Wind power is considered as one of the most promising renewable energy sources in China. Presented in this study is a life cycle analysis of energy performance and greenhouse gas emission for a typical wind farm in Guangxi, with different stages of manufacturing, transportation, and installation of mechanical components, operation and maintenance, and disassemble and disposal taken into account. Results show that the nonrenewable energy cost and greenhouse gas emission to generate 1 MJ of electricity for the grid are 0.046 MJ and 0.002 kg CO2 equivalent, respectively. In consideration of the dominant power generation technology of coal combustion in China, the nonrenewable energy saving brought about by the concerned wind farm is estimated at 1.22E+7GJ during its twenty year operating period, while the reduced greenhouse gas emissions are as much as 1.03E+06 ton CO2 equivalent. It is believed that this successful example can lend solid support to a future wide use of wind power in China.

We study the effect of accumulative payoff on the evolution of cooperation in the evolutionary prisoner's dilemma on a square lattice. We introduce a decaying factor for the accumulative payoff, which characterizes the extent that the historical payoff is accumulated. It is shown that for fixed values of the temptation to defect, the density of cooperators increases with the value of the decaying factor. This indicates that the more the historical payoff is involved, the more favourable cooperators become. In the critical region where the cooperator density converges to zero, cooperators vanish according to a power-law-like behaviour. The associated exponents agree approximately with the two-dimensional directed percolation and depend weakly on the value of the decaying factor.

Linear wireless sensor networks are characterized by a linear topology and multihop forwarding patterns. Sensors closer to the base station are usually required to forward a large amount of traffic for sensors farther from the base station, leading to the environment cannot be effectively monitored. The energy consumption balance is achieved in the paper by adjusting the distance between nodes. The distance of nodes near the base station become short because they have to forward the more traffic. The node deployment is converted to optimization problems of distance distribution between nodes. The network lifetime under different number of forwarding region is discussed. Simulation results show that this deployment strategy obtains the energy consumption balance.

This paper presents a generic video vehicle detection approach through multiple background-based features and statistical learning. The main idea is to configure several virtual loops (as detection zones) on the image, assuming moving vehicles may cause pixel intensities and local texture to change, and then by identifying such pixel changes to detect vehicles. In this research, multiple pattern classifiers including LDA + Adaboost, SVM, and Random Forests are used to detect vehicles that are passing through virtual loops. We extract fourteen pattern features (related to foreground area, texture change, and luminance and contrast in the local virtual loop zone and the global image) to train pattern classifiers and then detect vehicles. As experimental results illustrate, the proposed approach is quite robust to detect vehicles under complex dynamic environments, and thus is able to improve the accuracy of traffic data collection in all weather for long term.

With the advantage of simulating the details of a transportation system, the “microsimulation” of a traffic system has long been a hot topic in the Intelligent Transportation systems (ITS) research. The Cellular Automata (CA) and the Multi-Agent System (MAS) modeling are two typical methods for the traffic microsimulation. However, the computing burden for the microsimulation and the optimization based on it is usually very heavy. In recent years the Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have been applied successfully in many areas for parallel computing. Compared with the traditional CPU cluster, GPU has an obvious advantage of low cost of hardware and electricity consumption. In this paper we build an MAS model for a road network of four signalized intersections and we use a Genetic Algorithm (GA) to optimize the traffic signal timing with the objective of maximizing the number of the vehicles leaving the network in a given period of time. Both the simulation and the optimization are accelerated by GPU and a speedup by a factor of 195 is obtained. In the future we will extend the work to large scale road networks.

Most researches of traffic incident auto-detection are based on the data from fixed detectors, which are limited by costs and position. In order to resolve this problem, existing algorithms of traffic incident automatic detection are analyzed and compared, and an algorithm of traffic incident auto-detection are provided based on mobile-detection technology. The traffic data are grouped in 5-min intervals, analyzed by a three-layer BP neural network, and utilized for traffic incident detection. 16 traffic incidents of different locations and different levels are modeled in the simulation experiment based on VISSIM, and detection rate, false alarm rate and average detection time are adopted as indicators to evaluate the algorithm. Finally, the algorithm is proved to be effective and applicable in practice.

This paper studies a supply chain quality coordination and risk-sharing problem. We find when the supply chain is coordinated under internal and external quality fault existing, it can be obtained the optimal profit, order quantity and risk sharing of the supply chain parties for each. And when the supply chain is coordinated and the item has not been sold, the supplier should allow the seller return his order item with wholesale price. The total optimal expected profit is smaller when internal and external quality fault is appeared but the risking share is larger. The risk sharing is positively correlated with the fault rate but is noncorrelated with the return policy. The risk sharing of the supply chain is also positively correlated with the wholesale price, retail price and the seller is not zero risk sharing1.

Wireless sensor networks consist of a large number of sensor nodes that have low power and limited transmission range and can be used in various scenario. The nodes can be deployed in the long and narrow region, such as road, bridge, tunnel and pipeline, to get some interesting information. The linear topology of these network application is different other application and have special feature, such as multi-hop, long delay, long distance and low reliability. This paper introduces the concept of linear wireless sensor networks and discusses the classification of topology and key issue of this network.

It is commonly assumed that the application of solar power system can save energy and relief global climate change. Presented in this study is the account of energy performance and greenhouse gas emissions of a planned solar tower power plant in China based on the life cycle analysis method. The conservative estimation of energy cost for the concerned plant is 1.21 times of the electricity output, which is a relatively decent performance amongst power generation technologies. In order to analyze the greenhouse gas performance, a comparison is carried out between the solar tower power plant and conventional coal-fired power plant in China. Results show the application of this solar system obtains a net greenhouse gas emission reduction of 0.31E+06 ton CO2 equivalent, during its operating period of twenty years. It is believed that this successful example can lend solid support to a future wide use of solar power in China.
