Influence of bus stop with left-turn lines between two adjacent signalized intersections

Based on the symmetric two-lane Nagel–Schreckenberg(STNS) model, a three-lane cellular automaton model between two intersections containing a bus stop with left-turning buses is established in which model the occurrences of vehicle accidents are taken into account. The characteristics of traffic flows with different ratios of left-turn lines are discussed via the simulation experiments. The results indicate that the left-turn lines have more negative effects on capacity,accident rate as well as delay if the stop is located close to the intersections, where the negative effect in a near-side stop is more severe than that in a far-side one. The range of appropriate position for a bus stop without the bottleneck effect becomes more and more narrow with the increase of the ratio of left-turn bus lines. When the inflow is small, a short signal cycle and a reasonable offset are beneficial. When the inflow reaches or exceeds the capacity, a longer signal cycle is helpful. But if the stop position is inappropriate, the increase of cycle fails in reducing the negative effect of left-turning buses and the effectiveness of offset is weakened.     

介电常数近零模式与表面等离激元模式耦合实现宽带光吸收

介电常数为零或近零模式在微纳结构中提供了一个新的方式调控光与物质的相互作用.本文首先利用金属圆盘阵列结构激发了表面等离激元共振,在共振频率处实现了光的局域效果;然后通过在金属-绝缘体-金属超表面微纳结构中加入掺杂半导体材料,利用上层金属圆盘阵列激发的表面等离激元共振诱导介电常数近零模式的产生,从而使得介电常数近零模式与表面等离激元模式发生耦合,在中红外波段实现了一个470 nm的宽带吸收效果;数值模拟结果显示,在宽带吸收处存在光场的强局域效果.与窄带吸收相比,宽带吸收有更广泛的应用,比如吸收器、传感器、滤波器、微测辐射热计、光电探测器、相干热发射器、太阳能电池、指纹识别和能量收集装置等.
