In various Trenitalia rolling stock, used for the regional transport of travelers, there are old and obsolete battery charger devices and there are lead acid batteries that need frequent maintenance operations to be kept efficient. These components, due to their low reliability, are the source of serious disruptions to passenger transport, and the management of their maintenance involves high costs for Trenitalia. In order to solve these problems, Trenitalia has therefore decided to invest resources to develop a new system of integrated power supplies and batteries, therefore the BALIN has been developed. The main advantages of BALIN compared to the original components are the presence of a high energy efficiency battery charger designed to operate in a wide range of temperatures and the presence of sealed lead-acid batteries without maintenance with a life exceeding 6 years. The BALIN is able to disconnect its own batteries from the carriage electrical circuits. The BALIN battery charger also implements an intelligent battery management logic and thanks to the interface with the command and control signals present on the rolling stock, the batteries are isolated from the carriage electric load automatically when the train is off and the service it's over. Another important automatic feature of the BALIN is to protect its batteries from deep discharge, in fact the power supply from the batteries to the electric carriage loads is interrupted when the voltage reaches 21 V. The characteristics mentioned go towards the reduction of the charge/discharge cycles of batteries and contribute to increasing the reliability and durability of batteries throughout the entire life of the rolling stock.","PeriodicalId":62390,"journal":{"name":"交通与运输工程:英文版","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46994170","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}

Current specification for testing petroleum asphalt binders for transverse and low temperature cracking is not elaborate enough to accurately model the engineering behaviour of the binders. Besides, neat asphalt derived from petroleum crude oil does not seem to perform well at certain low temperatures without some modification to it. Thus, a study was to be undertaken to determine the low temperature behaviour of 60-70 penetration neat binder modified with traditionally used materials such as Crushed Lime Stone Powder (CLP), Hydrated Lime (HL) and Cellulose Oil Palm Fiber (COPF) at temperatures 0 °C, -5 °C and -10 °C. The study was carried using the state of the art Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR) to assess the stiffness value, m-value and deflection level. The tests were performed in accordance with AASHTO T 313-12 specification. The results of the penetration, rotational viscosity and softening point showed that all of the modified binder specimens are within the required range. However, the performance assessments on the modified petroleum binders with additive materials showed a varied nature with CL powder being the best and the COPF the lowest. It was also observed that the crushed lime stone powder had an increase in stiffness, reduction in deflection and m-value.","PeriodicalId":62390,"journal":{"name":"交通与运输工程:英文版","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46184554","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}

To make appropriate rehabilitation and management decisions, the engineers most often rely on efficient methods for the determination of the strength of pavement layers. Resilient modulus is a very important parameter to be identified and used in pavement design. The resilient moduli of asphalt mixtures are typically measured using the indirect tension test procedure in compliance with the ASTM D4123 standard that is superseded by ASTM D7369. The standard requirement is that the prepared specimens for the tests should have a minimum height of the sample over its diameter ratio of 0.4. Generally, specimens used in the tests are either a nominal 100 mm or 150 mm in diameter with a minimum thickness over diameter ratio of 0.4. However, 100 mm diameter core specimens taken from site wearing courses with thicknesses ranging from 40 mm to 50 mm most often do not fulfil the minimum ratio of 0.4 after they are trimmed for testing. Since there was no any option, part of the binder courses had to be trimmed to make up for the minimum ratio requirement. This tends to result in inaccurate assessment of the resilient modulus values of the samples. As such, a new procedure was explored to test specimens smaller than 100 mm in diameter. This may minimize the material volume requirement from the field and also for the fabrication of smaller samples in the laboratory. Based on the available thickness of wearing course or overlay, the appropriate sizes were determined. For a two-layer system a 56.3 mm diameter was deemed necessary while a 37.5 mm diameter was observed to be appropriate for a three-layer system. Such an approach for resilient modulus test using miniature specimens of 56.3 mm and 37.5 mm in diameter has a great potential for practical relevance for the industry.","PeriodicalId":62390,"journal":{"name":"交通与运输工程:英文版","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44322884","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}

Because intersections constitute the greatest restraint in network traffic flows, efficient operation during special event peak flows is crucial. This research focuses on evaluating how well traffic control officers optimize intersection operations during heavily oversaturated conditions associated with large-scale special events. Network traffic data, including volumes, queues, and traffic officer signal/right-of-way phase times, were collected before and after four Clemson University home football games during the 2014 and 2015 season. Actual traffic count volumes were adjusted to account for vehicle queues and used to develop optimal signal timings using Synchro. These results are compared to field-observed intersection operation using officer directed hand-signaling and officer traffic signal pushbutton operation. A microscopic VISSIM model was also created for both manual control and optimized control scenarios to determine average delays for each approach and to improve the interpretation of macroscopic Synchro results. Findings indicate that traffic officers perform well in near saturated conditions; however, optimized signal timings provide reduced approach delay and overall intersection delay in heavily oversaturated conditions. The paper includes recommendations on how traffic officers can improve intersection performance. The paper also describes how results from data collection, analysis, and simulation modeling have been used to make recommendations to law enforcement in evaluating traffic operations and identifying improvements. Intersection control is crucial to the implementation of the overall traffic management plan, and the research findings provide insight to the effectiveness of law enforcement control of intersection operations.","PeriodicalId":62390,"journal":{"name":"交通与运输工程:英文版","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46797912","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}

Vessel accidents or disasters involving seafarers, related to a mooring line, sometimes result in a fatality; therefore, this research area has attracted international attention. In consideration of this, we devised an analysis method for accidents involving a mooring line by adding prediction to the 4Ms of 4M4E, having first extracted the potential causes of an accident through brainstorming. The 4M4E+P analysis could obtain additional trigger factors that were not revealed in the 4M4E analysis. Thus, a measure of adopting these newly acquired trigger factors was evaluated. In addition, it is thought that 4M4E+P analysis can reduce the risk of vessel accidents and disasters involving seafarers.","PeriodicalId":62390,"journal":{"name":"交通与运输工程:英文版","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47365452","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 plan tries to manage the traffic issue of the city center, unsuccessfully so far. However, it does not take into account the spatial dimension of land uses. The networking of important functions and service providers is not a priority and, as a general conclusion, the plan does not serve the principle of integration neither guarantees the universal access to basic destinations and services. The paper argues that the plan could be improved by introducing a “bottom-up” design process, incorporating elements of the new and emerging agenda of “urban problems” (e.g. resilience targets) and moving away from the unification of “embellishment” and face the main issues of the real city.
