Abstract The purpose of this paper is to clarify the properties of road network patterns by considering the relationship between neighborhood intersections. The Relative Neighborhood Graph (RNG), which is one of the proximity graph, is used to analyze the road network patterns of major cities in the United States as a network construction model. The grid-tree proportion (GTP) index and the cros...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that can impair communication, social skills, living and learning capabilities. Learning approaches usually differ between mainstream schools special needs schools, to cater for the different processes of children with ASD. Besides traditional classroom-based education, alternative technology methods are explored education. One method...

Pedestrian are most at risk when crossing a road section with a large amount of pedestrian-vehicle interaction. Thus, an understanding of the complex interaction between pedestrian behaviour, signal setting and environment is essential to assess the contribution of these factors to pedestrian accidents. The complexity of these interactions could possibly been described and explored using a powe...

To solve the problem in pedestrian Mid-Block street crossing, the method of signal coordination control between mid-block street crossing and intersection is researched in this paper. The paper proposes to use “distance-flow rate-time” graph as the tool for building coordination control system model which is for different situations of traffic control. Through alternating the linear optimizatio...

In this paper we propose a novel methodology for extracting a road network and its nodes from satellite images of Algeria country. This developed technique is a progress of our previous research works. It is founded on the information theory and the mathematical morphology; the information theory and the mathematical morphology are combined together to extract and link the road segments to form...
