Congestion plays a vital role in degrading the performance of the network. Under idle condition, network traffic is less whereas when an event is detected, the network traffic becomes high thus leading to congestion in the network. To ensure the reliability of the network an efficient protocol is proposed to detect and control congestion. Though there are various sources for congestion, the sig...

Accidents and congestion are two frustrating events, which can be observed very frequently on roads. Accidents, especially on expressways, can trigger heavy traffic congestions imposing huge external costs and reducing the level of service. Therefore it is obvious that accidents clearly have an impact on congestion. But the opposite, i.e. the effect of congestion on occurrence of accidents, is ...

The proposed system exhibit the issues of congestion in WSN which usually takes place when the quantity of the sensor motes reporting data maximizes towards sink mote. This phenomenon will cause minimization of optimal throughput and loss of valuable data. The proposed system highlights a novel approach for mitigating the ill-effects of traffic congestion in the area of wireless sensor network....

This paper discusses the evolution of the congestion controls that govern all Internet traffic. In particular we chronicle and discuss the implications of the fact that the most significant "congestion signals" are increasingly coming from network operators, not the TCP stack. Providers now nudge users into different traffic patterns using a variety of new technical and non-technical means. The...

A nascent ridesharing industry is being enabled by new communication technologies and motivated by the many possible benefits, such as reduction in travel cost, pollution, and congestion. Understanding the complex relations between ridesharing and traffic congestion is a critical step in the evaluation of a ridesharing enterprise or of the convenience of regulatory policies or incentives to pro...

Due to the unpredictable behavior of the traffic and various traffic characteristics, it has become a great challenge for ATM networks to effectively control traffic and congestion while at the same time provide the desired quality of service. In this paper, a fuzzy logic traffic controller is proposed to perform traffic and congestion control functions. Simulation results showed the feasibilit...

The network performance in WSNs is mainly affected by the congestion due to bursty traffic. Congestion can cause large packet drops, increased energy consumption and latency. Different traffic rate control mechanisms have proposed to mitigate congestion and most of these mechanisms are greatly affecting the fidelity requirement of the applications. In this paper, we proposed an algorithm named,...

In order to exploit the nonlinear time-varying property of network traffic, the traffic flow from controlled sources is described by a fuzzy autoregressive moving-average model with auxiliary input (fuzzy ARMAX process), with the traffic flow from uncontrolled sources (i.e., cross traffic) being described as external disturbances. In order to overcome the difficulty of the transmission delay in...

Traffic congestion varies spatially and temporally. The observation of the formation, propagation and dispersion of network traffic congestion can lead to insights about the network performance, the bottleneck dynamics etc. While many researchers use the traffic flow data to reconstruct the congestion profile, the data missing problem is bypassed. Current methods either omit the missing data or...

A major factor that contributes to congestion on today’s freeways is the severe inhomogeneities of the traffic streams. If the traffic density can be controlled, congestion can be eliminated and delays can be reduced. This goal can be achieved by properly controlling the mean speed of traffic on each section of the freeway lane as well as the ramp entering rates. In this paper a fuzzy traffic d...
