A good understanding of the spatial patterns of ports’ location advantages can help to better identify the relative advantages of ports, position ports’ functions and make strategic plans for development. This paper selected 1259 ports from 63 countries along the Maritime Silk Road as research objects and builds an accessing model to analyze their location advantages on the bases of six factors: the influence of strategic shipping pivot, the competitiveness of port location potential, port network status, the influence of city, the influence of traffic trunk, and road network density in hinterland. The study has the following three findings. Firstly, the location advantages of ports show a 'high-low-high' distribution pattern from the west to the east, displaying an obvious 'core-periphery' regionalized distribution. Secondly, most ports have high location advantages, mainly located in Strait of Malacca, the United Arab Emirates, northern Mediterranean coastal region and China-Japan region, the top 10 ports are mainly located in Singapore, China, Malaysia and Japan, indicating that the shipping industry in Asia-Pacific region has stepped to the far front of the global competition;slow economic growths, wars, far away from the Belt and Road countries or bad climate have low location advantages, mainly located in African coastal areas, Oceania, Northeast Europe and Russia. Thirdly, compared with the landward location advantages, the seaward location advantages have a higher influence, and different indicators of location advantages have different influences on the evaluation results, the competitiveness of port location potential being the core indicator.展开更多

To do so, researchers need to estimate exposure levels to air pollution throughout everyday life. In the literature, the most commonly used estimate is based on home address only or taking into account, in addition, the work address. However, several studies have shown the importance of daily mobility in the estimate of exposure to air pollutants. In this context, we developed an R procedure that estimates individual exposures combining home addresses, several important places, and itineraries of the principal mobility during a week. It supplies researchers a useful tool to calculate individual daily exposition to air pollutants weighting by the time spent at each of the most frequented locations (work, shopping, residential address, etc.) and while commuting. This task requires the efficient calculation of travel time matrices or the examination of multimodal transport routes. This procedure is freely available from the Equit’Area project website: (https://www.equitarea.org). This procedure is structured in three parts: the first part is to create a network, the second allows to estimate main itineraries of the daily mobility and the last one tries to reconstitute the level of air pollution exposure. One main advantage of the tool is that the procedure can be used with different spatial scales and for any air pollutant.展开更多

Among roadway traffic crashes, almost 90% of accidents are related to driver behaviors, wherein driving anger is one of the most leading causes to vehicle crash-related conditions. To some extent, angry driving is considered more dangerous than typical driving distraction due to emotion agitation. Aggressive driving behaviors create many kinds of roadway traffic safety hazards. Mitigating potential risk caused by road rage is essential to increase the overall level of traffic safety. This paper puts forward an integrated computer vision model composed of convolutional neural network in feature extraction and Bayesian Gaussian process in classification to recognize driver anger and distinguish angry driving from natural driving status. Histogram of gradients (HOG) was applied to extract facial features. Convolutional neural network extracted features on eye, eyebrow, and mouth, which are considered most related to anger emotion. Extracted features with its probability were sent to Bayesian Gaussian process classier as input. Integral analysis on three extracted features was conducted by Gaussian process classifier and output returned the likelihood of being anger from the overall study of all extracted features. An overall accuracy rate of 86.2% was achieved in this study. Tongji University 8-Degree-of-Freedom driving simulator was used to collect data from 30 recruited drivers and build test scenario.展开更多

文摘进行城市复杂空间结构的解析,识别城市功能设施的分布特征及区域城市功能区类型,可为优化城市空间布局和促进可持续发展提供数据支持.以合肥辖区为研究对象,参考TF-IDF(Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency)算法思想,融合OSM(Open Street Map)数据与POI(Point of Interest)数据进行城市功能区的识别.首先使用平均最近邻、热点分析探究POI空间分布模式;再利用OSM数据对研究区分割,获得相互独立且具有社会经济功能的基本研究单元,采用TF-IDF算法对POI数据加权,同时结合频率密度占比对城市功能区识别划分,比较并分析不同功能区的空间分布特征.结果表明:各类POI均呈现出明显的集聚分布特征,公共、居住、商服3类POI的冷热点空间集聚模式较为相似,但商服POI集聚程度更高.城市功能区包括21类功能区类型,绿地、交通相关功能区集中在局部重点区域,公共、商服、居住功能区的空间分布关联较为紧密,工业功能区的分布与合肥工业开发区高度契合.整体识别结果与合肥的实际情况一致.
