Prediction-based parking allocation framework in urban environments

ABSTRACT

Finding a parking space is usually challenging in urban areas. The literature shows that 30% of traffic congestion is caused by searching for parking spaces, which results in unnecessary energy consumption and environmental pollution. With the development of sensor technologies, smart parking guidance systems provide users with a variety of real-time parking space information. However, users cannot know whether the target parking space remains available upon arrival. Moreover, parking resources may be under competition when multiple users target the same open parking space. In this research, we develop a new framework named prediction-based parking allocation (PPA) that provides smart parking services to users. In PPA, we first construct a prediction model of parking occupancy and predict the subsequent parking availabilities. Then, we design a matching-based allocation strategy to assign users to selected parking spaces. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that combines occupancy prediction and space allocation simultaneously to address smart parking issues. Finally, we collect a real dataset from the SFPark on-street parking system for performance evaluation. According to experimental results, PPA can effectively increase the parking success rate and reduce costs, fuel consumption, and carbon emissions.

Forms and Balance of Nitrogen and Phosphorus in Cage Culture Waters in Guangdong Province, China

In order to approach the characteristics of nitrogen and phosphorus pollution caused by cage culture and the balance of nitrogen and phosphorus during the process of cage culture, a monitoring was conducted in Daya Bay of Guangdong Province, China from April 2002 to Jane 2003. The results show that the concentrations of total nitrogen (TN) in the waters at the sites with five and ten years of cage culture history are 1.8 and 2.3 times of that at control site respectively. Ammonium (NH3-N) is the main form of nitrogen in spring while nitrate ( NO3 -) in winter. The concentrations of TN, total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) are highest in autumn. The concentration of phosphorus increases with the increasing of the culturing time, among which phosphate ( PO 34-) increases most obviously. The concentrations of total phosphorus (TP) and total dissolved phosphorus (TDP) are highest in autumn. The nitrogen and phosphorus are accumulated significantly in the sediment of cage culture area. The model of N balance in the cage culture area: bait (70.62%) fry (0.28%) input by tide (14.8%) release from sediment (14.3%) = harvest of adult fish (12.07%) deposition into sediment (28.75%) output by tide (56.18%) others (3.00%). The model of P balance: bait (83.11%) fry (0.17%) input by tide (12.23%) release from sediment (4.49%) = harvest of adult fish (8.43%) deposition into sediment (48.59%) output by tide (41.94%) others (1.04%). In one fish growth year, the contents of nitrogen and phosphorus in harvest of adult fish are only 17.0% and 10.1% of the contents of nitrogen and phosphorus in fish bait and fry, wherein 83% of nitrogen and more than 89% of phosphorus in fish bait became marine pollutants.     

Spatial modeling of environmental vulnerability of marine finfish aquaculture using GIS-based neuro-fuzzy techniques

Combining GIS with neuro-fuzzy modeling has the advantage that expert scientific knowledge in coastal aquaculture activities can be incorporated into a geospatial model to classify areas particularly vulnerable to pollutants. Data on the physical environment and its suitability for aquaculture in an Irish fjard, which is host to a number of different aquaculture activities, were derived from a three-dimensional hydrodynamic and GIS models. Subsequent incorporation into environmental vulnerability models, based on neuro-fuzzy techniques, highlighted localities particularly vulnerable to aquaculture development.The models produced an overall classification accuracy of 85.71%, with a Kappa coefficient of agreement of 81%, and were sensitive to different input parameters. A statistical comparison between vulnerability scores and nitrogen concentrations in sediment associated with salmon cages showed good correlation.Neuro-fuzzy techniques within GIS modeling classify vulnerability of coastal regions appropriately and have a role in policy decisions for aquaculture site selection.     

象山港大黄鱼(Pseudosciaena crocea)网箱养殖区及邻近海域沉积物中异养细菌生态分布

调查了投饵期(8月)和越冬期(11月)象山港大黄鱼(Pseudosciaena crocea)网箱养殖区及周围海域沉积物中有机物含量、异养细菌数量和群落结构。结果表明:养殖区沉积物(0—5cm层)中总磷、总有机氮含量在投饵期和越冬期均显著高于邻近对照海域(P0.05)。沉积物中异养细菌、弧菌数量分别在3.2×104—5.2×105 CFU/g和2.2×103—1.7×105 CFU/g之间,养殖区沉积物细菌数量大于周围邻近海域。16S r DNA法分析结果表明,研究区域投饵期的优势属均为弧菌属,越冬期为芽孢杆菌属。各采样区异养细菌的多样性表现为养殖区周围邻近区域、投饵期越冬期。异养细菌数与沉积物中TON、TP含量呈显著正相关,表明象山港大黄鱼养殖区沉积物中可培养异养细菌数可能受有机氮和磷酸盐含量的限制。研究表明,大黄鱼网箱养殖对象山港沉积物中的有机积累、异养细菌群落结构组成及多样性影响显著。     

Coastal and marine ecological changes and fish cage culture development in Phu Quoc,Vietnam (2001 to 2011)

This study employed image enhancement for LANDSAT TM and ALOS imagery to monitor the changing status of coastal resources from 2001 to 2011, object-based classification of high-resolution THEOS imagery to extract fish cage culture sites and interpolation methods to determine marine environmental quality in 2011 in the northern part of Phu Quoc Island. There were five classes in the study site: natural forest, Melaleuca forest, agriculture, peat and built-up areas. Agricultural land and Melaleuca forest changing into built-up areas constituted approximately 51.13% of the total area changing. The benthic seagrass habitat increased dramatically from 2001 to the end of 2010. Besides, marine culture has been concerned to cage culture which is one of the sources directly affecting aquatic life and water quality in coastal environment. Cage culture locations were detected using high-resolution imagery as THEOS data for image fusion and Object-based Image Analysis methods. Water quality criteria including nitrogen, phosphorus and chlorophyll-a concentrations were determined by interpolation method, and the spatial distribution of these parameters showed a concentration in the study area in the range from 0.17 to 0.49?mg/L, 0.012 to 0.073?mg/L and 0.26 to 1.046?μg/L, respectively.     

福建三沙湾网箱养殖对多毛纲动物群落结构的影响

利用东海近海典型网箱养殖海湾三沙湾9个航次数据,基于群落结构时空差异,阐释网箱养殖活动对多毛纲(Polychaeta)动物群落的影响。就群落组成而言,网箱养殖和非网箱养殖水域多毛纲物种组成存在差异,丝鳃虫科(Cirratulidae)和多鳞虫科(Polynoidae)分别是两种水域最占优势的类群;网箱养殖水域多毛纲优势物种的丰度及丰度比值略高于非网箱养殖区(104.06ind./m248.29ind./m2,57.59%46.96%)。双因素方差分析(采样时间和养殖方式)结果表明,两种因素对物种数(S)、丰度(N)、生物量(B)、Shannon-Wiener多样性指数(H′)、Pielou均匀度指数(J′)、Margalef丰富度指数(d)等典型群落参数的交互作用不显著(P0.05);考虑两种因素独立效应时,群落参数均无显著空间差异(P0.05),但存在极显著时间差异(P0.01)。双因素群落结构相似性分析(two-way ANOSIM analysis)表明群落结构无显著空间差异(P0.05),但存在极显著时间差异(P0.01)。典型对应分析(canonical correspondence analysis,CCA)显示pH、水深和溶解氧是影响三沙湾多毛纲动物分布格局的主要环境因子。上述结论显示,三沙湾网箱养殖活动对多毛纲动物群落结构已产生一定影响,主要表现在群落组成方面,群落结构和部分典型底栖环境因子具较强相关性。
