The OBEAS-3000 vehicle exhaust gas detector was used to collect the instantaneous emission rate of motor vehicle exhaust at different speeds and accelerations in field experiments. Based on the data, the effects of speed and acceleration rate on the emission rate of different exhaust gases by partial correlation methods were analyzed. Results show that there are potential interactions between acceleration and velocity effects at different gas emission rates and emission ratios. At different stages of the velocity and acceleration, the proportions of CO and HC emissions are significantly different, but the proportion of NOX changes little. At the low-velocity stage, emission ratios of CO and HC have no significant changes in different acceleration stages. In the mid-speed driving phase, the CO emission ratio is positively correlated with the acceleration, whereas the HC emission ratio is negatively correlated with the acceleration. During the high-velocity driving period, CO and HC emission ratios have no significant change in different acceleration stages. The results provide theoretical supports for establishing accurate emission models for various gases.","PeriodicalId":325712,"journal":{"name":"2019 5th International Conference on Transportation Information and Safety (ICTIS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129304734","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 road construction work inevitably leads to an increased number of work zones on highways, creating more hazardous situations for drivers. This is the reason highway agencies are shifting towards night construction work in order to reduce the traffic impacts on the public. Nighttime traffic is commonly characterized by lower traffic volumes, higher speeds and reduced visibility, but there are only a few studies providing valuable results on nighttime work zone crashes. Data from long-term Egyptian highway work zone projects that occurred between 2010 and 2016 are investigated and the injury severity of nighttime crashes is modeled by a mixed multinomial logit model. The estimation procedure indicates that the speeding factor is best modeled by a random variable. From investigation of the model parameters and their pseudo-elasticity, the influence of a wide range of risk factors on injury severity can be assessed and interpreted in terms of driving conditions. It is found that highly influential factors increasing the crash fatality risk include weather conditions (rain) and driver characteristics, such as gender and age group. Additional risk factors are vehicle type (passenger cars or heavy vehicles) and work zones with multiple lane closures.","PeriodicalId":325712,"journal":{"name":"2019 5th International Conference on Transportation Information and Safety (ICTIS)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123693685","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}

At present, however, there is a lack of research on the interference between vehicles and pedestrians in the drop-off area. To deal with the problem of interference between vehicles and pedestrians, this paper proposes an interference model based on cellular automata between vehicles and pedestrians in the drop-off area. The model mainly consists of a parking model and a motion model for vehicles, and a decision model and a motion model for pedestrians. The model is calibrated by the traffic flow in the drop-off area of Beijingxi Railway Station, after which the traffic characteristics of the drop-off area are analyzed: Traffic volume increases with the increase of vehicle arrival rate, and then the trend gradually tends to be steady to 1 090 pcu/h; vehicles in the outside lane have a greater influence on traffic volume in this area; the probability of conflict event on the unsignalized crosswalks in the drop-off area is about 5.13%; the delay of the outside lane vehicle is smaller than vehicle of the inboard lane, and the pedestrian delay is not simply multiplied as the number of crossing lanes increases.","PeriodicalId":325712,"journal":{"name":"2019 5th International Conference on Transportation Information and Safety (ICTIS)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132752495","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}

They may have potential threat to air traffic safety. In order to analyze the effect characteristics of them on control performance, nine indices were defined and analyzed. A control simulation experiment was designed to collect 22 participants’ control performance data and the data of 19 participants were collected successfully. Four states, sober (SO), fatigue (FA), stress (ST) and fatigue & stress (FS), were designed. According to training regulations of air traffic controllers, nine indices were designed and analyzed, including the average of reaction time (RT_AVG), the standard deviation of reaction time (RT_SD), radiotelephony communication (RC), checking equipment (CE), flight progress strip (FPS), safety awareness (SAA), safety interval (SAI), instruction moment (IM), situation awareness (SIA). Based on the experiment process record of controllers, RT was calculated and the other indices was graded according to specific rule. The analysis results showed that all the indices except CE and SAA were significantly different among the four states. The performance of RT_AVG, RT_SD, RC, IM and SIA of controllers was impaired by fatigue significantly. Under the influence of stress, RT_SD, RC, FPS, SI, IM and SIA became worse. All the indices except CE and SAA were different significantly in FS state compared with SO state. The results indicate that both fatigue and stress can impair control performance in several aspects. Fatigue mainly makes controllers’ execution speed slower and less consideration about the situation. Stress leads to more control mistakes or disorders. These findings are expected to support the recognition of control states and improve the optimization of air traffic controller management.","PeriodicalId":325712,"journal":{"name":"2019 5th International Conference on Transportation Information and Safety (ICTIS)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123674205","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 results show that the most influential factors which contribute to crashes are gender, road character, number of lane closures, and age.

Primary data was collected from a survey from Chinese pilots working at Shanghai port, and a total of 306 collected surveys was analyzed. The study shows that hazardous attitudes have a significant effect on the safety behavior of maritime pilots, and the degree of risk tolerance plays a significant moderating role in this process. If the value of hazardous attitudes of maritime pilots is higher than an average level, his/her safety operational behavior will gradually degrade with the increased degree of risk tolerance. If the value of hazardous attitudes is lower than the average level, the behavior will gradually be safer with the decreased degree of risk tolerance.","PeriodicalId":325712,"journal":{"name":"2019 5th International Conference on Transportation Information and Safety (ICTIS)","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114060886","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}

Therefore, recognition and prediction of vessel motions require effective representations for analysis and clustering of motion trajectories. While short-term motion prediction of moving object is largely achievable, long-term prediction is more useful given the restricted maneuverability of vessels since a vessel cannot abruptly stop, turn or reverse as a land vehicle does. To this end, we propose in this study a long-term vessel motion prediction approach based on a combined trajectory classification and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks framework. As a measure for the similarity between trajectories, we introduce the longest common subsequence (LCS) algorithm to define trajectory similarity when making DBSCAN clustering. The grouped trajectories representing various motion patterns are further modeled via LSTM networks, in which vessel trajectory data are formed by regressing relative motion against current position and then the iterative prediction is applied for long-term prediction. We use the proposed approach for classifying and predicting motions in vessel traffic monitoring domains and test on real AIS data. Experiments show the benefit of this approach for long-term motion predication where parametric models such as Kalman Filters would perform poorly.","PeriodicalId":325712,"journal":{"name":"2019 5th International Conference on Transportation Information and Safety (ICTIS)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127914527","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 risk of accidents and risk of sustaining severe injuries or death increase with the reduction of gap between the vehicle and the pedestrian casualty. Hence, the closest the pedestrian is from the vehicle the more likely he/she will sustain sever injuries or die. Researchers have assessed the impact of an accident by passenger cars and light goods vehicles on pedestrian, but they overlooked the impact of heavy goods vehicles. For roads with relatively high percentage of heavy goods vehicles in the traffic flow, an investigation of the risk of losing human lives and high expenses due to accidents is beneficial.
