Unit 1 The Evolution of Transport交通工具的演化The evolution of transport has been closely linked to the development ofhumankind throughout the earth’s history.Transport’s early function was to meet the basic need of hauling food supplies and building materials.But with the formation of tribes,then peoples,and finally nations,the societal and economic functions of transport became m ore and more complex. At first there was mobility required for individuals,clans,households,and animals to protect them against,and to escape from,the dangers of natural disasters and tribal aggressions,and in the search for the best places to settle.As tribal groups formed and gradually established their geographical identity,transport was increasingly needed to open up regions for development,to provide access to natural resources,to promote intercommunal trade,and to mobilize territorial defense.When the first nations came into being,transport played a major rolein establishing national integrity.交通工具的演变紧密相连的人类在整个地球的历史发展。

土木工程学院交通工程专业中英文翻译Road Design专业:交通工程英文原文The Basics of a Good RoadWe have known how to build good roads for a long time. Archaeologists have found ancient Egyptian roadsthat carried blocks to the pyramids in 4600 BCE. Later,the Romans built an extensive road system, using the same principles we use today. Some of these roads are still in service.If you follow the basic concepts of road building, you will create a road that will last. The ten commandments of a good road are:(1)Get water away from the road(2)Build on a firm foundation(3)Use the best materials(4)Compact all layers properly(5)Design for traffic loads and volumes(6)Design for maintenance(7)Pave only when ready(8)Build from the bottom up(9)Protect your investment(10)Keep good records1.Get water away from the roadWe can’t overemphasize the importance of good drainage.Engineers estimate that at least 90% of a road’s problems can be related to excess water or to poor waterdrainage. Too much water in any layer of a road’sstructure can weaken that la yer, leading to failure.In the surface layer, water can cause cracks and potholes. In lower layers it undermines support, causing cracks and potholes. A common sign of water in an asphalt road surface is alligator cracking — an interconnected pattern of cracks forming small irregular shaped pieces that look like alligator skin. Edge cracking, frost heaves, and spring breakup of pavements also point to moistureproblems.To prevent these problems remember that water:• flows downhill• needs to flow somepla ce• is a problem if it is not flowingEffective drainage systems divert, drain and dispose of water. To do this they use interceptor ditches and slopes,road crowns, and ditch and culvert systems.Divert —Interceptor ditches, located between the road and higher ground along the road, keep the water from reaching the roadway. These ditches must slope so they carry water away from the road.Drain —Creating a crown in the road so it is higher along the centerline than at the edges encourages water to flow off the road. Typically a paved crown should be 1⁄4" higher than the shoulder for each foot of width from the centerline to the edge. For gravel surfaces the crown should be 1⁄2" higher per foot of width. For this flow path to work, the road surface must be relatively water tight. Road shoulders also must be sloped away from the road to continue carrying the flow away. Superelevations (banking) at the outside of curves will also help drainthe road surface.Dispose —A ditch and culvert system carries water away from the road structure. Ditches should be at least one foot lower than the bottom of the gravel road layer that drains the roadway. They must be kept clean and must be sloped to move water into natural drainage. If water stays in the ditches it can seep back into the road structure and undermine its strength. Ditches should also be protected from erosion by planting grass, or installing rock and other erosion control measures. Erosion can damage shoulders and ditches, clog culverts, undermine roadbeds, and contaminate nearby streams and lakes. Evaluate your ditch and culvert system twice a year to ensure that it works. In the fall, clean out leaves and branches that can block flow. In spring, check for and remove silts from plowing and any dead plant material left from the fall.2.Build on a firm foundationA road is only as good as its foundation. A highway wears out from the top down but falls apart from the bottom. The road base must carry the entire structure and the traffic that uses it.To make a firm foundation you may need to stabilize the roadbed with chemical stabilizers, large stone called breaker run, or geotextile fabric. When you run into conditions where you suspect that the native soil is unstable, work with an engineer to investigate the situation and design an appropriate solution.3.Use the best materialsWith all road materials you “pay now or pay later.” Inferior materials may require extensive maintenance throughout the road’s life. They may also force you to replace the road prematurely.Crushed aggregate is the best material for the base course. The sharp angles of thecrushed material interlock when they are compacted. This supports the pavement and traffic by transmitting the load from particle to particle. By contrast, rounded particles act like ballbearings, moving under loads.Angular particles are more stable than rounded particles.Asphalt and concrete pavement materials must be of the highest quality, designed for the conditions, obtained from established firms, and tested to ensure it meets specifications.4.Compact all layersIn general, the more densely a material is compacted, the stronger it is. Compaction also shrinks or eliminates open spaces (voids) between particles. This means that less water can enter the structure. Water in soil can weaken the structure or lead to frost heaves. This is especially important for unsurfaced (gravel) roads. Use gravel which has a mix of sizes (well-graded aggregate) so smaller particles can fill the voids between larger ones. Goodcompaction of asphalt pavement lengthens its life.5.Design for traffic loads and volumesDesign for the highest anticipated load the road will carry. A road that has been designed only for cars will not stand up to trucks. One truck with 9 tons on a single rear axle does as much damage to a road as nearly 10,000 cars.Rural roads may carry log trucks, milk trucks, fire department pumper trucks, or construction equipment. If you don’t know what specific loads the road will carry, a good rule of thumb is to design for the largest piece of highway maintenance equipment that will be used on the road.A well-constructed and maintained asphalt road should last 20 years without major repairs or reconstruction. In designing a road, use traffic counts that project numbers and sizes of vehicles 20 years into the future. These are only projections, at best, but they will allow you to plan for traffic loadings through a road’s life.6.Design for maintenanceWithout maintenance a road will rapidly deteriorate and fail. Design your roads so they can be easily maintained. This means:• adequate ditches that can be cleaned regularly• culverts that are marked for easy locating in the spring• enough space for snow after it is plowed off the road• proper cross slopes for safet y, maintenance and to avoid snow drifts• roadsides that are planted or treated to prevent erosion• roadsides that can be mowed safelyA rule of thumb for adequate road width is to make it wide enough for a snowplow to pass another vehicle without leaving the travelled way.Mark culverts with a post so they can be located easily.7.Pave only when readyIt is not necessary to pave all your roads immediately. There is nothing wrong with a well-built and wellmaintained gravel road if traffic loads and volume do not require a paved surface. Three hundred vehicles per day is the recommended minimum to justify paving.Don’t assume that laying down asphalt will fix a gravel road that is failing. Before you pave, make sure you have an adequate crushed stone base that drains well and is properly compacted. The recommended minimum depth of crushed stone base is 10" depending on subgrade soils. A road paved only when it is ready will far outperform one that is constructed too quickly.8.Ê Build from the bottom upThis commandment may seem obvious, but it means that you shouldn’t top dress or resurface a road if the problem is in an underlying layer. Before you do any road improvement, locate the cause of any surface problems. Choose an improvement technique that will address the problem. This may mean recycling or removing all road materials down to the native soil and rebuilding everything. Doing any work that doesn’t solve the problem is a waste of money and effort.9.Ê Protect your investmentThe road system can be your municipality’s biggest investment. Just as a home needs painting or a new roof, a road must be maintained. Wisconsin’s severe climate requires more road maintenance than in milder places. Do these important maintenance activities: Surface —grade, shape, patch, seal cracks, control dust, remove snow and iceDrainage —clean and repair ditches and culverts; remove all excess materialRoadside —cut brush, trim trees and roadside plantings, control erosionTraffic service —clean and repair or replace signsDesign roads with adequate ditches so they can be maintained with a motor grader. Clean and grade ditches to maintain proper pitch and peak efficiency. After grading, remove all excess material from the shoulder.10.Keep good recordsYour maintenance will be more efficient with good records. Knowing the road’s construction, life, and repair history makes it much easier to plan and budget its future repairs. Records can also help you evaluate the effectiveness of the repair methods and materials you used.Good record keeping starts with an inventory of the system. It should include the history and surface condition of the roadway, identify and evaluate culverts and bridges, note ditch conditions, shoulders, signs, and such structures as retaining walls and guardrails.Update your inventory each year or when you repair or change a road section. A formal pavement management system can help use these records and plan and budget road improvements.ResourcesThe Basics of a Good Road#17649, UW-Madison, 15 min. videotape.

Unit3I ntroductionTransport telematics, also known as intelligent transport systems (ITS), are concerned with the application of electronic information and control to improve transport. Some new systems have already been implemented and the pace of implementation can be expected to quicken. With a crystal ball, we can foresee how a typical journey to work may look in 10 years time.Before leaving home, you check your travel arrangements over tile internet. Often you choose to travel by public transport and you can identify travel times and any interruptions affecting the service. On this occasion, you choose to travel by car as you have an appointment later in the day at one of those oldfashioned business parks that are inaccessible by public transport. There are no incidents recorded on your normal route to work so you do not bother to use your computer route model to select an optimum route for you.Once in your car, you head for the motorway and select the cruise control, lane support and collision avoidance system, allowing you to concentrate on your favorite radio service. Suddenly, this is intelrupted by the radio traffic-message channel service giving you information about an incident on your route. You are not surprised when, at the next junction, the roadside variable message sign (VMS) corffirms this; motorway messages really are believable now!You feel pleased with yourself that you have preceded your in-car navigation system with the coordinates of your final destination, and soon you are obtaining instructions on your best route with information updated from the local travel control center.As you near your place of work, you are aware of roadside messages informing you of the next park and ride service. You choose to ignore these as you will need to make a quick getaway for your appointment. You then check that your travel card is clearly displayed inside the car; you don't want to be fined for not having a positive credit for the city's road pricing and parking service! The same card gives you clearance to your parking space; you activate your parking vision and collision control just to be sure of not scratching the MD' s car next to you.Using transport telematicsAll these information and control services, and many more besides, are discussed in the UK Government' s eonsuhation document. One way of categorising these services is into the following application areas: (1)traffic management and control(2)tolling and road pricing(3)road safety and law eifforeement(4)public transport travel information and ticketing(5)driver information and guidance(6)freight and fleet management(7)vehicle safety(8)system integrationAll these applications are being developed with assistance from research and pilot implementation programmnes in Europe, USA and Japan.Traffic management and controlAny traffic management and control system needs information on traffic flows, speeds, queues, inci-dents (accidents, vehicle breakdowns, obstructions) air quality and vehicle types, lengths and weights.This information will be collected using infrared, radio, loop, radar, and microwave or vision detectors.In addition, public and private organizations will provide information on planned events (roadworks, leisure events, exhibitions).The use to which this information is put depends on the objectives set for management and control.Network management objectives set for urban areas include: (1)influencing traveller behaviour, in particular modal choice, route choice and the time at which journeys are made.(2)reducing the impact of traffic on air quality.(3)improving priority for buses and LRT vehicles.(4)providing better and safer facilities for pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users.(5)restraining traffic in sensitive areas.(6)managing demand and congestion more efficiently.The software systems used will include control applications such as SCOOT, SCATS, SPOT and MOTION. These are responsive systems, which control a network of traffic signals to meet these objectives. Automatic vehicle location and identification will provide information for giving priority or allowing access to certain vehicles only.Interurban network management systems will have similar objectives but will make greater use of access control by ramp metering and other means, and of speed control and high-occupancy vehicle lane management. Regional traffic control centers will advise motorist of incidents and alternative routes by VMS and by RDS-TMC, a signal FM radio service broadcasting localized traffic messages and advice to drivers.Tolling and road pricingInterurban motorway tolling and urban road pricing provide another approach to meeting network management objectives while obtaining additional revenue that can be invested in transport. Singapore's electronic zone pricing, the TOLLSTAR electronic toll collection andADEPT automatic debiting smart cards are examples of such applications. These systems rely on microwave or radio communication to anin-vehicle transponder in a smart card with detection of vehicle licence plates using image processing for enforcement purposes.Public transport travel information and ticketingTravel information is needed by passengers at home or office and also during their journey. London Transport's ROUTES computer-based service offers routing, timetable and fares information on all public transport services in London through public inquiry terminals.Real-time travel information is provided in London by the COUNTDOWN system which is being expanded to cover 4000 bus stops. A similar system called STOPWATCH is available in Southampton as part of the ROMANSE project and is based on Peek' s Bus Tracker system which can detect buses using either radio beacons or GPS (Global Positioning System) which uses satellites to identify locations.ROMANSE also includes TRIP lanner interactive enquiry terminals with touch screens providing travel information.Problems with tickets for through journeys can be a deterrent for travelers choosing public transport.Smartcard stored-value tickets can provide a single ticket for car parking and all legs of a journey served by different operators.Driver information and guidanceDriver information systems include the RDS-TMC radio data system-traffic message ehannel, initially trialled between London and Paris in the PLEIADES project and elsewhere in Europe in similar EC-funded projects. There is also the Traffic master service which uses infrared monitors to identify congestion and an in-car visual map-based screen to inform drivers of congestion.Driver guidance systems aim to take this a step further by informing drivers of their route and giving guidance on navigation. Communication between the control center and the vehicle can be by roadside beacon or by digital cellular radio networks based on GSM (global system of mobile communications) as in SOCRATES. Commercial products include Daimler Benz's copilot dynamic route guidance system trialled in Berlin and Stuttgart and Philip's Car Systems CARIN. Similar products, such as the VICS advanced mobile information service, are commonly available in Japan.翻译:介绍交通通讯,也被称为智能交通系统(它的),与应用电子信息和控制,提高运输。

Do Traffic Tickets Reduce Motor Vehicle Accidents

交通工程专业英语结课论文Do Traffic Tickets Reduce Motor Vehicle Accidents? Evidence from a Natural ExperimentDara Lee Luca土木与交通学院交通工程袁小会20110XXXXDo Traffic Tickets Reduce Motor Vehicle Accidents?Evidence from a Natural ExperimentDara Lee Luca∙First published:18 September 2014Full publication history∙DOI:10.1002/pam.21798AbstractThis paper analyzes the effect of traffic tickets on motor vehicle accidents.Ordinary least squares (OLS) estimate may be upward biased because police officers tend to focus on areas where and periods when there is heavy traffic and thus higher rates of accidents. This paper exploits the dramatic increase in tickets during the Click-it-or-Ticket campaign to identify the causal impact of tickets on accidents using data from Massachusetts. I find that ticketssignificantly reduce accidents and nonfatal injuries. I provide suggestiveevidence that tickets have a larger impact at night and on female drivers.INTRODUCTIONReducing motor vehicle accidents is a key concern for health policy makers.Motor vehicle accidents cause more than 40,000 deaths and several millioninjuries each year, and are also the leading cause of death among children in the United States (Center for Disease Control and Prevention,2011). While a large body of literature examines the impact of regulations and technological innovations, such as seat belts, airbags, and child safety seats (Braveret al.,1997; Carpenter & Stehr,2008; Levitt,2008), there has been considerably less work on the effect of traffic law enforcement. In particular, whether traffic tickets—the primary traffic law enforcement tool—are effective in decreasing road accidents remains an open question. Addressing the question is complicated by the issue of reverse causality—more police officers tend to be stationed at areas and during periods with higher rates of traffic accidents, in which case ordinary least squares (OLS) estimate of the effect of traffic tickets on accidents may be upward biased.Further, while the ostensible goal of traffic tickets is to improve road safety, recent literature demonstrates that traffic tickets are often used as a tool to generate revenue for local municipality budgets (Garrett & Wagner,2009; Makowsky & Stratmann,2009).1There is also compelling evidence that police officers are influenced by personal preferences when giving out tickets (Anbarci & Lee,2008; Antonovics & Knight,2009).2It is thus unclear whether tickets would fulfill their intended purpose of increasing road safety.The limited existing literature on the impact of traffic law enforcement on motor vehicle accidents has provided mixed results. Carr, Schnelle, and Kirchner (1980) use the Nashville traffic police strike in 1978 as a natural experimentand report no significant deterioration in road safety during the strike. Conversely, Beenstock, Gafni, and Goldin (2001) use panel data on road sections in Israel and find some evidence that large-scale enforcement reduces road accidents, but that small-scale enforcement has no effect. More recently, DeAngelo and Hansen (2014) demonstrate that the mass layoff of the Oregon State Police due to budget cuts was associated with a marked increase in injuries and fatalities. Makowsky and Stratmann (2011) use the financial health of a town as an instrument for the number of tickets issued to demonstrate that more tickets lead to fewer accidents. However, most of the existing studies use the number of police officers as the measure of traffic law enforcement, which may not be accurate because police have other duties besides patrolling traffic. Monthly data could also obscure the sensitivity of the behavior of drivers to traffic tickets.This paper exploits exogenous variation in the number of tickets issued to identify the causal impact of traffic tickets on motor vehicle accidents using daily municipality-level data from Massachusetts. In the fall of 2002, Massachusetts participated for the first time in the Click-it-or-Ticket (CIOT) program, a federal program that was initiated and funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The program is carried out throughout the federal y ear through six “mobilizations” of one to two week periods, during which designated police officers specifically and aggressively focus on traffic law enforcement. Although the program focuses on seat beltuse, Massachusetts had a secondary seat belt law until 2007, which meant that while drivers and passengers were required to wear seat belts, police could not pull them over solely for failing to wear a seat belt. The motorist would have to be committing another traffic offense, such as speeding, in order for the police to have sufficient grounds for pulling a motorist over. Thus, I argue that the main impact of the CIOT campaign is to increase the degree of traffic law enforcement overall, and serves as a natural experiment to examine the impact of tickets on motor vehicle accidents.There were two state-wide mobilizations that took place in Massachusetts during November and December of 2002. The November mobilization was held during the two weeks surrounding Thanksgiving and the December mobilization was carried out the week before Christmas. However, these periods were presumably chosen because there are higher traffic volumes (and therefore potentially higher rates of accidents) around holiday periods. To address the concern of endogeneity, I control for the periods that would presumably have been chosen for mobilizations had the campaign taken place in 2001. After controlling for these periods in 2001, calendar and municipality fixed effects, as well as a host of other municipality-specific time-varying variables, the increase in tickets during the actual mobilization periods in 2002 is then arguably exogenous to accidents. Results from reduced form regressions and using the mobilizations as an instrument for tickets bothsuggest that there is a negative and significant relationship between tickets and accidents. The estimated accident elasticity with respect to tickets is approximately −0.28—a 1 percent increase in tickets issued leads to a 0.28 percent decline in motor vehicle accidents. The estimated elasticity of nonfatal injuries with respect to tickets is smaller at −0.17. I demonstrate the reduction in accidents is higher in municipalities that issued more tickets during the mobilizations, which is consistent with the idea that tickets per se are reducing accidents rather than other concurrent factors. The main results are robust to a number of different specification checks. Finally, I show that tickets are more effective in more densely populated areas, and provide suggestive evidence that tickets have a larger impact at night, as well as a larger effect on female drivers. However, tickets do not appear to differentially affect age groups. These results on the heterogeneous effects of tickets may help inform policy makers how to allocate enforcement in order to achieve the highest impact. Data Sources and DescriptionThe data used in this paper are drawn from two main sources. The tickets data include all traffic tickets issued in the state from April 1, 2001, through January 31, 2003, covering all 350 municipalities. The database has detailed information on the offense type, ticket amount, location and time, demographic data about the driver, as well as the model and make of the car. The particular beginning and end dates of the sample period are exogenous to thisstudy—the tickets data set was kindly shared by Bill Dedman and Francie Latour, who first collected the extensive data from the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles for a series of Boston Globe articles examining ticketing behavior and racial profiling in Massachusetts. The authors were not aware of the CIOT program.The motor vehicle accident data are from the Massachusetts Highway Safety Division and includes all accidents that were reported to the Registry of Motor Vehicles for the same period. Each accident includes information on date, time, location, number of vehicles involved, and severity. I also obtain additional demographic data from the Highway Safety Division on the age and gender of the drivers involved in each accident. The demographic data are available only from 2002 onwards. I then link the tickets and accidents data sets by municipality and date to create a panel data set describing the number of tickets issued and accidents for each day in the sample period, for each municipality. The unit of observation is thus at the date/municipality level.In addition to the tickets and accidents data, I collect daily weather information and gas data, which could potentially affect both traffic volume and accidents. The weather data includes daily precipitation, snowfall, snow depth on the ground, and mean temperatures for each municipality based on the closest weather station. There are altogether 57 weather stations that collected daily weather data for the relevant data period, and I link each municipality to itsclosest weather station. Gas data consist of retail prices for regular unleaded gas for each municipality for each day in the sample period.Finally, I include year-varying municipality level data that are intended to capture characteristics that could be correlated with both traffic volume and accidents, such as the municipality unemployment rate, population, number of registered motor vehicles per capita, luxury cars per capita, trucks per capita, motorcycles per capita, and average car age.Instrumental Variable ResultsThe main results of the paper, which are the estimates from the instrumental variable (IV) regressions, are reported in Table4, panel B. As I argue in the identification strategy section, the increase in tickets due to the CIOT mobilizations can be viewed as exogenous after controlling for other factors. There is also a strong first-stage relationship between tickets and the CIOT mobilizations (Table4, columns 1 and 2). The IV model hence uses the CIOT mobilizations as a single instrument for tickets, controlling for the same covariates in equation(1)as well as Treatment Periods to adjust for any confounding differences in traffic conditions due to holiday periods. The coefficients on tickets in columns 3 and 4 imply that a unit increase in tickets decreases accidents by approximately 0.05, and the estimates are statistically significant at the 1 percent level. Since there are on average 4.8 tickets issued and 0.88 accidents in a municipality, this implies the elasticity of accidents withrespect to tickets is approximately −0.28—a 1 percent increase in tickets leads to a 0.28 percent decrease in motor vehicle accidents.7Next, I examine whether tickets have any impact on nonfatal injuries caused by motor vehicle accidents (columns 5 and 6). For injuries, the IV estimate is significant at the 10 percent level when including municipality-specific time-varying controls. If we take the estimate at face value, the elasticity of injuries with respect to tickets would be −0.17. I find no evidence that tickets affect the composition of accidents, that is, the number of injuries relative to total number of accidents (columns 7 and 8).To my knowledge, Makowsky and Stratmann (2011) is the only other study that examines the impact of traffic tickets on road safety. They use the financial health of a town—whether a town asks voters to approve a property tax override referendum—as the instrument for tickets. By putting an override referendum in front of voters, the town board indicates that the town is in fiscal distress and that they would like to raise additional revenue.8They find comparable results. Their IV estimates indicate that a unit increase in tickets leads to 0.12 (SE = 0.034) fewer motor vehicle accidents and 0.044 (SE =0.022) injuries. Their unit of observation is at the month-municipality level and the mean of tickets, accidents, injuries are at 82.68, 36.93, and 15.83, respectively. Their results thus translate into an elasticity of accidents with respect to tickets of −0.27, which is very close to the elasticity found in thispaper. They find a somewhat higher elasticity of injuries with respect to tickets of −0.23.Mechanism: Tickets versus InformationThere are two main mechanisms that could lead to the observed result of fewer accidents during the CIOT mobilizations. The first is a deterrence effect, both for drivers who receive a ticket and those who observe other drivers receiving a ticket. For example, giving a ticket to a driver who was going 80 mph on a road where the speed limit is 55 mph could deter the recipient from further speeding, and thus be less likely to be involved in an accident. There could also be a visual deterrence effect, for example, drivers observe another car being pulled over for speeding and therefore slow down and drive more carefully.Second, it is possible that tickets per se did not drive the reduction in accidents. As noted earlier, there was a concurrent state-wide media campaign during the CIOT periods.9While the media campaign would only be credible if there were an actual increase in ticketing, the estimated impact of tickets on accidents would be overstated if the media campaign was the main mechanism through which accidents were reduced.I argue that the main mechanism was indeed through tickets and not through the spread of information through the media campaign (or other related channels, such as through the social networks of ticketed drivers). First,previous literature suggests that advertising campaigns have no or little effect until accompanied by highly visible enforcement (Elder et al.,2004;Foss,1989; Williams et al.,1987; Wintemute,1992). The prevailing wisdom is that enforcement campaigns are more effective when accompanied by widespread advertising and publicity, but that advertising and publicity alone may only have a short-term effect that soon dissipates in the absence of enforcement. Second, if the spread of information about the CIOT mobilizations was the main mechanism, the reduction in accidents should not vary systematically by how many tickets were written in a particular town. In other words, if ticketing mattered, then it should have had a larger effect in the towns that issued more tickets. In panel A of Table5, I include an interaction term of CIOT and Active Ticketing, a binary variable which I define to be 1 if the average number of tickets issued daily during the CIOT periods exceeded the average number of tickets issued daily in the control periods. This seems to be a reasonable proxy for active traffic enforcement during the mobilizations. Overall, participating municipalities on average give out more tickets, have more accidents, and have higher population densities. It is possible that municipalities that choose to participate have different accident risk factors or marginal costs of ticketing (e.g., municipalities with higher population densities may have higher accident risk factors or lower marginal costs in implementing CIOT).10These municipalities may therefore have larger expected gains from participating in CIOTCONCLUSIONThis paper examines whether traffic tickets affect road safety as measured by motor vehicle accidents. A naïve OLS regression of accidents on tickets suggests that there is no impact of tickets on accidents. However, an analysis using exogenous variation in the number of tickets issued to identify the causal effect of tickets on road safety gives rise to distinctly different results—tickets in fact lead to fewer motor vehicle accidents. Further, tickets help to reduce nonfatal injuries stemming from motor vehicle accidents. In addition, the heterogeneous impact of tickets suggests that there is scope for intervention, for example, by allocating more resources toward municipalities with higher population densities and increase traffic enforcement at night since tickets have a larger impact during nighttime. Also, females appear to be more deterred by traffic law enforcement than men. However, there do not appear to be differences in the impact of tickets on different age groups. Overall, the findings of this paper suggest that as unpopular as traffic tickets are among drivers, motorist behavior does respond to tickets. ACKNOWLEDGMENTSI thank Tom Garrett, Michael Luca, Claudia Olivetti, Daniele Paserman, as well as several anonymous referees, for helpful comments and suggestions. I am grateful to Bill Dedman for sharing the tickets data, multiple sources at the Massachusetts Department of Transportation Highway Division for providingthe accidents and fatalities data, as well as Barbara Rizutti at the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security for providing the demographic breakdown of accident victims.1、Makowsky and Stratmann (2009) show that police officers in towns, which are more budget-strapped are more likely to issue a ticket than a warning. Garrett and Wagner (2009) find that significantly more tickets are issued in counties the year following a decline in revenue.2、Anbarci and Lee (2008) find that minority officers, particularly African Americans, are harsher on all motorists but even harsher on minority motorists. Antonovics and Knight (2009) find evidence for preference-based discrimination among police officers. Their results demonstrate that officers are more likely to stop and search a car if officer race and driver race differ.3、Adjusted for population, however, the accident rate among the 15 to 24 years age group is twice as large as that of the 25 to 64 years age group. A more appropriate measure may be to adjust the number of accidents by the number of drivers on the road from that group, but unfortunately those numbers are not available.4、It should be noted that out-of-state tickets need to be paid just as routinely as in-state tickets, and most states have a reciprocal relationship between other states to keep track of any traffic convictions. Forty-five states and the District of Columbia participate in the Driver License Compact (DLC). Georgia,Michigan, Wisconsin, and Tennessee are the only states that do not participate in this interstate compact.5、This leads to a smaller sample size because there are a number、of observations where zero accidents were recorded.6、While data on fatalities are available, I do not present any analysis on fatalities due to lack of statistical power.7、All results using the level numbers of tickets and accidents (instead of rates per 100 miles) yield similar results and can be obtained by request.8、Their instrument rests on the caveat that the only impact of fiscal distress on motor vehicle accidents is through the number of tickets issued. However, one could imagine that fiscal distress would affect accidents through other channels such as unemployment (and therefore less traffic), poorer road maintenance, and other unobservable variables. The authors attempt to address these issues by including various controls and by using different specifications.9、It is my understanding from discussions with the Massachusetts Highway Safety Division that the main component of the CIOT program, particularly in its inception year, was the increase in traffic law enforcement.10、I revisit this issue in the penultimate section of the paper when I explore heterogeneous effects by municipality population density.译文:难道交通违例减少机动车交通事故?从自然实验证据Dara Lee Luca•第一个首次发布:9月18日2014Full出版史•DOI:10.1002 / pam.21798摘要本文分析了交通罚单的机动车事故的影响。

交通工程专业英语英译汉With the rapid development of transportation engineering, the demand for English-to-Chinese translation in this field has been increasing. This article aims to explore the challenges and opportunities of translating traffic engineering terminology and texts from English to Chinese.**Challenges in Translating Traffic Engineering Terminology**Traffic engineering, being a highly specialized field, possesses a unique vocabulary that often requires a deep understanding of both the source and target languages. For instance, terms such as "traffic flow," "intersection design," and "traffic control systems" must be translated accurately to convey their specific meanings within the context of traffic engineering. Additionally, the use of technical jargon and abbreviations adds further complexity to the translation process.Moreover, cultural differences can pose challenges in translating traffic engineering terms. Concepts that arefamiliar in one culture may not have direct equivalents in another, requiring translators to find creative solutions that maintain the original meaning while adapting to the target culture's context.**Opportunities in Translating Traffic Engineering Texts**Despite the challenges, there are also numerous opportunities in translating traffic engineering texts. Firstly, with the globalization of the transportation industry, there is a growing need for cross-cultural communication. This creates opportunities for translators who are proficient in both English and Chinese to bridge the language gap and facilitate the exchange of ideas and knowledge.Secondly, the advancement of technology has brought about new translation tools and platforms that greatly improve translation efficiency and quality. These tools, such as machine translation and online dictionaries, provide translators with convenient resources to lookup unfamiliar terms and phrases, enabling them to work more efficiently and accurately.Lastly, the increasing demand for traffic engineering expertise in China presents an opportunity for translators to specialize in this field. By specializing in traffic engineering translation, translators can build a reputation and expertise in this area, opening up more translation opportunities and potentially higher compensation.**Conclusion**In conclusion, while translating traffic engineering terminology and texts from English to Chinese can be challenging, it also offers numerous opportunities for translators. By overcoming the linguistic and cultural barriers, translators can play a crucial role in promoting the development of the transportation industry both domestically and internationally.**交通工程专业英语英译汉的挑战与机遇**随着交通工程的快速发展,该领域的英汉翻译需求不断增加。

Finally, problems caused by dwindling world energy resources, particularly petroleum, have increasingly impeded transport services and operations. Most existing transport modes are critically dependent on petroleum derivatives for proper functioning. With unabated growth of demand for transport and a progressively limited supply of energy, the costs of providing transport have increased steadily. In particular, the disproportion of petroleum requirements and petroleum supply has caused serious inflationary problems to arise in many countries. Especially hard hit are countries with a partial or total dependence on an external petroleum supply, which have experienced growing deficits in their current accounts.最后,这些问题引起世界能源资源的日益减少,特别是石油,已越来越多地阻碍交通服务和操作。

大多数现有的运输方式都是以依赖石油衍生品才能正常运转。

随着需求量的增长与不衰减得运输和能源供应的有限,逐步提供运输的成本已经稳步增加。

Unit3IntroductionTransport telematics, also known as intelligent transport systems (ITS), are concerned with the application of electronic information and control to improve transport. Some new systems have already been implemented and the pace of implementation can be expected to quicken. With a crystal ball, we can foresee how a typical journey to work may look in 10 years time.Before leaving home, you check your travel arrangements over tile internet. Often you choose to travel by public transport and you can identify travel times and any interruptions affecting the service. On this occasion, you choose to travel by car as you have an appointment later in the day at one of those oldfashioned business parks that are inaccessible by public transport. There are no incidents recorded on your normal route to work so you do not bother to use your computer route model to select an optimum route for you.Once in your car, you head for the motorway and select the cruise control, lane support and collision avoidance system, allowing you to concentrate on your favorite radio service. Suddenly, this is intelrupted by the radio traffic-message channel service giving you information about an incident on your route. You are not surprised when, at the next junction, the roadside variable message sign (VMS) corffirms this; motorway messages really are believable now!You feel pleased with yourself that you have preceded your in-car navigation system with the coordinates of your final destination, and soon you are obtaining instructions on your best route with information updated from the local travel control center.As you near your place of work, you are aware of roadside messages informing you of the next park and ride service. You choose toignore these as you will need to make a quick getaway for your appointment. You then check that your travel card is clearly displayed inside the car; you don't want to be fined for not having a positive credit for the city's road pricing and parking service! The same card gives you clearance to your parking space; you activate your parking vision and collision control just to be sure of not scratching the MD' s car next to you.Using transport telematicsAll these information and control services, and many more besides, are discussed in the UK Government' s eonsuhation document. One way of categorising these services is into the following application areas: (1)traffic management and control(2)tolling and road pricing(3)road safety and law eifforeement(4)public transport travel information and ticketing(5)driver information and guidance(6)freight and fleet management(7)vehicle safety(8)system integrationAll these applications are being developed with assistance from research and pilot implementation programmnes in Europe, USA and Japan.Traffic management and controlAny traffic management and control system needs information on traffic flows, speeds, queues, inci-dents (accidents, vehicle breakdowns, obstructions) air quality and vehicle types, lengths and weights.This information will be collected using infrared, radio, loop, radar, and microwave or vision detectors.In addition, public and private organizations will provide information on planned events (roadworks, leisure events, exhibitions).The use to which this information is put depends on the objectives set for management and control.Network management objectives set for urban areas include:(1)influencing traveller behaviour, in particular modal choice, route choice and the time at which journeys are made.(2)reducing the impact of traffic on air quality.(3)improving priority for buses and LRT vehicles.(4)providing better and safer facilities for pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users.(5)restraining traffic in sensitive areas.(6)managing demand and congestion more efficiently.The software systems used will include control applications such as SCOOT, SCATS, SPOT and MOTION. These are responsive systems, which control a network of traffic signals to meet these objectives. Automatic vehicle location and identification will provide information for giving priority or allowing access to certain vehicles only.Interurban network management systems will have similar objectives but will make greater use of access control by ramp metering and other means, and of speed control and high-occupancy vehicle lane management. Regional traffic control centers will advise motorist of incidents and alternative routes by VMS and by RDS-TMC, a signal FM radio service broadcasting localized traffic messages and advice to drivers.Tolling and road pricingInterurban motorway tolling and urban road pricing provide another approach to meeting network management objectives while obtaining additional revenue that can be invested in transport. Singapore'selectronic zone pricing, the TOLLSTAR electronic toll collection and ADEPT automatic debiting smart cards are examples of such applications.These systems rely on microwave or radio communication to an in-vehicle transponder in a smart card with detection of vehicle licence plates using image processing for enforcement purposes.Public transport travel information and ticketingTravel information is needed by passengers at home or office and also during their journey. London Transport's ROUTES computer-based service offers routing, timetable and fares information on all public transport services in London through public inquiry terminals.Real-time travel information is provided in London by the COUNTDOWN system which is being expanded to cover 4000 bus stops. A similar system called STOPWATCH is available in Southampton as part of the ROMANSE project and is based on Peek' s Bus Tracker system which can detect buses using either radio beacons or GPS (Global Positioning System) which uses satellites to identify locations.ROMANSE also includes TRIP lanner interactive enquiry terminals with touch screens providing travel information.Problems with tickets for through journeys can be a deterrent for travelers choosing public transport.Smartcard stored-value tickets can provide a single ticket for car parking and all legs of a journey served by different operators.Driver information and guidanceDriver information systems include the RDS-TMC radio data system-traffic message ehannel, initially trialled between London and Paris in the PLEIADES project and elsewhere in Europe in similar EC-funded projects. There is also the Traffic master service which uses infraredmonitors to identify congestion and an in-car visual map-based screen to inform drivers of congestion.Driver guidance systems aim to take this a step further by informing drivers of their route and giving guidance on navigation. Communication between the control center and the vehicle can be by roadside beacon or by digital cellular radio networks based on GSM (global system of mobile communications) as in SOCRATES. Commercial products include Daimler Benz's copilot dynamic route guidance system trialled in Berlin and Stuttgart and Philip's Car Systems CARIN. Similar products, such as the VICS advanced mobile information service, are commonly available in Japan.翻译:介绍交通通信,也被称为智能交通系统(它的),与应用电子信息和操纵,提高运输。

现在被广泛接受的操作步骤是尽量清除原有的或后来移植所有的植物,反之如果将它们保留了下来,那么作为结果这些植物将会腐败并留下孔洞,进而引起沉降。

有时对有选择性的清理相邻的地区也有所要求。

挖方
挖掘是疏松土与岩石将逐步其运离既有的位置,并将其运往填坑或弃土堆的过程。

挖方工具的选择取决于土体或岩体的天然特性、搬运路程的远近与处理方法。

挖掘对象通常为磐石、松石或普通石块,“普通石块”一词意味着挖方对象没有进行除此之外的特殊分类。

磐石,有时候也被成为坚石,几乎都需要进行彻底爆破粉碎,然后由前端装载机或者挖土机装运至卡车或其它运输工具中。

被爆破的岩石将由推土机进行的短距离移动牵引,安装在推土机前端的片叶使得作业高效化。

松石,包括风化岩与混有漂砾的土等,常由装载机与挖掘机直接挖掘而不进行任何爆破。

但有时候,进一步的松动爆破可能会加快装载速度与降低设备磨损并降低总成本,装载机与挖掘机也能轻易实现普通挖掘作业。

近几年,装备在一台履带拖拉机并由一台或多台拖拉机驱动的松土器已经成功应用于破碎松石与带裂隙的岩体。

这些被破碎的岩体紧接着就由拖式铲运机处理并完成通常的挖掘作业。

预算决定了在普通开挖或土方开挖中的分级过程。

当岩石运送距离小于200英尺(60米)或沿着笔直的陡坡运输时,使用履带车或履带式推土机是一种最廉价的选择。

而对于中长距离运输,由橡胶轮运输工具推动的自载铲运机往往更为节约成本,而在自载铲运机上壮哉电力驱动的长桨叶用以将散土装入铲斗中则更为经济。

当运输距离很远或公用高速公路对轴载有限制时,由前端装载机、挖土机或者传送带装载图到后(底)卸式货车则更为经济。

天气有时也能成为决定性因素,例如橡胶轮运载工具在湿滑的路
基上难以作业。

因此刮拉履带式拖拉机在频受暴风雨侵袭的地区更为适用。

在运土过程中有相当多的变数,例如工程的规模与复杂度、岩土的天然性质、气候条件以及机械操作工与监理的知识与技能等。

因此何为最优的挖方设备并没有一个明确的答案。

路堤
“路堤”这一术语指填在沿道路两侧的低地上用以提高路面结构底层强度的填方。

路堤的材料常来源于道路挖方或设计借土区。

线代使用要求建设路堤时要严格实施与控制。

无论是岩石路堤还是土路堤,都是由一次性建设至全高,在此步骤中材料被倒入临时土方中。

如果对其含水量不加以控制并保证密实度的话,可以预见这样的填方将会经历一个沉降过程。

其最初的路面,如果有的话,也只能是临时路面。

而铺筑在高填方上的路面常在填方完成后的1~2年才开始发生沉降。

在20世纪30年代,工程师们发现可以通过在相对较薄的土层上摊铺材料并在接近最佳含水量时进行压实来获取更好的路堤。

这很大程度上归功于更高密实度产生的土粒间更大的强度与更小的沉降与车辙。

层铺法施工同样额可以取得材料自身及其密度及含水量更好的一致性。

由于随之而来的联接与膨胀更为一致,因而层铺法施工也十分有利。

与之相对的,由倾倒法与厚层铺法施工建造的土方中各点间的材料性质、密度与含水量差异可能非常大。

体积变化的不一致性将会导致接缝处的不均匀沉降或肿胀。

如今,工程师们认同正确的路堤使用应采用层铺法,并将土加湿或干燥只最佳含水量时进行密实,与之对应的施工标准也随之设立。

各个机构也开发了各种不同的测试与控制机械来满足这一要求并适应各地不同的土地状况。

有两种不同的基本方法来保证取得特定的密实度。

一种是预先确定作为结果的相对密实度的最小可接受值,然后通过现场密实度试验来保证取得特定的密实度。

第二种是规定修筑路堤的方式方法。

在这种情况下,预先给定了层厚、控制含水量与特定型号车重的经过车轴数量。

现场控制是其最主要的一环。

1979年,美国联邦公路局开展了“过程方法”与“结果”的可选性中间对比研究。

美国联邦公路局对两种对象分别建设了一块400码的控制路段并固定“在额外压力作用下密度无可观测的增长”时压实才算完成。

这一路段的平均密度如果达到实验室测试值的98%及以上,则将其作为标准密度使用。

反之则必须再次进行新的试验。
