P2P traffic has brought serious impact on the bearer network, and how to utilize network bandwidth has become a common concern problem for the Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the P2P user. A congestion distance and DHT based P2P traffic optimization method is proposed in this paper. The P2P traffic optimization model imports both aims of the ISP and the P2P user, and the cost of congestion ...

Traffic congestion has been increasing because of increased population growth mainly in major cities due to urbanization. Traffic congestion causes increased air pollution, travel time and mostly traffic accidents; therefore we need an efficient traffic management system. Today most of the cities of the world have intelligent transport system which is equipped with electronics devices to commun...

In studies of complex heterogeneous networks, particularly of the Internet, significant attention was paid to analyzing network failures caused by hardware faults or overload, where the network reaction was modeled as rerouting of traffic away from failed or congested elements. Here we model another type of the network reaction to congestion – a sharp reduction of the input traffic rate through...

Nowadays, the number of vehicles has increased exponentially, but the bedrock capacities of roads and transportation systems have not developed in an equivalent way to efficiently cope with the number of vehicles traveling on them. Due to this, road jamming and traffic correlated pollution have increased with the associated adverse societal and financial effect on different markets worldwide. A...

Despite the vast wealth of traffic data available, currently there is only limited integration, analysis and utilisation of data in the transport domain. Yet, accurate congestion and incident detection is vital for traffic network operators to allow them to mitigate the cost of traffic incidents. Recurrent (cyclical) traffic congestion tends to be managed using timetabled control measures or th...

With the increase of multimedia traffic over the past few years and traffic differentiation introduced by IEEE 802.11e, nodes with packet loss, delay-sensitive multimedia traffic tend to be busy for long periods, thus exacerbating the congestion problem in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). In this paper, we first expose that the performance of MANETs routing protocols is highly dependent on the ...

Traffic congestion is a common problem; particularly in metropolitan areas. It is especially true for the Tokyo Metropolitan Freeway (MEX) which handles about 1.2 million vehicles per day. Thirty percent of these vehicles use the MEX central circular and radial routes causing chronic traffic congestion. A traffic-control center in Japan mitigates the congestion by governing access to MEX entran...

Traffic jam in Malaysia is a huge and complicated problem nowadays, due to the rapid increase in the demand for transportation. This causes a longer vehicle travel times, increased energy consumption, growing environmental pollution, reduced traffic safety, and a decrease in the efficiency of transportation infrastructure. Hence, controlling the flow of traffic has become a very important issue...

Huang, Transportation Planning Division, Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission, 8787 Georgia Avenue, Silver Spring, Md. 20910. A transportation planning model that integrates regional and local-area forecasting approaches is developed and applied. Although regio...

Economic development and urbanization poses myriad challenges to transportation systems in relation to negative externalities such as traffic congestion and environmental health risks. Accra, the capital of Ghana, faces mounting urban planning problems, for example traffic congestion, air pollution, traffic safety, and land use planning, among others. The paper aims to provide a system dynamics...
