Human-Vehicle Intersection Traffic Lights Timing Optimization Research by Wen Li, Hongying Zhang, Zhaoguo Huang, Chenhui Li

“…The optimal scheme is obtained and the result shows that (1) the number of passing vehicles remains unchanged, with the queuing delay reduced by 5.78% and crosswalk passing speed increased by 19.01% compared with the original one. (2) As the scheme effect is positively correlated with the increase of right turn vehicle numbers, the scheme could be adopted for urban traffic management based on the local situation, which is not only in peak traffic hours but also in the flat peak time to ensure vehicle efficiency and pedestrian safety in the light of “vehicle yielding to pedestrians” regulation. (3) The scheme could also be adopted in cities with no “vehicle yielding to pedestrians” policy for both people-vehicle separation and pedestrian safety when crossing streets.…”

Simulation of Storm Runoff Under Different Recurrence Periods in Jinfeng District of Yinchuan by HOU Jingwei, SUN Shiqin

“…Visual simulation of urban storm runoff can reveal the spatiotemporal laws of urban catchment runoff,node overflow,pipe network drainage,and waterlogging risk under different recurrence periods.This research selected the central part of the Jinfeng District in Yinchuan,China,as the study area.Runoff in each sub-catchment,drainage capacity of the pipe network,and the urban waterlogging risk under different recurrence periods were simulated through the stormwater management model (SWMM) and the geographic information system (GIS).The results show that the total rainfall,surface water storage,surface runoff,and runoff coefficient all increase with the recurrence period.There are positive correlations of rainfall intensity with the depth,time,and area of node waterlogging,area of the high waterlogging risk region,and the maximum depth and time of full flow in pipes.Node overflow mainly occurs in low-lying areas and regions with large catchments,dense populations,or large impervious areas.GIS and SWMM can be used to visually simulate the urban storm runoff and assess the drainage capacity of the pipe network and the urban waterlogging risk under different recurrence periods.The results of this research can provide a reference for the maintenance of urban pipe networks,the prevention and control of waterlogging disasters,and the construction of sponge cities.…”
