Success and failures in urban transport planning in Europe—understanding the transport system

Technological determinism has become a kind of religion for many people since it appears to offer solutions for societal problems as never before in history. Transport is one of the fascinating technology branches developed during the last 200 years. Effortless movement over long distances has become possible for car users as long as cheap fossil energy is available. However, the effect of fast transport on urban structures and society was not taken into account when developing these technical means. Technologists and economists have used indicators for expected benefits of these fast transport modes without taking into account the real system effects on society and urban structures. Plausible assumptions and hopes instead of scientific understanding of the complex system are used in practice. In contradiction to widely held beliefs of transportation planners, there is actually no growth of mobility if counted in number of trips per person per day, no time saving by increasing speed in the system, and no real freedom of modal choice. Modal choice is dependent on physical and other structures, the artificial environment built by urban planners, transport experts and political decisions. The core hypothesis of traditional urban and transport planning ‘growth of mobility’, ‘travel time saving by increasing speed’ and ‘freedom of modal choice’ are myths and do not exist in the real urban and transport system. This is the reason why urban planning and transport planning based on traditional non-scientific assumptions is creating continuously not only more transport problems, but also environmental and social as well as economic problems all over the world, where these principals are applied. Urban transport planning in Europe, understanding the transport system and the solutions are presented in this paper.     

Unconventional Charge Density Wave Arising from Electron–Phonon Interaction

We report of a theoretical study on quasi-one dimensional unconventional charge density wave (UCDW) driven by electron–phonon interaction. Within mean field theory, we find that the wavevector dependence of the coupling leads to a momentum dependent single particle gap on the Fermi surface. The presence of small energy single particle excitations around the gap nodes significantly changes the optical conductivity compared to the conventional CDW result. In addition to that, the collective phase excitation arising from fluctuation of the order parameter leads to further qualitative changes of the conductivity and results in an effective mass that is nonmonotonic in temperature.      

F-X域粘弹性波动方程保幅偏移

提出了一种利用粘弹性声波波动方程进行偏移的新方法。其基本思路是,修改成像条件,使修改后的成像方程中考虑振幅补偿,然后利用粘弹性、单程波动方程在F-X域对震源和接收点波场进行延拓,进而完成散射、透射等补偿。理论数据处理和实际地震资料处理表明,该方法理论基础可靠,处理效果明显,能较好地解决实际地质问题。

量子阱红外探测器能带结构的计算

利用电子波在阱与垒的界面上的反射及干涉效应，计算了量子阱红外探测器(QWIP)的能带结构，并对其适用性进行了分析和讨论。通过与K-P模型比较发现，本方法对计算较宽势阱(阱宽大于4nm)的量子阱结构的电子态适合。在垒宽和阱宽不变条件下，用两种方法计算得到的AlGaAs／GaAs量子阱材料中Al组分x与吸收峰值波长λp的关系曲线基本相同。结果说明，在较宽的范围内，本方法对QWIP能带结构的计算是适用且简便的。     

On Striping Traffic over Multiple IEEE 802.11(b) Wireless Channels

Due to interference, path loss, multipath fading, background noise, and many other factors, wireless communication normally cannot provide a wireless link with both a high data rate and a long transmission range. To address this problem, striping network traffic in parallel over multiple lower-data-rate but longer-transmission-range wireless channels may be used. In this paper, we propose a new striping method and evaluate its performances over multiple IEEE 802.11(b) channels under various conditions. Our extensive simulation results show that this method is quite effective for such an application. S.Y.

基于人文关怀的信号配时方法研究

在传统的信号配时中，都是以减少车辆的总延误为目标，这样并不能很好地体现出整个社会中人的时间价值。现以减少所有通过交叉口的出行者的总延误为目标，在传统的信号配时方案的基础上，提出了一套新的配时方案，同时以减少全部出行者的总延误时间为目标给出了相应的延误评价公式，最后以杭州市文一路-古翠路口的实测交通数据进行分析，论证了本配时方案的有效性。
