Show Abstract ( 90 )
Using UDEC discrete element method (DEM) and field monitoring method, the influence rules of slope height, slope angle and excavation stage on the stress field, displacement field and stability safety factor of high steep slope during excavation process were investigated. Research shows that: (1) The slope displacement and maximum principal stress gradually decrease and increase from the face (top) to the bottom of slope and from the middle (lower) part of the final excavation face to both sides of slope respectively, and the maximum displacement and stress increase and decrease with the increase of slope height (angle) respectively (decrease and basically remain unchanged with the increase of excavation stages respectively). (2) The curve of slope shoulder (top) displacement versus excavation times can be roughly divided into three development stages, i.e., the early stage of steep increase, the middle stage of gradual increase and the later stage of gentle decline (slope shoulder), gentle decline-steep increase or steep drop-slow increase (slope top). (3) Under the same slope height (angle) or excavation stages, the safety factor of slope stability first increases and then decreases with the increase of excavation times, and it decreases with the increase of slope height (angle) under the same excavation times (increases with the increase of excavation stages). (4) The results of numerical simulation reveal the real-time stress and deformation state of high steep slope in the process of multi-stage excavation, which is in good agreement with the field monitoring results. It is suggested that dynamic information design, construction and monitoring should be adopted for multi-stage high steep slope excavation engineering.

Show Abstract ( 59 )
Aiming at the problem of the corrosion law of the suspension bridge main cable steel wire under status of holding force, a set of electrolytic accelerated corrosion test device with preload was designed. The electrolytic accelerated corrosion test of the main cable steel wire of the suspension bridge in the state of holding force suspension bridge main cable steel wire under status of holding force was carried out. A total of 60 steel wires with diameter 5.25mm were selected under four working conditions of 0, 1000, 2000 and 3000με. The quality and diameter of steel wire after 0-4 days of electrolysis accelerated corrosion were measured. Also the change law of the average mass loss rate and cross-sectional loss rate of the main cable steel wire with strain and time growth was discussed. The results of the tests showed that with the increase of strain level and corrosion time, the corrosion of steel wire under the stress state is more obvious, the fluctuation of local characterization is more intense, and the corrosion presents a nonlinear growth trend. The mass loss of the steel wire with 3000 με after four days of accelerated electrolytic corrosion is similar to the 420 days test result of natural corrosion, and the change trend is consistent. Under accelerated corrosion conditions, the average mass loss rate of steel wire with 3000 με after four days of accelerated electrolytic corrosion is 6.40 times that of one day. At the same time, the average mass loss rate of steel wire with 3 000 με after one to four days of accelerated electrolytic corrosion are 1.17 times, 1.22 times, 2.27 times and 3.02 times than 2000 με respectively. The maximum section loss rate increases with the increase of strain and time, and it has a good correlation with the two variables. Therefore, the maximum section loss rate can be considered as the core intermediate variable to measure the corrosion grade of main cable steel wire.

Show Abstract ( 129 )
The plane interchange adopts the form and traffic organization mode of alfalfa leaf interchange, that is, by adding right turn ramps and small loops on the 4 corners of the ordinary grade intersection, it is similar to alfalfa leaf interchange in form. Because of its low engineering cost, flexible traffic organization, simple control mode and high traffic efficiency, it has become one of the selection types of urban expressway and main road or main road and main road intersection. According to the geometric characteristics and traffic organization characteristics of plane interchange, and the evaluation objectives of intersection operation efficiency, safety, environment and other aspects, an index system based on 5 specific evaluation indicators is proposed, including traffic capacity, average vehicle delay, intersection safety, CO emission, and detour distance. To overcome the subjective or objective situation of the index weight in the process of multi index evaluation, the TOPSIS method is optimized by using combined weighting, and the traffic organization evaluation model of plane interchange based on combined weighting TOPSIS method is constructed. Taking the 3 traffic organization modes of the West Middle Ring Auxiliary Road and Xinghua West Street plane interchange in Taiyuan as an example, in continuous working days, traffic data are obtained through intersection flow direction investigation, point sample delay investigation, headway and speed investigation, VISSIM intersection simulation model is established, and the evaluation index values are obtained directly or indirectly. The advantages and disadvantages of various schemes are determined through the combined weighting-TOPSIS method proposed in this paper. The calculation results are compared with the actual situation, which verifies the rationality of the method. The result can provide theoretical support for the rational evaluation of the urban plane interchange traffic organization or the regional traffic organization scheme using this idea.

In order to solve the problem that parking space is hard to find in expressway service area, and provide accurate parking space information and effective parking guidance, a strategy of parking space occupancy recognition based on MobileNet and intelligent parking guidance is proposed. On the basis of detailed analysis of parking status and existing problems in expressway service area, this paper puts forward the classification strategy of intelligent parking guidance in service area, and builds the technical route of parking space recognition based on AI vision. Firstly, taking the high-grade video and low-grade video in the service area as the detection data sources, the lightweight MobileNet classification model is used to analyze the parking space occupancy in real time, so as to provide accurate and reliable information of the spare and occupied parking space in the parking area; Secondly, through the three-grade guidance screen, the three-grade parking guidance of main line preview guidance, entrance total capacity guidance and parking space guidance by vehicle type is realized, so that travelers can have a comprehensive understanding of parking space occupancy in the service area in advance. In order to verify the effectiveness of intelligent parking guidance classification strategy, a highway service area in North China is selected for field verification. The results show that the recognition accuracy of parking space occupancy recognition model based on MobileNet is 98.0% under sufficient illumination during the day and 90.0% at night; During peak holidays, the total travel time of vehicles due to congestion and waiting in service areas is reduced by about 7%, which can save 20% ~ 30% of the time for finding parking spaces compared with the time for finding parking spaces in traditional service areas. Therefore, the proposed parking space occupancy recognition based on MobileNet and intelligent parking guidance strategy can significantly improve the practical problems in the service area, meet the parking demand of the public to the maximum extent, relieve the parking pressure during peak hours, and improve the traffic capacity of the service area.

In order to study the influence of road geometric parameters such as curve, super-elevation and slope on the longitudinal and lateral coordinated control of intelligent and connected platoon, a cooperative control system using the longitudinal velocity of the vehicle as the coupled variable of the longitudinal and lateral motion is designed. The upper acceleration model of longitudinal car-following control adopted the improved intelligent driver model to reflect the influence of road geometric parameters on the car-following behavior. Combined with the inverse longitudinal dynamics model to realize the speed following of the guided vehicle. The lateral trajectory control adopted the single-point preview model in which the preview distance follows the coupling speed change to realize the trajectory tracking of the guided vehicle, and the sliding mode controller is designed to improve trajectory tracking accuracy. The Carsim/Simulink co-simulation platform was built, then acceleration-deceleration, double shifting line and ramp conditions were adopted to verify longitudinal, lateral and cooperative control performance of the cooperative control system. The results show that (1) The longitudinal and lateral cooperative control system has good longitudinal car-following performance and high lateral trajectory tracking accuracy, it maintains high tracking accuracy for the speed and acceleration of the guided vehicle. The distance between vehicles is positively correlated with speed changes, and the inter-vehicle distance tends to be stable when the speed is stable. Meanwhile, the steering angle of the control system has a high consistency with the Carsim's built-in model, and the steering is smooth. The lateral offset is less than 0.2 meters, and the control system with sliding mode control has higher trajectory tracking accuracy. (2) The intelligent and connected platoon composed of the coordinated control system based on the IIDM has more obvious longitudinal and lateral response to the road geometric parameters than the platoon of the IDM. The specific performance is that the deceleration behavior is more obvious, the inter-vehicle distance increase by 0.55 meters, the steering angle reduce and average lateral offsets reduce by 2.51×10-6 meters, which is more conducive to the overall safety of the platoon.

Show Abstract ( 127 )
The co-agglomeration between manufacturing industry and logistics industry is the main spatial manifestation of the coordinated linkage and integrated development of the two industries, and it is also a standard to test whether the linkage and integrated development of the two industries is effective. In the traditional new economic geography model, when the logistics cost is exogenous, the description of the formation conditions of the two industries' co-agglomeration is vague and difficult to quantify. The logistics sector is introduced into the agglomeration model as an independent sector, by establishing the linkage relationship between the average variable cost of logistics industry and the degree of agglomeration of manufacturing industry through industrial correlation, the endogenous treatment of logistics cost is realized; According to the degree of regional manufacturing agglomeration and the possible forms of two industry agglomeration, the average variable cost of logistics enterprises is solved, and the formation and evolution conditions of co-agglomeration of logistics industry and manufacturing industry under the condition of endogenous logistics cost are obtained. Through theoretical derivation and numerical simulation, it is found that the formation of co-agglomeration of manufacturing and logistics industry in a region is affected by two thresholds of logistics average variable costs, and the higher the degree of agglomeration of manufacturing industry in the region, the greater the interval width of two thresholds for complementary agglomeration and the smaller interval width of two thresholds for extruding agglomeration; when the logistics average variable costs is in the range between two thresholds, the degree of manufacturing and logistics industrial co-agglomeration is being U-shaped relationship with the manufacturing agglomeration, otherwise inverted U-shaped relationship. This study is helpful to grasp the general rules of the formation and evolution of the co-agglomeration of manufacturing and logistics industry. It provides theoretical support for promoting the deep integration of the two industries, ensuring the stability of the industrial chain and supply chain and high-quality economic development.
