After dilution, the filling effect of the grout is not significant, and the level of surface settlement is very high. In this study, based on bidding section 04 of Tianjin Metro Line 11, traditional grouting materials were selected to conduct response surface method (RSM) tests. The purposes of the RSM analysis were to analyze the interactions between materials and their influences on grout performance and to optimize the grout mix ratio. Various admixtures were compared to assess the effects of different admixtures and compositions on the dispersion resistance and flow performance of the grout. Finally, a shield synchronous grouting test system was developed, and a similar indoor grouting simulation test was performed to analyze the influences of the different admixtures on the filling effects and to determine a reasonable grout mix ratio. The following three results were obtained. (1) The RSM was suitable for grout performance prediction and grout mix ratio optimization, and hydroxyethyl cellulose could improve the grout performance and increase the bond performance between the cementing material and aggregate. (2) Admixture incorporation enhancement could improve the grout utilization rate and increase the diffusion distance at the top of the tunnel, which would be conducive to filling the gap at the tail end of the shield. (3) The optimal preparation scheme of grout in water-rich fine sand formations included a water–binder ratio of 0.72, cement–sand ratio of 0.80, fly ash content of 5%, bentonite content of 14.94%, and admixture content of 0.8%–0.9%","PeriodicalId":23279,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Record","volume":" 20","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135242041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system’s development was motivated in part by recommendations of a safety inspection by the Federal Transportation Administration, and the realization that the MBTA has access to vest amounts of data that are not being used to create information effectively. The developers reduced the complexity of the BI system by incorporating analytics to determine the areas of focus where safety has the most impact. Challenges were posed by the need to integrate internal and external databases with various formats and structures, and the desire to create a self-service BI solution for multiple MBTA users. The resulting BI solution includes applications that support key performance indicator analyses, root cause investigations, and targeted improvement actions. These applications represent an enhanced approach that combines data for a more holistic analysis and eliminates the need to transfer datasets or data analyses by email. The system includes various forms of visualizations to help users navigate the myriad of information, including geospatial maps, interactive pie, line, and bar charts, and word frequency and relationship mapping. The paper details the system’s development and how analytical approaches were used to expose important information that is hidden in the data. Examples of applications are shown using screenshots and a general workflow is presented that could be applicable to agencies with fewer resources.","PeriodicalId":23279,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Record","volume":"172 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135241844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A mileage-based user fee has been frequently proposed in the literature as an alternative that would offer greater benefits to rural and low-income populations than to urban and higher-income populations. However, most prior analyses relied on small data sets and aggregated data. This study examined the impact of replacing the Vermont state fuels tax with a revenue-neutral, mileage-based user fee using mileage and fuel economy data for over 300,000 registered passenger vehicles. We found that, on average, Vermont households would pay an additional $23 per year, with rural households and low-income households facing smaller tax burdens than their urban and high-income counterparts. The impact of a $180 flat fee replacing the Vermont state motor fuels tax was also examined owing to state interest. Findings indicated that a flat fee would result in much larger price fluctuations, with most households paying an additional $47 per year. The disaggregated data approach presented here directly addresses public misconceptions of inequitable cost differences and provides context for public education campaigns to garner mileage-based user fee policy support. Based on our results, there is political ground for further research into the implementation of a mileage-based user fee, including the logistics of an administrative transition to mileage charging and the associated program implementation and technological costs.","PeriodicalId":23279,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Record","volume":"227 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135242169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A multi-objective mixed-integer linear programming model is introduced, incorporating practical factors such as time windows, partial recharge policy, load-dependent discharge, infection risk, and trips to waste disposal facilities. Our proposed method, a combination of the multi-objective evolutionary algorithm using decomposition (MOEA/D) with adaptive large neighborhood search (ALNS) and local search (LS) techniques, is referred to as MOEA/D-ALNS. This method demonstrates superior performance compared with the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm, NSGA-II, modified MOEA/D and MOEA/D-LNS in benchmark instances with realistic assumptions. Our experimental results revealed an inverse correlation between energy consumption and risk objectives. Sensitivity analyses showed that eliminating time-window constraints results in more energy-efficient and safer routes while maintaining a slightly lower battery energy level can strike an ideal balance between energy consumption, risk, and battery health. This research contributes to the understanding of infectious medical waste management with its consideration of electric vehicles and waste disposal. It lays a solid foundation for future studies aiming to improve the sustainability and efficiency of medical waste routing practices.","PeriodicalId":23279,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Record","volume":" 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135286285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aiming at the difficulty in capturing dynamic spatio-temporal complexity of traffic flow, a dynamic spatio-temporal transformer (DST-Trans) model capable of modeling dynamic correlation of traffic flow is proposed, which consists of gated temporal convolutional network (GTCN), graph convolutional network (GCN), and spatio-temporal transformer (ST-TF). GTCN and GCN are utilized to capture the temporal and spatial characteristics of traffic flow, respectively. ST-TF includes a temporal transformer using temporal gated convolution and temporal multi-head self-attention to capture short-long term temporal features, and spatial transformer using spatial gated graph convolution and spatial multi-head self-attention to capture local-global dynamic spatial features. In addition, to take full advantage of the dynamic and static associations of road networks, multi-graph models of road relationship graph, similarity graph, and adaptive dynamic graph with SGGC are constructed. Experimental results show that the DST-Trans model in this paper shows good prediction performance in short-term (15 min), medium-term (30 min), and long-term (60 min) prediction, outperforming existing state-of-the-art models by up to approximately 7%.","PeriodicalId":23279,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Record","volume":" 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135242351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the choice of different mobility tools is interdependent, and individuals weigh alternatives against each other. This process of parallel trade-offs is currently not reflected in typically used sequential logit models of agent-based travel demand models. This study fills this research gap by applying discrete choice and neural network models on a synthetic population to model multiple mobility tool ownership simultaneously. Using data from a national household travel survey, both model types approximated the given target distributions of mobility tools more accurately than the sequence of three corresponding logit models. Owing to its greater flexibility, the tested shallow and deep neural network exhibited higher predictive accuracy than simultaneous discrete choice models. The results indicated that neural networks with only one hidden layer were more robust and easier to formulate and interpret than deep networks with three hidden layers. Finally, the flat neural network was applied to a different synthetic population resulting in equally accurate results.","PeriodicalId":23279,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Record","volume":"124 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135243000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, existing autonomous driving behavior decision control algorithms based on deep reinforcement learning face several challenges, such as low efficiency in updating target network data and a lack of effective balancing between old and new experiences. To address these issues, this paper proposes a dueling double deep Q network (dueling DDQN) algorithm based on a single-step momentum update mechanism. Firstly, a single-step momentum update mechanism is designed to significantly improve the update speed of target network parameters and achieve a balanced weighting of old and new experiences during the parameter update process. Subsequently, the network structures of dueling networks and DDQNs are integrated to enhance the understanding capability of autonomous vehicles concerning their current states. Finally, tests are conducted on the OpenAI Gym simulation platform to validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The results verified that the dueling DDQN algorithm with single-step momentum updates contributes to improving the convergence speed of autonomous driving car behavior decisions. Compared with the DQN and DDQN algorithms, the proposed algorithm achieved a success rate increase of 6.0 and 8.4 percentage points in the challenging three-lane highway Test Scenario 1, and a success rate increase of 16.7 and 2.9 percentage points in Test Scenario 2, respectively. These findings demonstrate a safer and more efficient performance in autonomous driving decision-making.","PeriodicalId":23279,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Research Record","volume":"43 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135480285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The scope of the work also included performing the multiple stress creep and recovery test on the extracted and recovered binders. The results were applied to assess the monotonic tests and the asphalt pavement analyzer (APA) test relative to each other using several performance metrics. The results were also employed to develop performance threshold criteria for the tests being considered. The results showed that the IDT-HT and RR tests can be used to screen the rutting potential of asphalt mixtures meeting the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) mixture volumetric and gradation requirements for A and D mixtures.
