Preliminary Invitation and Call for Abstracts Invitation from the Organisers Preliminary Invitation and Call for Abstracts Invitation from the Organisers On behalf of the Organising Committee and the Scientific Committee of IABSE Nanjing 2022, we welcome all the participants and look forward to meeting our colleagues and friends in Nanjing, the city with a history of over 3000 years. In view of functionality as structural engineers, buildings and bridges connect people and environments by crossing natural barriers. In the evolving cities, the structures integrate into the environment and harmonise with the society. Integrated structures and harmonised society connects people to nature and environment, eventually leading to technical progress, innovation and development. Therefore, we chose “Bridges and Structures: Connection, Integration and Harmonisation” as the congress theme for IABSE Nanjing 2022. The Congress will maintain a traditional onsite format with an option to participate online. Topics will include traditional bridges and structures, and will also include new elements such as Artificial Intelligence and dealing with Covid-19. Technical Visits will go to construction sites of amazing future world record-breakers, respectively the longest cable- stayed bridge and the longest suspension bridge, as well as other elegant buildings and bridges.

  • Research on Digital Flow Control Model of Urban Rail Transit Under the Situation of Epidemic Prevention and Control
    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: https://www.emerald.com/insight/2632-0487.htm SRT fl 3,1 Research on digital ow control model of urban rail transit under the situation of epidemic 78 prevention and control Received 30 September 2020 Qi Sun, Fang Sun and Cai Liang Revised 26 October 2020 Accepted 26 October 2020 Beijing Rail Transit Road Network, Beijing, China, and Chao Yu and Yamin Zhang Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing, China Abstract Purpose – Beijing rail transit can actively control the density of rail transit passenger flow, ensure travel facilities and provide a safe and comfortable riding atmosphere for rail transit passengers during the epidemic. The purpose of this paper is to efficiently monitor the flow of rail passengers, the first method is to regulate the flow of passengers by means of a coordinated connection between the stations of the railway line; the second method is to objectively distribute the inbound traffic quotas between stations to achieve the aim of accurate and reasonable control according to the actual number of people entering the station. Design/methodology/approach – This paper analyzes the rules of rail transit passenger flow and updates the passenger flow prediction model in time according to the characteristics of passenger flow during the epidemic to solve the above-mentioned problems. Big data system analysis restores and refines the time and space distribution of the finely expected passenger flow and the train service plan of each route. Get information on the passenger travel chain from arriving, boarding, transferring, getting off and leaving, as well as the full load rate of each train.

The problem is mainly caused by the mixed-flow of cyclists and motorist on the road. Separation of cyclists and motorist is the key to solve the problem. Based on the research of the successful examples in Europe and a PEBOSCA inventory analysis of the cycling traffic in Nanjing, a set of suggestion is proposed on how to plan the bicycle network. A bicycle network separated from motor traffic and the planning on a cycling district division is introduced. The proposal also involves the suggestion on combination between cycling and public transport, and the experience route of historical culture and the natural beauty of the landscape. Keywords: Bicycle network planning, specific bicycle lane, urban transportation, PEBOSCA, Nanjing, China.
