main engine and the bow thrusters, through the Virtual Environment. The seakeeping module computes wave induced ship motions in real-time according to ship's position, heading and speed, based on pre-calculated response amplitude operators. The sea surface module generates and simulates sea states defined by wave spectra. The system takes advantage of the programmable capabilities of the graphics processor units to increase the performance and realism of the simulations. The simulator may be used by operation planners and ship masters, as a tool for testing and training different offloading scenarios and approaching manoeuvres.
Performance Simulation of Hydrous Ethanol Reformer Based on FLUENT
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) has been recognized to be the potential source for future vehicles due to environmentally friendly. Supplying hydrogen for mobile vehicles is becoming of interest since storing compressed hydrogen in the bottle is not only dangerous but also energy consuming. One way to overcome the drawback is by performing the ethanol steam reforming in situ. In this way, microreactor offers the potential benefit to convert ethanol to hydrogen due to very fast mass and heat transfer. Fluid dynamics inside the microreactors and the kinetic aspects for ethanol steam reforming using Pt/Al2O3 catalyst were investigated with aim to determine the proper microreactor design having uniform fluid distribution and to study the influence of reaction temperature, fluid velocity, and reactor length. It was found that placing an obstacle inside the microreactors in certain position gave more uniform distribution of fluid flow. The reaction temperature and fluid velocity showed their influence on hydrogen productivity.
The Effect of Alternative Fuels on Engine Power and Emissions
Marine engines often use diesel as an alternative fuel to improve the economy. In recent years, waste oil, biodiesel and alcohol fuel are the most famous research directions among the alternative fuels for diesel. With the rapid development of the shipping industry, the air of coastal areas is becoming increasingly polluted. It is now necessary to reduce the emission of marine engines to meet the strict emission regulations. There are many types of alternative fuels for diesel oil and the difference of the fuel may interfere with the engine emissions; however, PM, HC, CO and other emissions will have a negative impact on SCR catalyst. This paper reviews the alternative fuels such as alcohols, waste oils, biodiesel made from vegetable oil and animal oil, and then summarizes and analyzes the influence of different alternative fuels on engine emissions and pollutant formation mechanism. In addition, this paper also summarizes the methods that can effectively reduce the emissions of marine engines; it can provide a reference for the study of diesel alternative fuel and the reduction of marine engine emissions.
Research on Dynamic Response of Hull Foam Aluminum Sandwich Plates under Ice Impact Load
The repeated ice floe impact events on polar ships and offshore structures are very common in ice region. The accumulated plastic deformation of structures under repeated ice impact loadings reflects directly the damage conditions in the structures and is thus an important and convenient parameter in engineering assessment. The aim of this paper is to study the dynamic responses of steel plates subjected to repeated ice impacts based on the experimental and numerical methods. The laboratory repeated impact tests between the steel plates and fresh water ice wedges were carried out by using horizontal impact test machine. For each ice impact test, the collision forces and plastic deformations of steel plates were investigated. Besides, the finite element simulations are conducted to estimate the accumulated plastic deformations of steel plates under repeated ice impacts, which show good agreement with experimental results. Moreover, the energy dissipation of ice and the energy absorption of plate in each ice impact are studied based on numerical results, and the energy criterion of pseudo-shakedown phenomenon has been re-examined for steel plate under identical repeated ice impacts. This paper analyses the plastic deformation accumulation and energy-sharing mechanisms of steel plates subjected to repeated ice impact loadings, which can provide useful information for the evaluation of the structural safety of ice-classed ships.
