In order to improve the operation efficiency of the airport terminal area, a model of paired approach sequencing based on point merge is proposed to investigate the problem of increasing the operation capacity of the closely spaced parallel runways. Taking the minimum average flight delay time as the objective, the flight distance on sequencing legs, wake turbulence separation and paired approach safety separation as constraints, the genetic algorithm is used to optimize the paired approach sequencing of arrival flights. Taking the closely parallel runways of Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport run south as an example, the point merge program is designed and the effect of model was analyzed. The results show that after optimization, the average delay time and average landing time are reduced by 40.6% and 51.8% respectively, the capacity of the closely spaced parallel runways are 1.1 times higher than the actual, the flight uptime rate can reach 100%. It is concluded that the proposed model is feasible, which can effectively reduce delay times and alleviate congestion in terminal areas.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47239,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering-English Edition","volume":"10 5","pages":"Pages 934-946"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71770356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, traditional methods for evaluating road traffic safety based on traffic accidents and conflict technology are limited by their inability to account for the complex environmental factors involved. To address this issue, a new road safety evaluation method has emerged that is based on driving behavior. Because drivers' behaviors may vary depending on the driving environment and their personal characteristics, evaluating road safety from the perspective of driver behavior has become a popular research topic. This paper analyzes current research trends and mainstream journals in the field of road safety evaluation of driving behavior. Additionally, it reviews the three most commonly used driving behavior data collection methods, and compares the advantages and disadvantages of each. The paper proposes the main application scenarios of road safety evaluation methods based on driving behavior, such as road design, evaluation of the effects of road appurtenances, and intelligent highways. Furthermore, the paper summarizes a driving behavior index system based on vehicle data, driver's physiological and psychological data, and driver's subjective questionnaire data. A comprehensive evaluation method based on the fusion of each index system is presented in detail.

Studies on driver behavior of commercial vehicles such as trucks are scattered widely and scarcely explored hindering the possibility of road safety outcomes. This underscores the need to excavate and synthesize the past studies for an effective understanding of human factors causing truck crashes. In this paper, an attempt has been made to systematically review the pieces of literature and to identify the causative factors affecting truck driver behavior. The trend of studies shows a promising framework for improving truck driver safety on taking care of human factors influencing crashes.

This paper develops a conceptual model of the interactions amongst institutions of government (state and local), organisations (national research institutes and universities), and civil society (the consulting industry, lobby groups and community action groups). The model is implemented through a series of unstructured interviews with key players involved with research and advocacy, capacity building, and state government policy makers that determined: who was responsible for the governance of LATM schemes? What were the respective roles of institutions and organisations in relation to the early formulation of policies and plans, especially issues of authority? Who were the key players in these institutions and organisations? To what extent did external influences of ideas by overseas agents (policy transfer) occur in decision making? A recently implemented LATM scheme (Seven Ways) by Waverley Council describes the latest approaches, including community participation. The conclusions note the importance of a society investing in road research, having universities capable of delivering high-quality professional development programs, and having a consulting industry that is willing to deliver innovative, practical advice to local governments.

Consequently, to derive valuable insights from transportation big data, it is essential to leverage the Hadoop big data platform for analysis and mining. To summarize the latest research progress on the application of Hadoop to transportation big data, we conducted a comprehensive review of 98 relevant articles published from 2012 to the present. Firstly, a bibliometric analysis was performed using VOSviewer software to identify the evolution trend of keywords. Secondly, we introduced the core components of Hadoop. Subsequently, we systematically reviewed the 98 articles, identified the latest research progress, and classified the main application scenarios of Hadoop and its optimization framework. Based on our analysis, we identified the research gaps and future work in this area. Our review of the available research highlights that Hadoop has played a significant role in transportation big data research over the past decade. Specifically, the focus has been on transportation infrastructure monitoring, taxi operation management, travel feature analysis, traffic flow prediction, transportation big data analysis platform, traffic event monitoring and status discrimination, license plate recognition, and the shortest path. Additionally, the optimization framework of Hadoop has been studied in two main areas: the optimization of the computational model of Hadoop and the optimization of Hadoop combined with Spark. Several research results have been achieved in the field of transportation big data. However, there is less systematic research on the core technology of Hadoop, and the breadth and depth of the integration development of Hadoop and transportation big data are not sufficient. In the future, it is suggested that Hadoop may be combined with other big data frameworks such as Storm and Flink that process real-time data sources to improve the real-time processing and analysis of transportation big data. Simultaneously, the research on multi-source heterogeneous transportation big data is still a key focus. Improving existing big data technology to enable the analysis and even data compression of transportation big data can lead to new breakthroughs for intelligent transportation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47239,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering-English Edition","volume":"10 5","pages":"Pages 900-917"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71770845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our first approach was to use a ranking formula to calculate intersection rankings using a score between 0 and 10 by considering data for different times of the day and different days of the week, weighting weekdays more heavily than weekends and morning and evening commute times more heavily than other times of day. The second method was to utilize unsupervised machine learning algorithms, primarily <em>k</em>-means clustering, to accomplish the intersection ranking task. We first approach this by checking the performance of basic <em>k</em>-means clustering on our data set.
