    International Forum on Management, Education and Information Technology Application (IFMEITA 2016) Traffic Simulation of Hongqi Elevated Road in Yantai Feng Zhua, Chengxuan Caob State Key Laboratory of Rail Traffic Control and Safety Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing 100044, China. a15125815@ bjtu.edu.cn, [email protected] Keywords: Traffic simulation, Hongqi Elevated Road, VISSIM. Abstract. With the increasing number of vehicles in Yantai, the downtown traffic volume is increasing. Hongqi Road, the main road in Yantai exists the traffic congestion problems. Yantai Planning Bureau proposed to construct for viaduct this road. This design is mainly based on the planning and design of the elevated road in Yantai Hongqi Road (Hongqi Road intersection-Shanhai Road intersection). We used the VISSIM micro simulation system to carry out the simulation of the elevated road in Hongqi Road, and the stops and queue length are the evaluation indices for quantitative evaluation. Then through the evaluation indices and specific data obtained by simulation, we analyze the selection of the scheme and draw the final plan of the construction of the elevated road, which was provide a good reference for the planning and construction of Hongqi elevated road. Introduction The emergence of the viaduct is a very important detail in the course of the evolution of the city. It reflects the city's increasingly crowded trends and the city's displacement in space form (from a horizontal plane to a vertical section) [1]. After Hongqi elevated road built, this east-west freeway will remain basically smooth all the way, this will further widen the urban framework, improve the speed of vehicle driving and the traffic capacity of Hongqi road, guarantee the none-congestion of the backbone, increase the efficiency of the green time and reduce the traffic delay.

  • Analysis of Spatial-Temporal Distribution of Notifiable Respiratory
    Li et al. BMC Public Health (2021) 21:1597 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-021-11627-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Analysis of spatial-temporal distribution of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases in Shandong Province, China during 2005– 2014 Xiaomei Li1†, Dongzhen Chen1,2†, Yan Zhang3†, Xiaojia Xue4, Shengyang Zhang5, Meng Chen6, Xuena Liu1* and Guoyong Ding1* Abstract Background: Little comprehensive information on overall epidemic trend of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases is available in Shandong Province, China. This study aimed to determine the spatiotemporal distribution and epidemic characteristics of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases. Methods: Time series was firstly performed to describe the temporal distribution feature of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases during 2005–2014 in Shandong Province. GIS Natural Breaks (Jenks) was applied to divide the average annual incidence of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases into five grades. Spatial empirical Bayesian smoothed risk maps and excess risk maps were further used to investigate spatial patterns of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases. Global and local Moran’s I statistics were used to measure the spatial autocorrelation. Spatial- temporal scanning was used to detect spatiotemporal clusters and identify high-risk locations. Results: A total of 537,506 cases of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases were reported in Shandong Province during 2005–2014. The morbidity of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases had obvious seasonality with high morbidity in winter and spring. Local Moran’s I analysis showed that there were 5, 23, 24, 4, 20, 8, 14, 10 and 7 high-risk counties determined for influenza A (H1N1), measles, tuberculosis, meningococcal meningitis, pertussis, scarlet fever, influenza, mumps and rubella, respectively.
