A Cooperative Simulation Algorithm of Driver’s Behavior Based on Multi-Information Fusion WANG Lei,WANG Xiao-yuan,YANG Xin-yue 2006, 6(1): 86-90 .  Abstract ( )   PDF (2030KB) ( )   The traffic simulation is the important research means to Evaluate and optimize the traffic control and the traffic management. The characteristic of the multi-information stimulation, the task concentration of the driver, and the cooperative reaction behavior are not considered synthetically in the traditional microscopic traffic simulation model, especially for the car-following model which is used to portray the driver’s behavior. In this paper, the fuzzy integral and Bayes methods are used to describe the process of the multi-information fusion of the driver in the complex running environment. At the same time, these methods are also applied to the driver’s behavior after the task concentration. The model test shows that the two algorithms are effective to simulate the task concentration and the cooperative reaction before the car-following model is implemented.

Some Rational Views on BRT and Rail Transit System QUAN Yong-shen, SUN Zhuang-zhi 2006, 6(1): 111-117 .  Abstract ( )   PDF (3503KB) ( )   Due to the large investment and long construction period, it is hard for rail transit system to form a relative large scale network in a short period so as to become the backbone of the urban public transport system. So, influence by successful bus rapid transit (BRT) lines in many big cities of the world, in recent years, a lot of domestic cities have begun to pay more and more attention to BRT. As a result, many BRT lines are being planned and constructed. Facing the new situation, how to identify the function orientation of BRT? How to plan and build BRT lines well with its inherent functions and technical properties? This paper presents some rational views on these confusing questions.
