However, with the advancement of force transferring rod construction technology, concrete with ratio and construction control of the influence of the force transmission rod actual spatial location and design of the location will inevitably produce some deviations. Given that such deviation will rapidly reduce the transfer capability of the board, the deviation of the transmission rod must be controlled in the construction process. However, basic data on the transmission rod are lacking. To this end, this paper conducts an experiment in the Beihei Expressway in Heilongjiang Province using MITSCAN2, and the test results are compared with the actual test data of two highways in the US and Canada. Some technical measures for improving the deviation of the transmission rod in the construction process are then proposed based on the detection and analysis results.","PeriodicalId":288169,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Highway and Transportation Research and Development","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131381900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It conducts a comparative analysis of the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) and Japan 10-15. This study selects passenger cars in Harbin as study objects and uses GPS to analyze the data of their driving cycle and divide the collected data curves into several short segments. Then, 11 of the most representative parameters are identified to reduce and classify data by conducting principal component analysis and cluster analysis. The relative coefficient is used to extract representative driving segments. The analysis shows that the average speed of passenger cars in Harbin is approximately 15 km/h, which is lower than the conditions set in NEDC and Japan 10-15, with acceleration and deceleration speed parameters at 33.57% and 29.70%, respectively, but higher than the relative parameters in NEDC and Japan 10-15. Comparative results of characteristic parameters show that existing road parameter conditions in Europe and Japan evidently differ from those in Harbin. Driving conditions based on running data can accurately reflect local operating characteristics. This study can serve as an important reference for the design optimization, matching calculation, and control strategy optimization of new energy automobile power systems.","PeriodicalId":288169,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Highway and Transportation Research and Development","volume":"183 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121727126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The simulation considered the attenuation of the shear strength of expansive soil due to rainfall, evaporation, and other long-term atmospheric weathering actions in combination with shear strength parameters determined by a laboratory-measured expansive soil nonlinear strength envelope. Results showed that the geogrid can effectively restrain horizontal slope displacement and decrease the soil expansion softening effect to a certain extent, such that the sliding surface of the slope became deep. The change in maximum axial force was small due to a change in interface strength parameters between the geogrid and soil, but the safety factor increased with the increase in maximum axial force. The changes in maximum axial force along the height for different geogrid reinforcement spacing values were basically similar; the values increased initially and then decreased. Small reinforcement spacing equated to a small maximum value. The stability of the expansive soil slope was significantly influenced by reinforcement spacing; small spacing meant good slope stability. The enveloped geogrid indirectly improved the safety, resistance to erosion, and integrity of the slope.","PeriodicalId":288169,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Highway and Transportation Research and Development","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127916193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Airfield cement concrete pavements have unique in-service conditions, and the sealants in these environments are not only exposed to climatic effects and heavy traffic loads but also to jet fuel and fluids. By analyzing the causes of damage and selecting four types of typical joint sealing materials for cement concrete pavements in civil airports (e.g., silicone, polyurethane, polysulfide, and polythiourethane), the basic physical properties, adhesion, and resistance of these materials are tested. By combining the experimental results with the relevant technical specifications and standards at home and abroad, these materials are divided into high elastic modulus and low elastic modulus based on 23℃ tensile modulus. The surface drying time, cone penetration, elastic recovery rate, tensile modulus, low temperature tensile elongation, tensile bond, fuel immersion characteristics, resistance to heat ageing, and flame resistant properties of these materials are used as performance indices and provide a technical reference for the construction of airport cement concrete pavements.","PeriodicalId":288169,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Highway and Transportation Research and Development","volume":"262 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121701199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relationship between dynamic stability and rutting depth on the main lane is analyzed. The dynamic stability control criteria, which are dynamic stabilities corresponding to 15 mm rut depth, to fit the traffic volumes of different sections are determined. The accumulative equivalent axles of different sections are collected and calculated. The relationship between the dynamic stability control criterion of each section and its accumulative equivalent axle is analyzed to obtain a fitting equation. A dynamic stability control criterion for the asphalt pavement structure at heavy traffic level is suggested based on this fitting equation.

Vehicle conflicts are calculated and predicted based on the position and speed of vehicles that are located within the range of the communication by connected vehicle technology. First, the safety hazard of the merge area is analyzed. Second, the time range of the ramp truck to reach the merge area is calculated according to the characteristics of the truck. The speed range in which main road vehicles can reach the merge area is calculated using the same time range as that in the ramp vehicle. The optimal main road vehicle speed is recommended in the area to avoid possible conflicts in terms of safety and efficiency.

Then, facing the compound traffic network structure of urban agglomeration, both the different attack strategies and the measures of the vulnerability of a city agglomeration compound traffic network were proposed. Finally, taking Hohhot-Baotou-Erdos city agglomeration as an example of our empirical study, the city agglomeration road network and rail transit network were formed, and the topology characteristics and vulnerability of the compound traffic network were analyzed to identify critical sites and lines within the network. Results show that the construction of urban agglomeration compound traffic network can effectively reduce the vulnerability of a single-mode network.

On the basis of the high mobility of nodes and the vast frequent changes of the network topology of ad hoc networks, this study proposed an improved greedy perimeter stateless routing with speed-density direction (GPSR-SD) routing protocol, which is based on the GPSR protocol. The proposed routing protocol is combined with the speed-density model to estimate the density information of a vehicle node traveling on a road. It considers the traveling speed of the vehicle node and the density of the road to select the next hop forwarding node and improve the selection of the forwarding node, thereby increasing communication reliability. The proposed routing protocol can effectively reduce the hole phenomena caused by the movement of the node, improve the average packet delivery ratio, and reduce average end-to-end delay. Simulation results of the NS2 platform indicate that GPSR-SD performs well.","PeriodicalId":288169,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Highway and Transportation Research and Development","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130926158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
