    Abstract: To address the low accuracy and inefficiency of current lane-change trajectory prediction methods for human-driven vehicles, this study develops a neural network lane-change trajectory prediction model with hyperparametric optimization capability using Bayesian optimization and gated recurrent units to consider the effect of lane-change intention on vehicle lane-change behavior and to predict it. The proposed model was instantiated using trajectory data of 8,721 vehicles. The results show that the overall recognition accuracy of intention recognition under the optimal input is 93.54%, and the recognition accuracy of keeping straight, left lane-change and right lane-change is 95.59%, 91.72%, and 93.30%, respectively. The root mean square errors of the predicted and actual trajectories to the left and to the right under the optimal input are 0.2582 and 0.2957, respectively. This paper demonstrates that, for the intention recognition module, the low-dimensional input enables the model to obtain high prediction accuracy, while for the trajectory prediction module, the high-latitude input enables the model to obtain a low prediction error. The developed trajectory prediction model can be used to assist in driving decision-making, path planning, and so forth.

    Abstract: With the increase in material and labor costs and the decrease in purchasing power, the Texas Department of Transportation (DOT) is striving to maintain its roadways at the current level of conditions within a severely constrained budget. In particular, maintaining adequate pavement skid resistance has become a challenge for decision makers at various levels. The goal of this study was to develop a methodological procedure that could be used to establish the appropriate threshold values for skid resistance so that safety would not be compromised on Texas highways when there is a budget shortfall. The two primary issues were to be addressed: ( a) identification of the quantitative relationship between pavement skid resistance and crash rates and ( b) determination of threshold values for skid resistance and corresponding recommendations for maintenance decisions. A detailed methodological framework was proposed. Highway segments were categorized into homogenous groups of safety-related characteristics, except skid resistance. The quantitative relationship between crash risks and skid resistance was then established with the concept of the crash rate ratio. Three threshold values were determined to establish four decision categories of skid resistance values, with crash and skid resistance data collected from 2008 to 2011 on the highway system maintained by the Texas DOT. Corresponding recommendations on maintenance decisions were provided. The results show that the proposed methodological procedure can effectively capture the safety impacts of skid resistance at the network level and provide a useful tool for the Texas DOT to take safety into its maintenance decision-making processes.

    Abstract: Traffic oscillations such as stop-and-go waves in a traffic system can occur for a variety of reasons, such as instabilities. This paper describes a study of a type of periodic oscillations caused by network geometry with a microscopic simulation model, Paramics. With careful tuning in Paramics, periodic oscillations in which traffic states change periodically between a diverging junction and a merging junction are successfully simulated. The formation process is discussed in detail. The study suggests that, given an appropriate network structure and traffic conditions, the local oscillations caused by randomness in car-following and lane-changing models in Paramics can be maintained and can become periodic and global. Finally, the consistencies between a macroscopic kinematic wave model and Paramics are discussed, and future research topics and the implications of the findings of the study are presented.

    Abstract: As a new form of shared mobility similar to bike-sharing, there is an increasing trend of people starting to use shared electric bicycles (SEB) for travel in China. Understanding the psychosocial factors that affect residents’ intention to use SEB is essential for the implementation of policies to develop sustainable transportation. Most research focuses on bike-sharing, while research on SEB is relatively rare. As such, this study proposes a theoretical framework based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to explore the mechanisms that influence the acceptance of and intention to use SEB. Drawing on this, it further addresses the moderating role of group heterogeneity and the residual effect of bike-sharing. An online survey of 313 SEB users in China was conducted in 2021. The results are constructed by structural equation modeling (SEM) and multiple-indicator multiple-cause (MIMIC) model. The results show that the research model can well explain people’s intention to use SEB. Perceived usefulness, attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control have direct positive effects on the intention to use SEB. However, there is group heterogeneity between social-economic attributes and latent variables. Moreover, satisfaction with bike-sharing could moderate the relationship between perceived usefulness and intention toward SEB. Based on the findings, some policy insights from users, government, and enterprises are proposed to guide the development of SEB.

    Abstract: Soil in and near transportation facilities often is contaminated with lead because lead once was used as a base for gasoline and paint. Dealing with contaminated soil is difficult because the toxic material must be treated to protect the public from direct exposure. Stabilization and solidification is a promising technique for protecting the public from toxic materials in soils by decreasing the possibility of human exposure and decreasing the mobility of the contaminant. The results of a laboratory investigation of the feasibility of stabilization and solidification of contaminated soil using cement in combination with various additives are presented. Mobility of lead and other contaminants was measured by dynamic diffusion and compared with the standard test results of the toxic characteristic leaching procedure. Several additives were tried. Apatite and sodium silicate were found to be the most effective in reducing the mobility of the lead. The compacted dry density of the solidified soil had a great effect on the leaching characteristics. The leaching of lead from deteriorated solidified soil was simulated by crushing a sample containing apatite and conducting a dynamic diffusion test on the crushed sample. The diffusion coefficient was used to compare the effect of additives and other treatments.
