The 3-D multi-body dynamic model of full vehicle running gears and control system model are built based on the simulation platform on dynamic analysis software known as RecurDyn/Track-HM and control system analysis software known as Matlab/Simulink. Theory analysis and collaborative simulation of turning kinematic/dynamic performance in different velocity and turning radius are made. Comparing the test result with theory computation validates the correctness of the model. The method has instructional significance of solving the existent modeling problem, comprehension of turning performance and test debugging strategy,and also forms a new idea of research on dynamic characteristics for the electric transmission tracked vehicle’s electric propulsion system.展开更多

Currently, simulation is commonly used to evaluate operational performance of CFIs. However, this approach requires significant on-site data collection and is highly dependent on the analyst’s ability to correctly model the intersection and driver behavior. Recently, connected vehicle (CV) trajectory data has become widely available and presents opportunities for the direct measurement of traffic signal performance measures. This study utilizes CV trajectory data to analyze the performance of a CFI located in West Valley City, UT. Over 4500 trajectories and 105,000 GPS points are analyzed from August 2021 weekday data. Trajectories are linear-referenced to generate Purdue Probe Diagrams (PPDs) and extended PPDs to estimate split failures (SF), arrivals on green (AOG), traditional Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) level of service (LOS), and the distribution of stops. The estimated operational performance showed effective progression during the PM peak period at all the critical internal storage areas with AOG levels at exit traffic signals between 83% and 100%. In contrast, all external approaches with longer queue storage areas had AOG values ranging from 2% to 81% during the same time period. The presented analytical techniques and summary graphics provide practitioners with tools to evaluate the performance of any CFI where CV trajectories are available without the need for on-site data collection.展开更多
