  • Patent number: 10801838
    Abstract: An instrument for dynamically observing the evolution behavior of the slope topography. The dual hosts emit parallel, equal-height and overlapped laser planes from different directions, and project the laser planes onto a slope landform. The image acquisition device shoots the slope landform with the projected laser lines at an angle perpendicular to the laser-planes. Then a video screenshot can be formed and imported into a computer to form a three-dimensional map. Finally, the volume, slope gradient and other parameters of the slope body can be obtained. As the knobs on the mechanically micro-adjustable host of the topography meter are turned, the laser-planes can become precisely equidistant and parallel. A novel topography meter is disclosed, which can conveniently calibrate the spacing and angle of the linear lasers and accurately observe all landforms including the local deep trenches on an eroding slope.

  • Patent number: 10795052
    Abstract: The invention belongs to the field studying the devices for soil and water conservation. The invention involves a topography-meter host based on integrative mainboards, which dynamically observe the landform in real-time and three-dimensions. The linear laser sources are accurately positioned with Ohm-shaped clamps, so as to emit parallel and equidistant laser-planes projecting onto a terrain in an experiment. The positions of the laser-sources on the mainboards are fixed with the Ohm-shaped clamps. The clamps do not only realize the convenient adjustment of the emission angle and spacing distance of the adjacent laser-sources, but also ensure a high accuracy of the positions and angles of the laser-sources even if the topography-meter host is moved. Several multi-segmented cases are freely spliced to observe the landforms with different heights in real-time.

  • Patent number: 10783774
    Abstract: A method for estimating road travel time based on the built environment and low-frequency floating car data belongs to the technical field of urban traffic management and traffic system evaluation. The method takes built environment as an explanatory variable of the road travel time. The interpretability of this variable is proved by a numerical example. In addition, the method determines distribution parameters of road travel time using the number distribution of vehicles instead of distance. The benefits of the method are that: (1) it explains the positive effect of built environment on road travel time; and (2) it reflects the speed difference among different road sections, which can improve the precision of estimating road travel time.
