Currently, short-term car rental services (car-sharing) are a solution that is an alternative to individual motorization, which can be used in cities. With the level of sophistication relevant systems, there more and problems with their proper functioning. However, understand essence some or properly introduce new system market, it important how systems work main relationships between factors a...

Transportation is basic service required by all citizens. Long route transportation is norm today for transporting goods and persons. Road transport has remained one of the important means of transportation. Increase in population and motorization in the country along with expansion of road network contributes to the number of road accidents, injuries and mortalities, as well as loss of product...

Introduction: Globalization has resulted in motorization pacing up the number of road traffic accidents, thereby affecting the families, community and nations as a whole. In 2010, the WHO member countries declared 2011–2020 as the Decade of Action for Road Safety, to stabilize and reduce the increasing trend in road traffic fatalities. Objectives: To know the socio-demographic profile of RTA ca...

Continuous motorization and urbanization around the globe leads to an expansion of population in major cities. Therefore, ever-growing pressure imposed on the existing mass transit systems calls for a better technology, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), to solve many new and demanding management issues. Many studies in the extant ITS literature attempted to address these issues within w...

In Jordan, traffic accidents constitute a major health problem. They are considered the second leading cause of death. This paper investigated the characteristics of traffic accidents in Jordan and evaluated the safety impact of policy measures undertaken in 2008, including intensification of police enforcement and implementation of traffic law with stiff penalty levels. To accomplish these obj...

Purpose: The aim of the work is presents the influence of casting method and anodic treatment parameters on properties, thickness and structure of an anodic layer formed on aluminium casting alloys. Design/methodology/approach: Investigations were carried out on the laser profile measurement gauge MicroProf from company FRT, abrasive wear test was made with using ABR-8251 equipment delivered by...

Vehicular traffic is a classical example of a multi-agent system in which autonomous drivers operate in a shared environment. The article provides an overview of the state-of-the-art in microscopic traffic modeling and the implications for simulation techniques. We focus on the short-time dynamics of car-following models which describe continuous feedback control tasks (acceleration and braking...

Rapid global economic development, population growth, and increased motorization have resulted in significant issues urban traffic safety. This study explores the intrinsic connections between road environments driving safety by integrating multiple visual landscape elements. High-resolution remote sensing street-view images were used as primary data sources to obtain features of an expressway....

Urban congestion has become a global problem with urbanization and motorization. The analysis of time-varying traffic patterns is necessary to formulate effective management strategies. existing studies have focused on flow developed by the volume, speed density road sections in limited district, while long-time macro network at city level inadequate. This paper aims recognize urban based perfo...
