Optimal water resource allocation can go some way to overcoming water deficiencies; however, its achievement is complex due to conflicting hierarchies and uncertainties, such as water availability (WA) and water demand (WD). This study develops a robust water withdrawal scheme for drought regions that can balance the trade-offs between the sub-areas and water use participants, ensure sustainable regional system development, and guarantee robust solutions for future uncertainties. A bi-level affinely adjustable robust counterpart (AARC) programming framework was developed in which the regional authority as the leader allocates water to the sub-areas to maximize the intra- and intergenerational equity, and the sub-areas as the followers allocate water to their respective water departments to maximize their economic benefits and minimize water shortages. A case study from Neijiang, China, is given to illustrate the applicability and feasibility of this framework. The novelty of this study is to propose a sustainable bi-level AARC regional water allocation framework which integrates intra- and inter-generational equity of regional water use and priority rules reflected by goal preference programming between water departments under uncertainties of WA and WD simultaneously in water deficient regions.
With the rapid development of Internet, it is increasingly convenient to obtain real-time traffic condition information, which has greatly stimulated the improvement of urban traffic guidance. Traffic conditions are generally divided into four grades in the existing network platform, which are expressed in different colours. The understanding of traffic condition is still at the level of abstract senses. Therefore, it is difficult to grasp the characteristics of urban traffic. To this end, a new idea is proposed in this paper, and the new idea is to study the urban traffic characteristics based on real-time traffic condition information extraction with image identification technology. With this method, we can not only quantify the abstract traffic condition information, but also solve the loss of traffic condition information. In addition, an instance is analysed in this paper, it shows that it can provide references for urban traffic organization management very well. 相似文献
