To address this issue, we presented a novel quantitative detection method for droplets on physical surfaces, based on Laser-Induced Fluorescence (LIF) technique. The proposed detection method was demonstrated in a realistic high-speed train compartment scenario by simulating the process of droplet release during passengers' breathing and coughing. The experimental results showed that this method could offer high precision (10−1 mg/m2) for detecting minute substance concentrations, and its ease of operation makes it suitable for complex engineering environments. The results also revealed that under the combined effects of the indoor airflow and breathing airflow, the range of droplets released by breathing activity exceeded two rows in front and behind the release position. Simultaneously, we observed that a large number of droplets settled on the seat surfaces on both sides of the same row as the releaser, with over 36% of these droplets concentrated on the backrest area of the seats. As the respiratory jet velocity increased, the location with the most sediment droplets (accounting for 8% of the total sedimentation) occurred on the seat directly in front of the releaser, and approximately 48% of the droplets were found on the back of this seat. Our proposed method overcomes the shortcomings of existing experimental methods in quantitatively capturing the motion characteristics of droplets in complex flow fields.","PeriodicalId":52804,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Safety and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45887025","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}

As a result, it is crucial to identify the status of drivers when exposed to different noises. However, such explorations are rarely discussed with short-term physiological indicators, especially for rail transit drivers. In this study, an experiment involving 42 railway transit drivers was conducted with a driving simulator to assess the impact of noise on drivers’ physiological responses. Considering the individuals’ heterogeneity, this study introduced drivers’ noise annoyance to measure their self-noise-adaption. The variances of drivers’ heart rate variability (HRV) along with different noise adaptions are explored when exposed to different noise conditions. Several machine learning approaches (Support Vector Machines, K-nearest Neighbors, and Random Forests) were then used to classify their physiological status under different noise conditions according to the HRV and drivers’ self-noise adaptions. Results indicate that the volume of traffic noise negatively affects drivers’ performance in their routines. Drivers with different noise adaptions but exposed to a fixed noise were found with discrepant HRV, demonstrating that noise adaption is highly associated with drivers’ physiological status under noises. It is also found that noise adaption inclusion could raise the accuracy of classifications. Overall, the Random Forests classifier performed the best in identifying the physiological status when exposed to noise conditions for drivers with different noise adaptions.","PeriodicalId":52804,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Safety and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47075315","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}

Improper lane-changing behavior often leads to traffic accidents. Numerous studies are currently being conducted to predict lane change trajectories to minimize dangers.

This study proposes a LC trajectory prediction model based on a multi-task deep learning framework to improve driving safety. Concretely, in this work, the coupling effect of lateral and longitudinal movement is considered in the LC process. Trajectory changes in two directions will be modeled separately, and the information interaction is completed under the multi-task learning framework. In addition, the trajectory fragments are clustered by the driving features, and trajectory type recognition is added to the trajectory prediction framework as an auxiliary task. Finally, the prediction process of lateral and longitudinal trajectory and LC style is completed by Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). The model training and testing are conducted with the data collected by the driving simulator, and that the proposed method expresses better performance in the LC trajectory prediction compared with several traditional models.

The range of the windshield inclination angle was set to 24°–50°, with an interval of 2°. The results show that the windshield angle significantly affects the pedestrian kinematics and exerts different effects on the head injury when evaluating with various head injury criteria. Regarding the head peak linear/rotational acceleration and acceleration-based criteria head injury criterion (HIC)/rotational injury criterion (RIC), the predictions at the secondary impact stage have no clear relationship with the windshield angle (R2 = 0.04, 0.07, 0.03 and 0.26, respectively), and their distributions are scattered. In the primary impact, the peak linear acceleration and HIC show a weak trend of first decreasing and then increasing with the increasing of the windshield angle, and the rotational acceleration and RIC tend to remain relatively constant. Regarding the cumulative strain damage measure (CSDM) criterion, the predictions at the primary impact are slightly lower than those at the secondary impact, and the trend of first decreasing and then increasing with the increase in the windshield angle is observed at both impact stages.

To collect the data, an online questionnaire survey was implemented at Shenzhen University, and 514 students participated. Based on the samples, the multinomial logit model is used to explore the contribution of all variables. The model results showed that personal attributes such as gender and age had no significant effect on the attitude of college students toward carpooling. The safety of carpooling and the high cost of carpooling make college students have a neutral attitude towards carpooling. The most concerning factor for college students in carpooling is the comfort of carpooling.
