Abstract: An improved algorithm for largest Lyapunov exponent is put forward for rapid identification of chaos in traffic flow based on Zuo Binwu’s algorithm. The chaos of expressway traffic flow is studied with the improved algorithm ...

Abstract: It is very important to quantitatively describe the disorder motion in traffic flow to study transition process between disorder motion and order motion. A definition of the disorder motion in traffic flow was given in ...

Abstract: This paper examines the use of the measured bending stiffness reduction of a prestressed concrete bridge to evaluate its residual bearing capacity (RBC). To create a clear correlation between bending stiffness and the RBC, ...
