We propose a general model to derive lane-changing rules for discretionary and mandatory lane changes for a wide class of car-following models. Both the utility of a given lane and the risk associated with lane changes is determined in terms of longitudinal accelerations calculated with the microscopic traffic models. This allows for the formulation of compact and general safety and incentive c...

High speed trains are an indispensable part of rapid transportation systems in many countries. As the fastest means of transport on the ground, these trains are extremely sensitive to the terrain and track conditions. Geometrical irregularities and mechanical characteristics of the track, together with inconsistencies in the lane (including bridges that support the track) are considered importa...

We present broad band surface photometry of the radio galaxy 3C270 (NGC 4261). We find a distinct dust lane in the V −R image of the galaxy, and determine its orientation and size. We use the major axis profile of the galaxy to estimate the optical depth of the dust lane, and discuss the significance of the lane to the shape of the galaxy. Subject headings: Galaxies: active; Galaxies: radio; Ga...

This dataset contains 154 images in an urban environment originally obtained from the KITTI dataset (see [1]). The images show well a demarcated (white lines) two lane highway road. The detection algorithm/method is requried to only consider the lane the recording platform was driving on (i.e the right lane). Apart from this other challenges include, shadows, variations in lane-markings and pre...

Fig. S1. Immunoblot analysis using purified human laminin-332. Lane 1 is for IgG autoantibodies of anti-laminin-332 MMP control, lane 2 for IgG autoantibodies of normal control, lane 3 for patient IgG autoantibodies, and lane 4 for patient IgA autoantibodies. Both IgG and IgA from the patient reacted with the 165-kDa and 145-kDa forms of α3 subunit, as well as the 105-kDa γ2 subunit of laminin-...

Lane markings can provide drivers significant warning instruction about current/ approaching road condition, in that case precise lane marking detection results are important assistance for safety issue in the driving assistance system (DAS). In this paper, we mainly focus on urban lane marking detection. We used sampling peaks from IPM image for lane markings’ extraction and description. The p...

When a set of repetitions of swimming, a particular type of exercise in the weight room, or a session on a swim-bench is planned, each block of exercises attempted is a training stimulus. At the completion of the training stimulus experience, the body should have changed in the way the stimulus provoked. In accordance with the Principle of Specificity, specific exercises train specific movement...

Plant nutritionist have traditionally considered the obvious way to feed plants is through the soil, where plant roots are meant to uptake water and nutrients, but in recent years foliar feeding has been developed to supply plants with their nutritional needs. The development of pressurised irrigation equipment such as drip irrigation has promoted the need for water-soluble fertilisers, as clea...

Current digital maps are inadequate for many advanced information applications in vehicles. One shortcoming is the lack of lane geometry models with suucient precision. This paper discuss several applications of a lane model database and presents an inexpensive method of inducing lane models by analyzing unsupervised traces of vehicle positions that come from Global Positioning System receivers...

In order to alleviate traffic congestions and environmental impact, developing a model to evaluate under various geometric and traffic conditions is desirable, which is the objective of this study. The car following model describes following behaviors that drivers follow each other in the traffic stream on only one lane. The lane change model is one of the essential components of any microscopi...
