Traffic flow prediction is of great significance for improving the operation efficiency of the transportation system, optimizing travel experience and reducing traffic congestion. Traditional traffic flow prediction methods are difficult to capture the spatio-temporal nonlinear characteristics of traffic flow due to its simple model and insufficient feature extraction ability. Therefore, an intelligent traffic flow prediction system based on deep learning is proposed, constructs a deep learning model based on graph convolution and fusion of attention mechanism LSTM. Based on this, a traffic flow prediction system is implemented. Experiments show that, on the PeMSD4 and PeMSD4 datasets, the error of the model in RMSE and Mae indicators is significantly reduced compared with the traditional methods, which provides an efficient solution for traffic flow prediction and congestion analysis, and has both theoretical innovation and engineering practical value.

This paper uses a structured evaluation framework to study the ergonomics of electric pilot seats in modern civil aircraft. We have established a multi-level indicator system to examine the adjustability, pressure distribution, dynamic response and, fatigue relief effect of the seat. All experimental data were obtained from a full-scale cockpit simulator environment, where a ground-based mock-up and motion-free simulated cockpit were used to replicate real operational posture, control-reach conditions, and long-duration mission loads. This framework combines experimental measurement and fuzzy evaluation techniques to quantify the quality of human-computer interaction. Test results show that compared with ordinary seats, the prototype seat has a wider adjustment range, a more uniform pressure distribution, and a smoother dynamic response. It is particularly worth mentioning that it can delay the emergence of fatigue during long-term operation, which proves the advantages of the electric

As high-speed train technology advances, the demands on braking system performance have intensified. Known for their efficiency, reliability, and eco-friendliness, Linear Eddy Current Brakes (LECB) have become a focal point in the research and development of high-speed train braking systems. This paper presents an innovative Orthogonal Excitation Eddy Current Brake (OEECB), which enhances the braking force without modifying the overall dimensions of the conventional LECB. By adding a set of longitudinal excitation coils parallel to the rail surface, the OEECB creates an orthogonal excitation structure that augments the braking force. Initially, this paper outlines the design concept of the OEECB and then analyzes its working principle based on electromagnetic field theory. Subsequently, a finite element solver is employed to numerically model the electromagnetic characteristics of the OEECB. Finally, by comparing the performance differences between the conventional LECB and OEECB, the

The magnetic field modeling methodology for ships based on magnetic dipole arrays demonstrates heightened sensitivity to input data. When addressing overdetermined systems characterized by numerous variables and constrained measurement points, the coefficient matrix frequently develops pathological ill-conditioning, leading to solution divergence and compromised result accuracy. This research reformulates the ship magnetic field inversion challenge as a non-convex quadratic programming problem, employing the Successive Convex Approximation (SCA) algorithm as the computational solver. Rigorous comparative validation was performed against conventional stepwise regression algorithms and experimental datasets acquired from scaled ship model measurements. Results substantiate that while the modeling precision of the SCA algorithm remains comparable to that achieved by stepwise regression methods, SCA exhibits demonstrably superior solution stability. This enhanced robustness positions SCA

The collection of road high-frequency data often involves inputs from multiple sensors, such as stress and strain, and sampling of these data features a high sampling rate of up to 2,000 Hz. High-frequency sampling enables capturing of the internal stress and strain of the pavements when vehicles are passing and facilitates the analysis of the pavement structure and prediction of its long-term service performance. However, while the sensors are continuously collecting data, the time the vehicles pass is discrete and unpredictable, resulting in a large number of low information density or irrelevant data. Even when the massive high-frequency data are collected, challenges remain in data transmission, storage, and analysis—the challenges are attributable not only to the massive quantity and complexity of data from multiple sensors, but also to the inconsistent data formats, misaligned timestamps, and multi-sensor data fusion difficulties. In response to the challenges specified above, a

With the development of manned spaceflight and deep space exploration, TC4 alloy has been used for the structure design of aircraft due to its excellent characteristics. Thermal radiation properties (solar absorptance and hemispheric emittance) of TC4 alloy are becoming important design indices. We investigated TC4 alloys with different surface morphologies and the effect of micro-morphology on thermal radiation properties. The results show that the solar absorptance of the alloys is sensitive to surface roughness and microstructure. As the surface roughness or crack increases, solar absorptance increases. Hemispheric emittance of the alloys increases as surface roughness is added, but it is insensitive to the micro-nanostructure of the alloys.

Aiming at the problem of insufficient modeling of spatio-temporal heterogeneity in road traffic accident prediction, a dual task machine learning framework integrating geographical environment, location attributes and time periodicity is proposed. The dataset used in this study was derived from traffic accident records of Nanchang during 2019–2023. Firstly, geographical identifiers are generated by rounding and aggregating latitude and longitude coordinates. At the same time, the location type is processed by a one-hot encoding, so as to carry out spatial clustering analysis of accident hotspots. Compared with the North-South pattern, the contribution of geographical features shows a strong East-West trend. The kernel density heatmap identified Zone A and zone B as dual core high-risk areas. Secondly, the sinusoidal/cosine function is used to encode the time feature circularly, which effectively captures the daily change of the accident. The quantitative analysis of random forest

To investigate the disaster evolution characteristics and associated risks of heavy rainfall and flooding on urban transportation infrastructure, this study takes the extreme rainstorm event in Zhengzhou as a typical case. A multidimensional dynamic risk assessment model is employed to analyze the disaster evolution process and conduct risk evaluation. First, the three-stage evolution process and its characteristics are systematically examined. Then, based on the theory of natural disaster risk elements, a dynamic risk assessment model is constructed. The improved Order of Priority Approach (OPA) is used to determine the weights of multidimensional risk factors, and interval type-1 fuzzy logic is introduced to address the uncertainty of fuzzy indicators. Finally, the overall risk level of the heavy rainfall–flooding disaster chain is calculated and evaluated. The results indicate a high-risk level, which is consistent with the findings of the field investigation report, thereby

In order to solve the ship emergencies that may occur in the process of tunnel navigation, the tunnel pontoon-type bank wall evacuation channel proposed in a large navigation building is taken as the research object. Based on Pathfinder evacuation software, a numerical model of pedestrian evacuation for 500 passenger ships in emergency situations such as fire in the navigation tunnel is established, and the evacuation simulation analysis and evacuation ability evaluation are completed. The analysis shows that the emergency evacuation time of personnel is at least about 21 minutes, and the bottleneck of emergency evacuation equipment for personnel in the navigation tunnel is at the entrance of the pontoon escape. The results provide guidance and suggestions for the design optimization of the evacuation channel of the tunnel bank wall in the later period.

Zero-gravity seats alleviate prolonged sitting fatigue by optimizing human body pressure distribution, but the correlation mechanism between body size parameters and pressure distribution remains unclear. This study proposes a deep learning model based on multimodal data fusion, combining pressure matrices and postural angle data to construct a convolutional neural network (CNN) with a height prediction error ⩽3 cm. Experiments collected pressure and posture data from 100 participants with diverse anthropometric percentiles. Through the fusion of features and the optimization of the model, the study managed to quantify how height and weight impact pressure gradients. The results indicate that the model achieved a prediction R2 value of 0.73, which confirms that there is a strong correlation between pressure distribution and body size parameters. The findings offer theoretical and technical support for the adaptive adjustment systems within intelligent cabins.

The reliability of aviation maintenance personnel directly impacts flight safety, yet systematic methodologies for the quantitative prediction of human error probability (HEP) in this domain remain lacking. To address this gap, a novel human factors reliability analysis method for aviation maintenance is proposed, extending the SPAR-H model through Evidential Reasoning (ER). This method is implemented as follows: Maintenance tasks are decomposed into subtasks. Subsequently, the eight types of Performance Shaping Factors (PSFs) for each subtask are evaluated by domain experts according to defined PSF levels. Expert judgments are then aggregated using Evidential Reasoning theory, enabling the calculation of aggregated PSF levels. These aggregated levels are interpolated to determine the corresponding impact multipliers. Finally, the HEP for aviation maintenance operations is calculated by integrating the SPAR-H basic error probability model with task series/parallel logic rules. The

The two-way ten-lane expressway has the significant characteristics of “large traffic volume, mixed vehicle types, and heavy loads”, which makes the impact of traffic flow status on accident risk present nonlinear characteristics. Traffic flow fluctuations not only directly affect the probability of accidents, but also amplify the spatiotemporal differences in rescue needs through mechanisms such as lane occupancy time and accident chain reactions. Therefore, the essence of resource allocation on a two-way ten-lane expressway is the “spatiotemporal matching problem between dynamic risks and limited resources”, which requires both quantifying the spatiotemporal evolution of risks and coping with the high uncertainty of the traffic system. Aiming at the problem of inefficiency of traditional empirical resource allocation under complex traffic conditions, this study proposes a dynamic optimization framework based on multidimensional risk assessment for emergency rescue resource allocation

As a special vehicle, motor caravans have high customer demand and expectations for product quality under current market conditions. At the same time, customers generally have strong demands for functional differentiation and modification. To meet the requirements, manufacturers need to redesign and construct the production process platform, including redesigning and transforming various functional unit modules on the vehicle. For example, the flexibility of production process platform systems, standardization of electrical interfaces, and modularization of functional units, etc. In the implementation process, by embedding flexible architecture into the existing universal process system, motor caravans modification can be flexibly organized according to customer orders and requirements while ensuring streamlined production. In the implementation process, the focus of the new installation process system is to match the electrical systems inside the vehicle, ensuring not only the

To meet the requirements for efficient evacuation during tunnel navigation, the pontoon of the tunnel bank wall evacuation channel in a large-scale navigation building is taken as the research object. The water body and water wave are simulated using the coupled Euler-Lagrangian method and the push-plate wave method, respectively. The water boundary is processed using the viscoelastic artificial boundary method, and a simulation analysis model of the pontoon under the combined action of water waves and load is established. The results show that the average relative vertical displacement of the pontoon is basically the same under the condition of water wave and no water waves, but the fluctuation range of the pontoon is larger under the condition of water waves. When there are water waves and different loads, the maximum Mises stress distribution of the pontoon is essentially the same, and both are less than 80 MPa, meeting the strength requirements and demonstrating the rationality of
