Location-Dependent Lane-Changing Behavior for Arterial Road Traffic

Lane-changing behavior plays an important role in characterizing urban arterial road traffic dynamics. This paper investigates efficiency-driven and objective-driven motives for drivers to change lanes on arterial roads. The former motive is determined by the circumstances of the surrounding traffic flow, whereas the latter depends on position. A location-dependent lane changing model is then established by weighing the two motives for lane changing. Both continuous and discrete versions of the arterial traffic model are obtained using the LWR (Lighthill–Whitham–Richards) model with the two types of lane changing. Simulations show that the proposed model can reproduce macroscopic traffic phenomena such as spillover and a decrease in the concomitant departure flow, which is the reason for capacity loss. It is concluded that 1) there exists a critical condition under which there is no capacity loss and that 2) a different flow composition could result in a different capacity loss, which varies according to the flow direction. Hence, traffic management and control should take this loss into account.     

An ensemble evolutionary constraint-based approach to understand the emergence of metabolic phenotypes

Constraint-based modeling is largely used in computational studies of metabolism. We propose here a novel approach that aims to identify ensembles of flux distributions that comply with one or more target phenotype(s). The methodology has been tested on a small-scale model of yeast energy metabolism. The target phenotypes describe the differential pattern of ethanol production and O₂ consumption observed in “Crabtree-positive” and “Crabtree-negative” yeasts in changing environment (i.e., when the upper limit of glucose uptake is varied). The ensembles were obtained either by selection among sampled flux distributions or by means of a search heuristic (genetic algorithm). The former approach provided indication about the probability to observe a given phenotype, but the resulting ensembles could not be unambiguously partitioned into “Crabtree-positive” and “Crabtree-negative” clusters. On the contrary well-separated clusters were obtained with the latter method. The cluster analysis further allowed identification of distinct groups within each target phenotype. The method may thus prove useful in characterizing the design principles underlying metabolic plasticity arising from evolving physio-pathological or developmental constraints.     

Three schemes of remote information concentration based on ancilla-free phase-covariant telecloning

In this paper, remote information concentration is investigated which is the reverse process of the $1\rightarrow 3$ optimal asymmetric economical phase-covariant telecloning (OAEPCT). The OAEPCT is different from the reverse process of optimal universal telecloning. It is shown that the quantum information via $1\rightarrow 3$ OAEPCT procedure can be remotely concentrated back to a single qubit with a certain probability via several quantum channels. In these schemes, we adopt Bell measurement to measure the joint systems and use projected measurement and positive operator-valued measure to recover the original quantum state. The results shows non-maximally entangled quantum resource can be applied to information concentration.     

Flexible protocol for quantum private query based on B92 protocol

Jakobi et al. for the first time proposed a novel and practical quantum private query (QPQ) protocol based on SARG04 (Scarani et al. in Phys Rev Lett 92:057901, 2004) quantum key distribution protocol (Jakobi et al. in Phys Rev A 83:022301, 2011). Gao et al. generalized Jakobi et al’s protocol and proposed a flexible QPQ protocol (Gao et al. in Opt Exp 20(16):17411–17420, 2012). When $\theta <\pi /4$ , Gao et al’s protocol exhibits better database security than Jakobi et al’s protocol, but has a higher probability with which Bob can correctly guess the address of Alice’s query. In this paper, we propose a flexible B92-based QPQ protocol. Although SARG04 protocol is a modification of B92 protocol and can be seen as a generalization of B92 protocol, our protocol shows different advantages from Gao et al’s protocol. It can simultaneously obtain better database security and a lower probability with which Bob can correctly guess the address of Alice’s query when $\theta <\pi /4$ . By introducing entanglement, the proposed QPQ protocol is robust against channel-loss attack, which also implies lower classical communication complexity. Similar to Gao et al’s protocol, it is flexible, practical, and robust against quantum memory attack.     

Finite-time control for discrete-time Markovian jump systems with deterministic switching and time-delay

In this paper, the finite-time control problem is investigated for a class of discrete-time Markovian jump systems (MJLSs) with deterministic switching and time-delay. The considered systems are subject to a piecewise-constant transition probability (TP) matrix, which leads to both the deterministic switches and stochastic jumps. First, the stochastic finite-time boundedness (SFTB) and l ₂ gain analysis for the systems are studied by employing the average dwell time (ADT) approach. Note that a finite-time weighted l ₂ gain is obtained to measure the disturbance attenuation level. Then, the mode-dependent and variation-dependent controller is designed such that the resulting closed-loop systems are stochastically finite-time bounded and have a guaranteed disturbance attenuation level. Finally, a numerical example is given to verify the potential of the developed results.     

Applications of textured surfaces on bubble trapping and degassing for microfluidic devices

This paper introduces a passive degassing mechanism using textured surfaces to trap and transport bubbles, and then using hydrophobic porous membranes to vent out bubbles in a microfluidic system. The bubble trapping ability is achieved by creating nanostructures to promote bubble nucleation and coalescence on the sidewalls of KOH-etched concave pits in a silicon substrate. The substrate, which is bonded with a porous membrane, is placed in a liquid system with chemically generated CO₂ bubbles to examine the degassing ability. The results validate that the bubbles can be easily trapped on the surfaces with nanostructures, and then vented through the porous membrane. Our proposed approach possesses the advantage of simple fabrication, great structure robustness, and effective bubble trapping and removing abilities, which show their great potential as economic, passive means of preventing the gas byproducts from blocking surfaces and improving the efficiency of microfluidic systems during operations.     

Integrated size and topology optimization of skeletal structures with exact frequency constraints

The present paper studies the integrated size and topology optimization of skeletal structures under natural frequency constraints. It is found that, unlike the conventional compliance-oriented topology optimization problems, the considered problem may be strongly singular in the sense that the corresponding feasible domain may be disconnected and the global optimal solutions are often located at the tips of some separated low dimensional sub-domains when the cross-sectional areas of the structural components are used as design variables. As in the case of stress-constrained topology optimization, this unpleasant behavior may prevent the gradient-based numerical optimization algorithms from finding the true optimal topologies. To overcome the difficulties posed by the strongly singular optima, some particular forms of area/moment of inertia-density interpolation schemes, which can restore the connectedness of the feasible domain, are proposed. Based on the proposed optimization model, the probability of finding the strongly singular optimum with gradient-based algorithms can be increased. Numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Research on the comprehensive traffic state evaluation model linked with drivers’ perception under the vehicle networking

Unified judgment standards and methods are often adopted to identify traffic state in certain road network based on traffic flow parameters. However, drivers often have different perceptions about the traffic state on different road sections, since their expectations on traffic state vary more or less from each other on different road sections. In particular, under the vehicle networking, out of considerations for safety and other relevant factors, requirements for the correlation and coordination of running vehicles have also raised significantly. Therefore, it is necessary to take driver’s perception about the driving conditions of certain road sections into consideration to adjust the release of traffic state. This paper has provided a comprehensive traffic state evaluation model linked with driver’s perception under the vehicle networking. The authors first establish an ANFIS model based on the T–S model and then conduct statistical analysis on drivers’ perceptions about certain traffic state. At last, the authors use the results of statistical analysis as regulatory factors to amend the parameters input through ANFIS. Through simulation, this paper has demonstrated that the model established has a high rate of convergence, a high identification precision and the generalization ability to conduct researches on the identification of traffic state.
