Recognition of High Difference Features in Urban Planning Images Based on Morphological Filtering by Peipei Liu

“…By analysing the combination of partial differential equation theory and enhancement, aiming at the shortcomings of low recognition accuracy, high error rate, and long time consuming in the current method of urban planning image feature recognition, a feature enhancement and simulation of urban planning image based on partial differential equation method is proposed; the preprocessing of urban planning image is realized by collecting the urban planning image. …”

Simulation and Evaluation of Sponge City Reconstruction Effect in Urban Drainage Residential Area by YU Haijun, FAN Yuyan, CAO Daling, CHEN Wei

“…Drainage effect evaluation is a necessary links in the construction of Sponge City,and urban rainfall mathematical models are important supporting tools for the evaluation work.Taking a residential area in Beijing City as an example,a refined drainage model of the study area was constructed based on a coupled 1D and 2D hydrodynamic model for urban rainstorms,and the drainage situation before and after the sponge transformation of the drainage system were simulated and analyzed.The results showed that the constructed model can well reflect the real drainage situation of the community,and the proposed drainage system upgrade plan can effectively improve the drainage capacity in the area,and the overflow and submergence were significantly reduced.The research can provide some technical reference for the simulation of the hydraulic condition of drainage community and the construction and management of Sponge City.…”

Research on the Traffic Flow Control of Urban Occasional Congestion Based on Catastrophe Theory by Yang Xu, Duo Jia Zhang, Xin Zhang, Kin Keung Lai, Bing Su

“…Aimed at the problem of occasional congestion control, the cusp catastrophe theory is used to establish the catastrophe model of the urban road system under occasional congestion, finding breakpoints and analyzing stability after urban road system catastrophes by constructing the energetic function; based on the catastrophe characteristics of the urban road system, the feasibility method of congestion control is discussed. …”

Integrated Optimization on Energy Saving and Quality of Service of Urban Rail Transit System by Wenxin Li, Qiyuan Peng, Chao Wen, Shengdong Li, Xu Yan, Xinyue Xu

“…The latter entails that the train timetable is upheld, which guarantees that the demand for passenger transport services is met and the quality of services in the urban rail transit system is maintained. This study proposes a multi-objective optimization model for urban railways with timetable optimization to minimize the total energy consumption of trains while maximizing the quality of service. …”
