Habits are a funny thing.词汇:永恒褒义词+正评价说“习惯是一件有趣的事情”。
好,咱同学,你记住,考试的时候,如果当你看到这句话的时候,你的第一反应就是把funny这个词圈个圈。
Funny这个词是一个永恒褒义词,什么叫做“永恒褒义词”,就是阅读理解当中,永远没有贬义的含义,并且只要这种词一出现,你就知道,作者对他后面所要讨论的事物呈什么评价?呈正评价。
所以你在首段的首句,随便一个位置上打上一个加号,以后我们的课程中,加号就表示“正评价”。
永恒褒义词举例关于永恒褒义词,在这里给咱同学举个例子,你可以简单地记一下。
只要是以下这类词,都是永恒褒义词:decent,colorful,flexible,enchance, consummate,adventurous具有进取精神一般冒险, flawless, original, precipitate促进;interesting。
然后我在这强调一点:有一词常考,但是它不具有感情色彩,就是significance,这个词没有感情色彩,表示“意义,重要性”,好的东西有好的意义,好的重要性。
坏的东西有坏的意义,坏的重要性。
还有一个词也是很多同学经常混淆的,revolution,这个单词表示“革命”,在中国,“革命”是个褒义词,“反革命”是一个贬义词。
这是因为我们这个国家在建国以前,喜欢革命,热爱革命,所以让这个词富有褒贬色彩;但是在国际上,这个词没有感情色彩,revolution这个词的动词就是revolve,表示“公转”,公转个过程中,新事物取代旧事物,这是大自然和谐的转变,没有什么需要歌颂赞美的东西在里面。
所以名词revolution是一个中性词。
那么你告诉我反革命anti-revolution是什么感情色彩?中性词。
这是国际上的看法,那么咱同学告诉我,考试的时候,你以哪一个说法为准?是以中国说法为准,还是以国际说法为准?以国际说法。

2009.9翻译分析

首发:新东方惠瑾发布9.13中口翻译评析发布时间:2009-09-13 作者:惠瑾来源:上海新东方英译汉What is a novel? I say: an invented story. At the same time a story which, though invented, has the power to ring true. True to what? True to life as the reader knows life to be or, it may be, feels life to be. And I mean the adult, the grown-up reader. Such a reader has outgrown fairy tales, and we do not want the fantastic and the impossible. So I say to you that a novel must stand up to the adult tests of reality.You may say:”If one wa nts truth, why not go to the literally true book? Biography or documentary, these amazing accounts of amazing experiences which people have.” Yes, but I am suggesting to you that there is a distinction between truth andso-called reality. The novel does not simply recount experience. And here comes in what is the actual livening spark of the novel: the novelist’s imagination has a power of its own. It does not merely invent, it perceives. It intensifies, therefore it gives power, extra importance, and greater truth to what may well be ordinary and everyday things.小说是什么?我认为是人们创造出来的故事。

Crippling health care bills, long emergency-room waits and the inability to find a primary care physician just scratch the surface of the problems that patients face daily.问题重重的医疗保障费用,急诊室前排起的长队,以及无法找到初级护理医生,这些仅是每天要面对的问题中的一部分。
Primary care should be the ba health care system.初级护理应该是所有医疗保障体系的支柱。
Countries with appropriate primary care resources score highly when it comes to health outcomes and cost.有充足的初级护理资源的国家在健康水平和费用支出上都获得甚佳的评价。
The U.S. takes the opposite approach by emphasizing the specialist rather than the primary care physician.美国却反其道而行之,注重专科医生而非初级护理医生。
A recent study analyzed the providers who treat Medicare beneficiaries (老年医保受惠人).最近一项研究分析了负责治疗老年医保受惠人的医生。
The startling finding was that the average Medicare patient saw a total of seven doctors—two primary care physicians and five specialists—in a given year. Contrary to popular belief, the more physicians taking care of you don’t guarantee better care.这项令人震惊的研究发现,老年医保受惠人平均每天要看七名医生----包括两名初级护理医生和五名专科医生。

2009年Text 1习惯是件有趣的事情。
我们无意识间养成了一些习惯,我们的大脑是自动运转的,轻松进入熟知套路所带来的不自觉舒适状态。
“这并非选择,而是习惯控制了那些没有思想的人”,这是威廉·华兹华斯(William Wordsworth)19世纪时说的话。
在现在这个日新月异的21世纪,甚至习惯这个词本身也带有负面涵义。
因此,在创造和革新的背景下来谈论习惯,似乎显得有点矛盾。
但大脑研究人员发现,当我们有意识地培养新的习惯的时候,我们创建了平行路径,甚至是全新的脑细胞,可以让我们的思路跳转到新的创新轨道上来。
我们不要把自己看成是不可改变的习惯动物,相反,我们可以通过有意识的培养新的习惯来引导自身的改变。
事实上,我们对新事物尝试得越多——就会越远地走出自己的舒适地带——我们在工作场所及个人生活中就会变得越有创造性,但是,不必费心试图摈弃各种旧习惯;一旦这些程序惯例融进大脑,它们就会留在那里。
相反,我们刻意培养的新习惯会创建平行路径能避开原来那些老路。
《开放思想》一书的作者Dawna Markova说:“革新所需要的第一样东西,就是一种对好奇的着迷。
然而我们被教导去做‘决定’,就像我们的总裁称呼自己为‘决策者’那样。
”她补充道,“但是,决定意味着否决一切可能性而只保留一种。
一个优秀的具有革新精神的思想者总是在探寻许多其它的可能。
”她说,我们都是通过一些自己没有意识到的方法解决问题的。
研究人员在20世纪60年代末发现人类天生主要用四种方法应对挑战。
这四种方法是分析法,程序法,关联(或合作)法和创新法。
但是在青春期结束的时候,大脑关闭一半的能力,仅仅保留了那些大约在生命最开始的十几年时间里似乎是最有价值的思维方式。
目前标准化测试主要强调分析和程序的能力,也就是说,我们中很少有人会本能地使用创新和合作的思维方式。
M.J.Ryan是2006年出版的著作《今年我将......》一书的作者以及Markova女士的商业合作伙伴,她解释说:“这打破了美国信念体系里的主要规则——任何人都可以做任何事。

环岛交通的优化设计Optimal Design for Traffic CircleAbstract欧仁艾纳尔(Ez-gene Herlerd )受到19世纪艺术形式的影响首创了“环岛式交通枢纽”的道路交叉口的概念。
时至今日,由此产生的环岛式交通在世界各地广泛存在。
一些城市主干道上现有的环形交叉口由于通行能力不足,经常出现拥挤、混乱及堵塞的现象,往往是各向车辆争相进交叉口,却很难顺畅驶出。
面对这种状况,我们以六车道入口环岛为例建立了三个模型:1、通过对六车道环岛模型的分析,考虑不加任何控制设施建立模型,并推导出环岛的交通能力表达式(考虑到交织段长度影响和车辆分布不均匀的影响及非机动车干扰):22()3600132()(11/6)(11/6)(11/6)230A A Z i Q Q Q A l Q Q p p t p l βββ''''-∆•=•=•=•-∆•••---+ 以某一环岛为例,代入上式求出此种情况下的通行能力。

One Ring to Rule Them All:The Optimization of Traffic CirclesAaron Abromowitz AndreaLevyRussell MelickHarvey Mudd College Claremont, CAAdvisor: Susan E. MartonosiSummaryOur goal is a model that can account for the dynamics of vehicles in a trafficcircle. Wemainlyfocusontherateofentryintothecircletodetermine the best way to regulate traffic. We assume that vehicles circulate in a single lane and that only incomingtraffic can be regulated(that is, incomingtraffic never has the right-of-way).For our model, the adjustable parameters are the rate of entry into the queue, the rate of entry into the circle (service rate), the maximum capacity of the circle, and the rate of departure from the circle (departure rate). We use a compartment model with the queue and the traffic circle as compartments. Vehicles first enter the queue from the outside world, then enter the traffic circle from the queue, and lastly exit the traffic circle to the outside world. We model both the service rate and the departure rate as dependent on the number of vehicles inside the traffic circle.Inaddition,weruncomputersimulationstohaveavisualrepresentation of what happens in a traffic circle during different situations. These allow us to examine different cases, such as unequal traffic flow coming from the different queues or some intersections having a higher probability of being a vehicle destination than others. The simulation also implements several life-like effects, such as how vehicles accelerate on an empty road but decelerate when another vehicle is in front of them.In many cases, we find that a high service rate is the optimal way to maintain traffic flow, signifying that a yield sign for incoming traffic is most effective. However, when the circle becomes more heavily trafficked,TheUMAPJournal30(3)(2009)247–260. !c Copyright2009byCOMAP,Inc. Allrightsreserved.

Traffic circles may have more than one lane and may have a different number of intersections.a lower service rate better accommodates traffic, indicating that a traffic light should be used. Thus, a light should be installed in most circle implementations, with variable timing depending on the expected amount of traffic.The main advantage of our approach is that the model is simple and allows us to see clearly the dynamics of the system. Also, the computer simulations provide more in-depth information about traffic flow under conditions that the model could not easily show, as well as enabling visual observation of the traffic. Some disadvantages to our approach are that we do not analyze the effects of multiple lanes nor stop lights to control the flow of traffic within the circle. In addition, we have no way of analyzing singular situations, such as vehicles that drive faster or slower than the rest of the traffic circle, or pedestrians.IntroductionTraffic circles, often called rotaries, are used to control vehicle flow through an intersection. Depending on the goal, a traffic circle may take different forms; Figure 1 shows a simple model. A circle can have one or more lanes; vehicles that enter a traffic circle can be met by a stop sign, a traffic light, or a yield sign; a circle can have a large or small radius; a circle can confront roads containing different amounts of traffic. These features affect the cost of the circle to build, the congestion that a vehicle confronts as it circles, the travel time of a vehicle in the circle, and the size of the queue of vehicles waiting to enter. Each of these variables could be a metric for evaluating the efficacy a traffic circle.Our goal is to determine how best to control traffic entering, exiting, and traversing a traffic circle. We take as given the traffic circle capacity, the arrival and departure rates at each of the roads, and the initial number of vehicles circulating in the rotary. Our metric is the queue length, or buildup, at eachoftheenteringroads. Wetrytominimizethequeuelengthbyallowingthe rate of entry from the queue into the circle to vary. For a vehicle to traverse the rotary efficiently, its time spent in the queue should be minimized. We make the following assumptions:•We assume a certain time of day, so that the parameters are constant.•There is a single lane of circulating traffic (all moving in the same direction).•Nothing impedes the exit of traffic from the rotary.•There are no singularities, such as pedestrians trying to cross.•The circulating speed is constant (i.e., a vehicle does not accelerate or decelerate to enter or exit the rotary).•Any traffic light in place regulates only traffic coming into the circle.The ModelsA SimplifiedModelWe model the system as being continuous; our approach can be thought of as modeling the vehicle mass dynamics of a traffic circle. The simplest model assumes that the rate of arrival to the back of the entering queue and the rate of departure from the queue into the traffic circle are independent of time. Thus, the rate of change in the length of the queue is, (1) where Q i is the number of cars in the queue coming in from the i th road, a i is the rate of arrival of vehicles into the i th queue, and s i is the rate of removal, alsocalledtheservicerate, fromthe i thqueueintothetrafficcircle.We introduce the parameter d i, the rate at which vehicles exit the traffic circle. We let C be the number of vehicles traveling in the circle. Then we model the change in traffic in the rotary by the difference between the influx and outflux of vehicles, where the outflux of vehicles depends on the amount of traffic in the rotary:. (2)An IntermediateModelThe model above simplifies the dynamics of a traffic circle. The mostglaring simplifications are that there is no way to indicate that the circle has a maximum capacity and that the flow rate into the traffic circle s i does not depend on the amount of traffic already circulating. These are both corrected by proposing that the traffic circle has a maximum capacity C max. As the number of vehicles circling approaches this maximum capacity, it should become more difficult for another vehicle to merge into the circle. At the extreme, when the traffic circle is operating at capacity, no more vehicles should be able to be added. Now, the s i in the previous model can be represented logistically as,where r i is how fast vehicles would join the circle if there were no traffic slowing them down. Thus, the equation governing the rate at which the i th queue length changes becomes, (3)and the equation for the number of vehicles in the traffic circle becomes(4)A CongestionModelThe previous two models still fail to take into account congestion, which alters the circulation speed, which in turn affects the departure rate d i of vehicles from the circle. Equation (3) still holds, but we need to vary d i. The vehicles will travelfaster if there is no congestion, so they will be able to depart at their fastest rate d i,max. When the circle is operating at maximum capacity, the departure rate will decrease to be d i,min. Thus, the number of vehicles present in the circle is affectedpositively in the same manner as in (4),butthe lessening factor changes to the weighted average of theExtendingthe Model Using ComputerSimulationWe create a computer simulation in Matlab to account for variables that would be too complicated to use in the mathematical model. The mathematical model does not address the vehicles’ speeds while inside the traffic circle, so the computersimulationfocuses mostly on areas related to vehicle speed:•enablingspeed), drivers to accelerate to fill gaps in the traffic (with a maximum•forcing drivers to decelerate to maintain distance between vehicles,•requiringing the circle,that drivers accelerate and decelerate when entering and exit-•giving probabilistic weights to the different directions of travel, • keeping track of time spent within the traffic circle for each vehicle, and•giving each intersection a different vehicle introduction rate.Figure 2 on p. 250 shows an outline of the program flow and design.SimulationAssumptionsThis model makes several key assumptions about the vehicles and the circle:•Allandvehiclesdecelerateareatthethesamesamesize,rate.have the same top speed, and accelerate•The circle has four intersections and a single lane of traffic.•All drivers have the same spatial tolerance.•There are no pedestrians trying to cross the circle.LimitationsThe assumption of one lane is not a key factor, because we assume that vehicles travel at the same speed. Hence, we do not need to put the slow vehicles in one lane and vehicles passing them in another lane. However, in reality there will indeed be slower vehicles, and vehicles decelerating to exit would offer opportunities for other vehicles to use a different lane to maintain a faster speed. Additionally, we cannot let emergency vehicles through the circle if there is only one lane; for a more detailed discussion of emergency vehicles and traffic circles, see Mundell [ n.d. ].By not allowing control devices inside the circle, we restrict possible configurations. We also limit the effectiveness of our stoplight model; it preventsvehiclesfromenteringthecirclebutdoesnotinhibitthemovement of vehicles within in the circle.Figure 2. Program flow. Each intersection is modeled as a queue of vehicles with a traffic control device. Vehicles are added to the queue at a constant rate. For a vehicle to leave the queue and enter the traffic circle, the area in the circle must be clear of other vehicles. Additionally, if the queue has a traffic light, the light must be active.Since we do not allow for different vehicle properties (size, acceleration, top speed, etc.), we cannot model the effects of large trucks, motorcycles, or other nonstandard vehicles (such as large and unwieldy emergency vehicles) on the flow of traffic.Givingallofthevehiclesthesameaccelerationandtopspeed,alongwith forcing all drivers to have the same spatial tolerance, prevents modeling aggressivedriversandtheirinteractionwithtimidones. Additionally, since cars in the simulation decelerate before exiting, even if they are already moving slowly, we generate a small proportion of false traffic backups.Limitingthe size and numberof intersectionsof the circle does not really limit our ability to model real-world traffic circles. Since we are mostly looking at driver behavior with the computer simulation, we should see the same behaviors as wescale up the circle and its corresponding traffic.Analyzingthe ModelsThe Simplest ModelIn all of the above models, the rate r i is indicative of the regulation imposed atthe i th intersection. A near-zero r i indicates that a traffic light is in use; a larger r i indicates that a yield sign, regulating only the incoming traffic, is in place.For the simplest model, we can use (1) and (2) to find explicit formulae for the queue length and the number of vehicles in the rotary by integrating with respect to time:.Therefore, given the inputs of the system, we can predict the queue length. To minimize the queue length, we solve (1) for when the queue length is decreasing (dQ i/dt < 0) and find that the s i term should be maximized.IntermediateModelFor the model with a carrying capacity, again we find explicit formulae for the queue length and the number of vehicles in the rotary:.We can also solve for where (3) is less than zero to find the service rates for which the queue lengths are decreasing:.CongestionModelIn modeling congestion, the model is too complex to intuit what conditions would minimize the queue length. The differential equation (5) is quadratic:Figure 3. The relationship between dC/dt and C for the congestion model using sample parameters values r1 = r2 = r3 = r4 = 60, d1,max = d2,max = d3,max = d4,max = 2, d1,min = d2,min = d3,min = d4,min =0.5, and C max =30. where.Since d i,max > d i,min, it will always be the case that A > 0. In addi-tion, B <P0 and D >P0. This meansthat the curvefor dC/dt is a concave-up quadratic curve with a positive y-intercept and a global minimum at some C > 0. Furthermore, for C = C max, we have,which is always negative for d i,min > 0. Thus, the global minimum for the curve must be in the fourth quadrant. Figure 3 shows an example of such a curve, using sample parameters.We notice from Figure 3 that there are two equilibrium points for the differential equation:is a stable equilibrium point, andis an unstable equilibrium point.Also, since for C = C max, we have dC/dt < 0, the number of vehicles will eventuallydecrease to an equilibrium value less than C limit < C max.Since our metric for how well a traffic circle operates depends on how many vehicles are in the queues, we would like the queue flow (a i −s i) to be as small as possible. In other words, we would like s i to be as large as possible. In the congestion model, the queue flow is given by (3).Without loss of generality, we analyze queue 1. The equations for each queue differ only by their a i and r i, and we keep these the same for each queues in the simulations. Since the only changing variable in (3) is C, when C = C limit the queue length Q1 will also be at its equilibrium.Using this fact, we can evaluate whether to use a traffic light or not and how long the light should be red. We compare different values for the servicerateconstant r1 andthevalueof dQ1/dt at C = C limit. Theresultscan be seen inFigure 4, which shows that when r1 increases, dQ1/dt decreases.Figure 4. The relationship between r1 and dC/dt for the congestion model withC = C limit. The parameter values are d1,max = d2,max = d3,max = d4,max = 2, d1,min = d2,min = d3,min = d4,min =0.5, C max =30, and r1 changed from 1 to 60.A real-life situation is congestion of the traffic circle. Decreasing d1,min would cause vehicles to exit the circle more slowly when there is more congestion. Using lower departure rates to approximate slower vehicle speedsinsidethecircle,wecanexaminewhathappensfordecreasingvalues of d1,min.The results are shown in Figure 5. For values of d1,min < 0.5, the smallest value for dQ1/dt is not at r1 = 60 but at a smaller value.Another situation that the congestion model can approximate is additional lanes. A crude approximation is that each lane adds C max to the capacity. Figure6 shows the results of plotting r1 versusthe C max for different numbers of lanes. As in the previous plots, the correlation is negative.SimulationResultsAn interesting effect that we see in our simulation is the buildup of vehicles in front of each exit. As vehicles decelerate to exit, they force vehiclesbehindthemtodeceleratetomaintainasafedistance. Thisbuildup creates a longer queue at the intersection before the exit, since the buildup prevents those vehicles from entering the circle. In Figure 7, we see a large number of vehicles in the fourth queue and a buildup in the fourth quadrant.Figure 5. The relationship between r1 and dC/dt for the congestion model with C = C limit, with parameter values d1,max = d2,max = d3,max = d4,max =2, and C max =30. The values of r1 range from 1 to 60 for different values of d1,min.Figure 6. The relationship between r1 and dC/dt for the congestion model withC = C limit. The parameter values are d1,max = d2,max = d3,max = d4,max = 2, d1,min = d2,min = d3,min = d4,min =0.5,C max =30, and r1 changed from 1 to 60.Figure 7. Vehicles build up before the first intersection as vehicles slow down to exit. Additionally, the queue at the fourth intersection is quite long, because vehicles cannot enter the traffic circle.Another interesting element of real life that the simulation shows is the bunching and expanding effect that vehicles experience. Because vehicles can decelerate more quickly than they accelerate, the vehicles bunch up behind a slow movingvehicle, then expand again as that vehicle accelerates into the freespace ahead. Figure 8 shows an example of this compaction.Figure 8. The arrow in the second quadrant points out a real-life effect, bunching, which happens because drivers decelerate faster than they accelerate.Wetestseveralrotaryandvehiclesetupstoexploreoptimalcircledesign:•A single intersection with high arrival and service rates creates a large traffic buildup in the quadrant immediately following it, even though the vehicles have random destinations. Figure 9 shows the buildup in quadrant 1 when the first intersection (at angle 0) has a high arrival and service rate. However, queue 1 is not appreciably longer than the others.Figure9. Thefirstintersectionhasbothhigharrivalandservicerates,whichcreatesatrafficbuildup before the next intersection. However, the queue for the first intersection does not increase, since there is limited traffic coming from the intersection behind it.•One intersection having a much higher chance of being a destination creates the expected buildup in front of the likely exit (Figure 10). However, it also creates a substantial buildup in front of the previous exit and a severe increase in that intersection’s queue as vehicles are prevented from entering the circle.The buildup in the adjacent road must be taken into account when constructing a traffic circle at a high-volume intersection.•If one intersection has a high service rate and the standard arrival rate, and another intersectionhas a high arrival rate and standard service rate, the traffic distribution is mostly random, with a slight tendency towards backupsinthequadrantfollowingtheintersectionwithhighservicerate. We expectthis result, since the intersectionwith high servicerate can add only as many vehicles as in its queue, which is limited by its low arrival rate. Also, the intersection with high arrival rate and low service rate has a much longer queue than the other intersections, entirely as expected.ConclusionWe model the dynamics of a traffic circle to determine how best to regulate traffic into the circle. As shown in Figure6 on p. 256, increased capacity decreases the queue flow, which leads to a decrease in queue length. This result indicates that a multiple-lane traffic circle might better accommodate more cars by decreasing the length of the queue in which they wait. However, as shown in the same figure, the marginal utility of increasing the maximum capacity does decrease. When applying a cost function ( with cost proportional to the space that the circle occupies), there would exist anFigure 10. The first intersection has a higher probability of being chosen as a destination. This creates a buildup in front of that intersection and a smaller buildup in front of the previous intersection. It also creates a very large increase in the queue of the previous intersection since those vehicles cannot enter the full circle.optimum size of the traffic circle.Althoughthesimplermodelsindicatethatlettingvehiclesintotherotary as fast as possible would be optimum, analysis of the congestion model shows that if d i,min is sufficiently small, then the highest service rate is no longer optimal. The implication of this result is that traffic lights could make travel through the rotary more efficient. When many vehicles use the traffic circle, such as during the morning and evening commutes, there could be enough vehicles so that the C limit is reached. In this case, using traffic lights would help ease congestion. However, the duration of the red light should be adjusted according to the d i,min for the specific traffic circle.In addition to the mathematical models, we create a computer simulation that tracks individual vehicles’ progress through the traffic circle, and their effect on other vehicles. Our simulation shows several traffic effects that can be observed in real life, namely a buildup of vehicles in front of the exits and vehicles bunching together and expanding apart as drivers brake and accelerate. We also test several traffic circle configurations.RecommendationsBased on both our mathematicaland computer models, we recommend:•Yield signs should be the standard traffic control device. Most of the time, letting vehicles enter the circle as quickly as possible is optimal.•For a high-traffic rotary, traffic lights should be used. With high traffic, slowing the rate of entry into the circle helps prevent congestion.•If any single road has high traffic, its vehicles should be given preference in entering the circle. Doing so helps prevent a large queue.•Introduce separate exit lanes. Traffic can build up in front of each intersection as cars exit, so a separate exit lane could help keep traffic moving.ReferencesMundell, Jim. n.d.

标题:一个环来控制一切:优化交通圈。
安德里亚•利维亚伦安德烈娅•利维拉塞尔•梅里克哈维姆德学院顾问:苏珊摘要我们的目的是利用车辆动力学考虑在圆形交叉路口的道路情况。
我们主要根据进入圆形道路的速度决定最好的方式来控制车流量。
我们假设在一个车道通过圆形道路循环,这样交通输入量能够被调节。
(也就是,不会有优先的交通输入量)对于我们的模型,可改变的参数是排队等候进入的速率,进入圆形道路的速率(服务速率),这个圆形道路最大的容量和离开这个道路的速率。
我们使用带有队列和交通圈的隔室模型作为隔间。
来自外界的车辆首先进行排队等候,然后进入圆环交叉路口,最后离开到外界。
我们把服务速率和离开速率作为在圆环交叉路口的车辆数量参考。
另外,我们利用计算机来拟态一个可见表示,发生在不同情形下的圆环交叉路口。
允许我们检验不同的情况,例如不平等的交通流量由于不同的队列,一些十字路口比其他车辆有一个更高的概率。
这个拟态模仿实施栩栩如生,例如如何当前面是空道路时进行加速,而当前面有其他车辆时进行减速。
大多数情况下,我们发现:一个高服务效率能够保持交通顺畅的最佳方式,这意味着对于进入交通的效率是最有效的。
然而,当交通变得拥堵时,较低的服务率更好的适应了交通,这指示应该使用一个红绿灯。
所以,在不同时间段,依靠预测中的交通流量,一个信号灯应该被安装进行循环实现。
图1注:一个简单的交通圈,交通圈可能有一个以上的车道,并可能有不同数量的十字路口。
我们方法的主要优势是,模型简单,能够清楚的看到动态系统。
而且,在模型不容易展现的情况下,关于交通流量,电脑的拟态仿效提供了非常深入的信息,也确保了交通的可视化观察。
我们方法的一些缺点是没有分析多个车道的影响,也没有红灯控制这个循环道路的交通流动。
另外,我们没有方法分析一些意外的情形,例如比起其他交通圈或者行人,车辆有时驱动快,有时慢。
前言交通圈,也叫旋转圈,通过十字交叉路口来控制车辆流动。
根据这个目标,一个交通圈可能要采取不同的形式。
图一战士了一个简单的模型。
一个圈可以有一个或者多个车道;进入交通圈的车辆会见到停车标志,或者一个让车标志;一个交通圈可以有一个大的或者小的半径。
一个交通圈包含不同数量的道路交通。
这些特性影响了交通圈修建的成本,当循环流动,车辆会面对拥堵,所需时间就会增加,队列的大小车辆就会等待进入。
这些每个变量可以作为一个度量评估交通圈的标准。
我们的目标是决定如何最好的控制车辆交通的进口,出口,以及遍历一个交通圈。
我们需要考虑交通循环能力,每个路口的到达和离开速率,以及最初循环下的车辆数。
在每个进入路口,我们的指标是队列的长度。
我们试图根据队列进入循环的变化,通过进入速率,减少队列长度。
对于一个车辆有效地穿过交通圈,在队列中所花费的时间应该最小。
我们做出这样的假设:1.我们假设一天特定的时间,所以参数是常数。
2.有一个简单的交通流通车道(都朝一个方向流动)3.在这个交通圈里,没有什么阻止交通出口处。
4.没有意外情况,比如行人突然穿过。
5.循环速度是常数(没有车辆加速或者减速,或者推出交通圈)6.只有在进入交通循环,任何交通灯在一些位置可以调节。
模型:一个简化的模型我们认为这个系统是连续的。
这个模型假设了,进入队列后面的到达速率和从这个队列进入交通圈的速率在时间上是相互独立的。
所以这个队列长度的变化速率是i i i dQ a s dt=- (1) i Q 表示从这个队列中车的数量,a i 表示进入这个队列车辆到达的速率,s i 表示移动的速率,也叫做从这个队列进入交通圈的速率。
我们引入di 这个参数,表示车辆离开交通圈的速率。
C 表示在这个交通圈里车辆行驶的数量。
通过车辆流入流出,我们去刻画这个交通圈中的改变,其中车辆的流出根据交通圈中通行的数量。
i dc s c di dt=-∑∑ (2) 模型二:上面的模型简化了交通圈的动力装置。
最显著的简化是没有指出这个圈有一个最大的容量,在交通圈中的流动速率并不依赖于已经积累的通行数量。
通过进一步的改进,交通圈有了最大的容纳量max C ,当车辆的循环数量到达最大的容纳量,对于另一个车辆进入这个交通圈里将非常困难。
最大程度下,交通圈在最大容量下运行,不在会有车辆进入。
这时,在最初的模型中si 可以被表示为:maxC s (1)C i i r =- 其中ri 表示在没有车辆减速时,加入这个交通圈的速率。
所以,这个等式控制着队列长度的变化速率maxd (1)i i i Q C a r dt C =-- (3) 在这个交通圈中车辆数量的等式是maxd (1)i i C C r d C dt C =--∑∑ (4) 拥挤模型的建立以上两种模型仍没有考虑到拥挤状况,对流通速度的影响,以及对车辆离开速率di 的影响。
方程式(3)依然成立,但是我们需要改变di 。
如果没有拥挤,车辆行驶会更快,因此他们能够以最快的速度di.max 离开。
当这个交通圈以最大容量运作,离开的速度将会减少到最小di.max ,所以,目前在这个交通圈中车辆的数量必将影响等式(4),但减少因素的改变可以取最大值和最小值的平均数。
,max ,min max max maxd (1)[(1)()]i i i C C C C r C d d dt C C C =---+∑∑∑(5) 利用计算机仿真进行宽展模型我们用matlab 创建了一个电脑模拟,目的是解释在数学模型中复杂的参量。
当在交通圈里时,数学模型不能解决车辆的速度,所以电脑模拟主要关注车辆速度。
最大的速度,确保司机加快速度填补交通差距。
迫使司机减速来保持车辆之间的距离。
当进入和退出交通圈时,要求司机加速和减速。
对于不同的同行方向,给出概率权重。
对于每一个车辆,保持跟踪时间花费在交通圈内对每个十字路口,给说不同的车辆速度图2在252页。
显示了一个轮廓的程序流程和设计。
模拟假设这个模型对车辆和交通圈做了许多关键的假设。
所有车辆都是相同的大小,相同的最高速率和以同样的速度加速和减速交通圈有四个十字路口和一个单一的交通车道。
所有司机有相同的容忍限制没有行人横穿这个交通圈图2 程序流注:每个路口被建模为一个队列的车辆交通控制装置。
车辆被添加到队列以恒定速率。
车辆离开队列,进入交通圈,在圈中的该区域必须清除其他的交通工具。
另外,如果队列有一个红绿灯,灯必须是可以使用的。
因为我们不考虑不同的车辆属性(大小、加速度、最大速度等),所以我们在交通流量中不以大卡车、摩托车、或其他非标准工具(如大型和笨拙的紧急车辆)做模型。
给所有的车辆相同的加速度和最高速度,以及迫使所有的驱动程序都必须有相同的空间公差,防止好斗的的司机和胆小的司机发生摩擦。
此外,由于模拟中汽车在出口前已经减速,即使他们已经缓慢的移动,我们生成一个小比例的虚假流量备份。
限制大小和十字路口的数量的圈子并不真正限制我们来模拟现实世界中的交通圈。
因为我们主要是看计算机模拟中司机的行为,我们将按照相同的行为和相应的交通来扩大交通圈的规模。
分析模型最简单的模型在所有上述模型,在第i 路口强制限定速度r 。
一个接近于零的r 表明一个交通灯正在使用当中;一个更大的r 表明一个让车标志,调节只有适当的传入车辆。

为了使队列长度最小化,当队列长度逐渐减到(dQildt < 0)时我们解决(1),发现si 术语应该最大化。
中级模型因为模型有一定的承载力,我们又找到明确的公式计算队列长度和汽车的数量。

当队列长度减少:max 1C C a r i i -> 拥塞模型在建立拥堵模型时,模型太过于复杂,很难凭直觉知道什么条件下会使队列长度最小化。

此外,对于max C C =,有,maxmin ,C d dt dC i -= 对于0min ,>i d 总是负面的。
因此,全局最低的曲线必须在第四象限。
图3展示了这样一个使用样本参数的曲线。
从图3中,我们注意到有两个平衡积分微分方程:AAD B B C 242---=是一个稳定的平衡点,并且 AAD B B C 242-+-=是一个不稳定的平衡点。
而且因为max C C =,我们有dt dC / <0,汽车的数量最终会减少到一个平衡值小于max lim C C it <的值。
