    To improve the development of bridge design theory, including comprehensive consideration of multiple hazards, progress in the research of bridge design methods for multiple hazards is reviewed. First, the origins and research developments of bridge design methods are summarized, emphasizing the consideration of multihazard actions. Then, the concepts of multiple hazards and combination modes of hazards are explicitly specified. Moreover, the principles of a performance-based design method and its applications in bridge disaster mitigation design are specified. Next, structural performance degradation and life-cycle cost-based bridge disaster mitigation design methods are discussed. Finally, problems and shortcomings of the status of research are specified. The results indicate that, so far, there are two paths by which bridge multihazard design methods can be developed. One is to balance design demands of different hazards to seek optimal structural performance, and the other is to satisfy the design demands of hazard combination to seek acceptable structural performance. However, an integrated theory and a framework of bridge multihazard design has not yet been established systematically, and several technical challenges, such as the design objective, performance standard system, decision criteria, design optimization method, and hazard-action combination, still need to be explored in depth. Performance-based and life-cycle-based design philosophies have broad prospects for application in the field of bridge design methods for multiple hazards.

    Owing to the advancement in autonomous driving technology, testing tools and testing methods for conventional automobiles cannot meet the validation requirements of autonomous vehicles. Scenario-based virtual validation methods have technical superiority with respect to testing efficiency and time consumption. Such methods can aid in conducting autopilot test verification in the future and have thus drawn significant research interest. In this study, through the systematic analysis of a large number of related literature, the developmental history of scenario-based virtual testing associated with autonomous vehicles is reviewed. The differences among scenario definitions were compared and the connotation of a test scenario was defined. Various types of elements, data sources, and processing methods associated with scenarios were specified, based on which, various virtual testing methods for autonomous vehicles were identified and listed. Typical virtual testing methods, test platforms, and virtual test points were subsequently analyzed, and key technologies corresponding to software-in-the-loop testing, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and vehicle-in-the-loop testing were outlined. To address the issue of inadequate testing efficiency associated with the virtual testing process, scenario-based automated driving acceleration test technology was studied. Typical random scenario test generation methods and crucial scenario reinforcement generation methods were thereby determined and listed. Furthermore, issues and future development trends associated with scenario-based virtual validation of autonomous vehicles were also analyzed. The obtained results indicate that scenario-based virtual testing is essential for promoting the development of autopilot technology. Additionally, further research needs to be conducted on aspects, such as the development of test scenario database based on deconstruction and automatic reconfiguration, high-confidence models for human-vehicle-environment integration system, primary technologies for supporting virtual testing of automated vehicle driving through standard tool chains, mixed traffic simulation with testing under different autonomous vehicle penetration rates, iterative optimization and adaptive acceleration testing of automated driving, and establishment of standard systems for virtual testing of autonomous vehicles.

    Autonomous vehicles often need to predict the trajectories of surrounding vehicles for planning and decision making. In this paper, a model for intention recognition and trajectory prediction based on long short-term memory (LSTM) network is proposed. The proposed model comprises an intention recognition module and a trajectory output module. The intention recognition module was employed for identifying the driving intention. The Softmax function was incorporated in the intention recognition module for calculating the probabilities of left lane change, lane-keeping, and right lane change. An encoder-decoder structure and a mixture density network (MDN) layer were included in the trajectory output module. The encoder converted the past trajectory information into the context vector. Subsequently, the decoder combined the context vector and the intention recognition information for predicting future trajectories. The MDN layer was employed for representing the future position of a vehicle with its probability distribution rather than with a particular trajectory, which improved the reliability of prediction results and the robustness of the proposed model. Additionally, the compositions of a predicted vehicle and its surroundings were both taken into account, which aided the proposed model in analyzing the interactions among vehicles. Hence, the proposed model can dynamically predict vehicle trajectories according to variations in traffic conditions. The NGSIM data set based on the information of actual road conditions was employed for training, validating, and testing the proposed model. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method based on LSTM network has several advantages over conventional model-based methods with respect to trajectory prediction, especially in a long prediction horizon. Interactive information can ensure that the intention recognition module has high anticipative ability and accuracy. Furthermore, trajectory prediction based on intention recognition can significantly reduce the root-mean-square errors in predicted trajectories with respect to the ground truth, thereby leading to significant improvement in trajectory prediction accuracy.

    The purpose of this study was to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the compressive behavior of FRP-confined concrete cylinders and the applicability of existing confinement models. A total of 1 049 groups of experimental results of conventional fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) or large rupture strain (LRS) FRP-wrapped normal concrete, high-strength concrete, ultrahigh-performance concrete, recycled aggregate concrete, seawater sea-sand concrete, and engineered cementitious composite with unconfined concrete strength in the range of 6.2-188.2 MPa were assembled. Based on data analysis, a prediction equation for the FRP hoop rupture strain reduction coefficient with higher accuracy was formulated using the least-squares method. The effects of the FRP type and the concrete strength and type on the peak strength and ultimate strain were studied. The results show that at a given actual confinement ratio, the FRP type has a negligible effect on the peak strength but has a significant effect on the ultimate strain. LRS FRP can significantly improve the ductility of confined cylinders, which is more suitable for the seismic reinforcement of bridge piers. The increase in concrete strength reduces the confinement effectiveness of the FRP, resulting in a relatively small enhancement ratio of the peak strength and ultimate strain. Compared with other types of concrete with the same compresive strength, the confined high ductile engineered cementitious composite has a lower strength enhancement. Finally, the prediction effect on the peak strength and ultimate strain of the existing confinement models was evaluated using the average absolute error (AAE), mean (M), and standard deviation (SD). A unified confinement model considering the FRP type and the concrete strength and type is proposed. The AAE values of peak strength and ultimate strain predictions obtained by the proposed model are 0.13 and 0.31, respectively. This model can serve as a simplified formula to estimate the peak strength and ultimate strain of various types of concrete confined with FRP.

    To promote the development of intelligent pavement, the development status of intelligent pavement technologies and future development trends are reviewed. The paper firstly addresses the definition of intelligent pavement. Accordingly, the architecture of intelligent pavement is explicitly specified, which is divided into the following layers:information perception and acquisition, information integration and processing, integrated service, and energy supply. Then, the major technologies of intelligent pavement are highlighted, including information acquisition technology, information management and analysis technology, energy collection and utilization technology, self-adaptive technology, and cooperative vehicle and infrastructure technology based on intelligent pavement. Moreover, the design and construction methods of intelligent pavement are discussed. Finally, the problems and shortcomings of the status of current research are specified, as well as prospects for the future development of intelligent pavement. Results show that intelligent pavement is composed of specific structural materials, perceptive networks, information centers, communication networks, and energy systems that possesses various intelligent capabilities to provide services for humans, vehicles, and the environment. The development of intelligent pavement will help develop the road network potential and help it to adapt to future vehicles. In terms of the process of pavement information acquisition, the technical difficulties involved with the durability and practicability of sensors still need to be solved. Various energy collection and self-adaptive technologies of intelligent pavement should focus on low cost and high performance issues. The Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing, and various artificial intelligence methods have broad application prospects in the monitoring and management of intelligent pavement. As a new type of pavement, the design and construction of intelligent pavement can be combined with building information modeling, modular road construction, 3D printing technology, and intelligent compaction technology to integrate a new set of construction technologies.

    The structural health monitoring (SHM) technique has been adopted for use with many large span bridges. However, massive SHM data have not been well interpreted to support structural maintenance and management. In this study, to introduce big data techniques into bridge SHM for data processing and analysis, the concepts and components of big data were first summarized, and data properties and research directions of SHM were then analyzed. Big data techniques applied to bridge SHM were then reviewed according to computing techniques and data analysis methods, based on which the requirements and application scenarios for SHM were presented in a big data analysis pipeline consisting of data preprocessing, data fusion, feature engineering, pattern recognition, and data visualization. Finally, the prospects and motivations of big data techniques in bridge SHM were generalized. The results demonstrate that structural condition assessment should be the primary application scenario for employing big data techniques in SHM. Computing techniques are not the priorities of big data research in SHM even though they do have some applications. Data fusion that aims to fuse multisource and heterogeneous data from SHM system and bridge management system urgently requires support from big data analysis methods. Ensemble learning and deep learning provide new methods to extract features that are sensitive to structural conditions and enable new prospects for SHM research. Supervised and unsupervised learning methods combined with massive monitoring data enable a more comprehensive understanding of pattern recognition problems in SHM than with a small amount of data. Novelty detection, correlation analysis, and transfer learning can be verified in damage detection problems and further developed to support their applications in real bridges. This study is expected to provide a reference for big data research in bridge SHM.

    In order to deepen the understanding of the fatigue problem of orthotropic steel bridge deck (OSD), the fatigue performance and its evaluation methods of OSDs, new-type OSD structure and fatigue reinforcement of OSDs were analyzed and summarized. The main problems restricting fatigue research of OSDs were discussed. The current state and development tendency of the fatigue problem of OSDs were explored as well. The results show that compared with the fatigue problem of skeletal structures such as main girder and main truss, the fatigue problem of OSDs is a spatial structure fatigue problem codetermined by fatigue performance of multiple complex structural details, whose fatigue failure mode, fatigue performance, anti-fatigue optimization design and fatigue cracking reinforcement are more complex than skeletal structures. The fatigue damage mechanism, evaluation method of fatigue performance for building and existing OSDs as well as feasible method for fatigue reinforcement are important foundation for whole life-cycle design theory of steel bridge and research topic to be solved urgently in the sustainable development of bridge engineering. Relying on innovative design concept and high performance materials, the progresses of new structural system and details are the significant development orientations of OSDs. The advanced fabrication technology represented by intelligent manufacturing and detection technology of fatigue crack represented by infrared thermography (IRT) and ultrasonic phased array provide an important support for the further improvement of fatigue performance of OSDs and development of fatigue crack detection technology.

    The research progress of active deicing and pavement snow melting technologies at home and abroad was summarized to understand the scope of improvement. First, the deicing and snow melting mechanisms of pavement were reviewed, and based on the mechanism, the pavements were categorized as self-stress flexible pavement, low freezing point pavement, and energy conversion pavement. Second, the pavement performance and snow melting characteristics of different pavements were analyzed. The pavement performance depends on the properties of both the asphalt and cement concrete pavements. Important aspects of the asphalt pavement include high-and low-temperature properties, water stability, adhesion properties, and durability. The tensile and compressive properties of cement concrete pavement are important as well. The snow melting characteristics include anti-friction performance of the pavement, bonding between snow layer and pavement surface, deicing performance, snow melting rate, applicable temperature, and long-term stability. The effects of material, structure, environment, and heating parameters on the working performance of active deicing and pavement snow melting were also analyzed in detail. For pavement selection, the advantages of different active deicing technologies were compared based on the snow melting effects, economic cost, energy saving, and environmental protection. Finally, it was proposed that the active deicing and snow melting systems be combined with the snow disaster-assessment system and early snow warning system.

    Longitudinal acceleration decisions in a car-following control mode are directly determined by the state of the preceding vehicle. A driver's uncertainty makes car-following control difficult because of the complexity in state prediction of the target vehicle. To address the problem in which the performance of adaptive cruise control may deteriorate without consideration of the uncertainty of the preceding vehicle, a car-following control strategy based on deep reinforcement learning was proposed. To study the characteristics of human drivers, a driving-data-acquisition platform was established, and substantial amounts of human-driving data were collected. Based on the assumption that longitudinal control decisions are mainly affected by the preceding vehicle, a two-predecessor following structure was established. The vehicles in the driving dataset were taken as target vehicles 1# and 2# of the car-following control. Based on the real-world driving dataset, a stochastic process model was established to describe the characteristics of preceding vehicle 1# based on Gaussian process algorithm. Then car-following control was established as a Markov decision process. A car-following control method based on deep reinforcement learning was obtained through iterative learning with the stochastic process model using proximal policy optimization. Finally, the algorithm was verified based on the driving dataset. The results demonstrate that the mapping between longitudinal acceleration decisions and the states of the host and preceding vehicles can be obtained through iterative learning with consideration of the uncertainty of the target vehicle.

    In order to improve the motion performances of the autonomous vehicle driving system, an integrated control system of longitudinal and lateral motion was designed based on fuzzy logic and sliding model control theory. The control system can control throttle opening, brake pressure, front wheel steer angle and active yaw moment coordinately so as to keep the vehicle following the ideal trajectory at an expected speed and improve the vehicle's stability during driving process. The simulation results show that the integrated control system of longitudinal and lateral motion which can improve the tracking and motion performances under different driving conditions is effective in autonomous vehicle driving process.

    Vehicles will be the principal form of road traffic load in the future, and their operational stability is directly related to the skid resistance performance of asphalt pavements. The anti-sliding performance of asphalt pavements is affected by various uncertain factors. To understand the current status of research on skid resistance performance in asphalt pavement fields at home and abroad, current research advances on several topics were overviewed and summarized. These topics included contact mechanical models for tire-pavements, road adhesion properties, calculation method for kinetic friction coefficients, uncertainty factors, evaluation indices, and attenuation models of anti-sliding performance. The research also focused on the applications of anti-skid performance in the safety of autonomous vehicles. The existing contact mechanical methods of tire-pavement were comparatively analyzed, the uncertain factors in the design, construction and operation stage were discussed, and the existing evaluation indices and attenuation models of skid resistance performance were summarized. Finally, prospective developments in the skid resistance performance of asphalt pavements were discussed. Analysis results show that Persson's theory of hysteresis friction, which is based on fractal theory, is applicable to the calculation of the dynamic friction coefficient of asphalt pavements. The dimensional deformation of rubber as a response to surface roughness and the temperature dependence of sliding friction were also considered. The adhesion coefficient estimation method based on the μ-s curve could estimate the actual adhesion characteristics of asphalt pavement more accurately by considering the variability of the peak adhesion coefficient of the road surface. There are several limitations in the current research associated with skid resistance of asphalt pavements, including the tire-pavement interaction mechanism, evaluation indices, and attenuation models. Further research should be focused on time-varying characteristics, uniformity, and perception parameters for the skid resistance requirements of autonomous vehicles. To summarize, the implementation of the anti-sliding evaluation index based on time effects is invaluable in the development of pavement anti-sliding layer designs and evaluation of asphalt pavement skid resistance. It is also an important way to improve the service performance throughout the lifetime of asphalt pavements in China.

    Based on the method evaluating the low temperature performance of SBS modified asphalt at present, the glass transition temperature Tg was recommended to appraise the low temperature performance of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified asphalt. Then, the relevant test equipments-dynamic shear rheometer and test methods were introduced. Furthermore, Tg values of seven SBS modified asphalts were tested by dynamic shear rheometer and the results were validated by the low temperature performance of modified asphalt mixture. The result indicates that Tg has a clear physical meaning, handy test method and good relation to the results of asphalt mixture. So Tg is proper to evaluate the low temperature performance of SBS modified asphalt.

    With the continuous and rapid development of highway tunnels in terms of scale, quantity, and construction speed, China has made considerable technological breakthroughs in tunnel construction over the past decade, and has shifted from a large nation of tunnels to power tunnels. This paper presents a macroscopic study and analysis of the construction of highway tunnels in China over the past decade, and comparatively describes the major development characteristics, trends, and relevant recommendations regarding highway tunnels in mountainous regions, underwater areas, and cities. Changes in the concept of highway tunnel construction are presented in terms of tunnel construction requirement orientation, geological advance forecast, energy conservation, environmental protection, and emergency rescue. Further, a comparative summary is presented on the application and future development trends of common highway tunnel construction methods, including the drilling and blasting, shield, immersed tube, and TBM methods. On this basis, the paper presents studies and views to address some problems that will be encountered in future during the construction of highway tunnels in China. Specifically, the tunnel design concept focusing on the support parameter design should be changed, the tunnel structure design method with the medium field as the main body should be established, and the tunnel field deconstruction and reconstruction theory and technology system should be further developed. To reduce the number of long and deep inclined shafts and improve the construction speed, a combination of the drilling and blasting method + expansion-tunneling method with a small TBM heading should be employed for long highway tunnels with the twin-tube layout mode. Additionally, as more highway tunnels enter the post-operation period, a technical approach for intelligent monitoring and rapid repair of tunnels is proposed to minimize the impacts of tunnel repair. Highway tunnel construction in China should integrate advanced technologies such as big data, intelligent equipment, and 5 G technology; additionally, relevant supporting standards should be developed as soon as possible.

    In order to improve the technology of highway bridge inspection and evaluation in China, the current situations and trends of structure inspection and condition assessment of bridges were summarized. Damage of the appearance of the bridge, internal defects, principles of inspection of geometry and mechanical characteristics, content and methods of inspection were analyzed in detail. Meanwhile, current situations of the comprehensive inspection technology of prestressed force for PC bridges were commented. Meanwhile, the methods for safety evaluation of in-service RC bridges and PC bridges were summarized, with a summary of the latest research results of the evaluation of fatigue life capability for steel bridge. The comprehensive analyses show that, the intelligent nondestructive testing is the development trend of bridge inspection technology. The intelligent inspection technologies, such as image recognition and sonic CT technology, are widely applied to the inspection of damage of the bridge appearance and internal defects. Comprehensive prestressed inspection technology characterized by prestressed positioning, corrosion, grouting compactness and the tension of prestressed tendon provides a significant method to evaluate the bearing capacity of in-service prestressed concrete. As for the evaluation technology of concrete bridge, the concrete bridge damage evaluation method featured by crack properties, and prestressed condition extends the possibility of quantitative evaluations for the safety of in-service damaged concrete bridge. Finally, in the evaluation of the fatigue life capability of the steel bridge, the nominal stress method based on S-N curve of structural fatigue detail is the major method for evaluation. Whereas, the fracture mechanics method featured on the modern crack detection technology is promising in the evaluation of the fatigue life capability of the steel bridge.

    In the process of driving a vehicle, drivers always face high or low risks caused either by their own or due to the external conditions, i.e. the driving risks. Identification, analysis, and evaluation of driving risks hence serve as an effective countermeasure for risk management. The key problems in gaining a complete understanding of dangerous driving behaviors and the research progress of driving risks observed in numerous types of drivers are summarized. From the perspective of individual characteristics and driving behaviors of the drivers, this paper explores the status of current research in this field using the mapping knowledge domain (MKD) to explain the development process and structural relationship of different driving risks studies. Through the Web of Science Core Collection database, this paper obtained 3 406 articles in English literature that were related to driving risks, which were published between 1986 and 2020 (up to 29th February, 2020). It was observed that this collection covered the studies from a total of 8 684 authors and obtained 6 018 related key words, and were systematically analyzed based on the method of MKD. The analysis shows that the international research in the field of driving risk mainly focuses on young drivers, old drivers, novice drivers and professional drivers; moreover, it was centered on the topics of alcohol driving, drug driving, distracted driving, and fatigue driving. When compared with the international research, several studies in the field of distracted driving and fatigue driving are available in China. However, the research and experimental methods for drunk driving and drug driving are relatively scant. Furthermore, for the selection of research objects, it is necessary to increase the in-depth research on the elderly drivers and novice drivers, including the evaluation of fitness-to-drive along with the education training of the elderly drivers, as well as the exploration of feasibility among novice drivers' graduated driver license system.Concerning research methods, the common international methods include questionnaire surveys, driving simulator experiments, real vehicle experiments, and naturalistic driving studies. In comparison, the field of naturalistic driving studies has not been fully developed and utilized in China. In summary, a combination of various methods needs to be considered to promote a comprehensive understanding of driving behaviors and driving risks from different perspectives.

    In order to further improve the precision and efficiency of pavement disasters using two-dimensional images, convolutional neural network (CNN) was introduced to recognize and measure pavement disasters. First, pavement images were divided into equal-sized maps, which were used as training samples of disaster recognition CNN. Then disaster recognition CNN1 was established by the structural design, before-feedback algorithm and sample tests. Subsequently, all equal-sized maps were input into well-trained disaster recognition CNN1, and the results were used as training samples of crack feature extraction model CNN2 and pit slot feature extraction model CNN3. Meanwhile, the crack feature extraction model CNN2 and the pit slot feature extraction model CNN3 were established with the same procedures. Afterwards, the pavement crack and images of pit slot were extracted by well-trained CNN2 and CNN3. Last but not least, the influences of image resolution ratio on the CNN recognition, precision of feature extraction, and efficiency were analyzed. The results show that various pavement disasters can be accurately recognized by CNN1, and the average errors of crack length and crack width of CNN2 are 4.27% and 9.37% respectively. The accuracy rate of crack disease severity level is 98.99%. There is no error of the number of pit slot CNN3, and the average error of each pit slot area is 13.43%. The accuracy rate of pit slot disease severity level is 95.32%. Thus CNN systems show high accuracy. The disaster recognition CNN1 and feature extraction CNN2 for testing original images in CPU conditions take up to 704 ms·sheet-1 and 5 376 ms·sheet-1 on average, whilst the disaster recognition CNN1 and feature extraction CNN2 for testing images after the acceleration by graphics processor in GPU conditions take up to 192 ms·sheet-1 and 1 024 ms·sheet-1 on average. Thus CNN systems present high efficiency in GPU condition. Compared with other methods, CNN presents high accuracy and efficiency in recognition and measurement of cracks and pit slot when image solutions are higher than 70 dpi.
