We look at the scenario of having to route a continuous rate of traffic from a source node to a sink node in a network, where the objective is to maximize throughput. This is of interest, e.g., for providers of streaming content in communication networks. The overall path latency, which was relevant in other non-cooperative network routing games such as the classic Wardrop model, is of lesser c...

Vehicular traffic is the major problem which every country faces because of the increase in number of vehicles throughout the world, especially in large urban areas. Therefore it is required to explore the options to better accommodate increasing demand of traffic control and one of them is to development of simulated model and optimization of traffic control. Fuzzy optimization deals with find...

BACKGROUND There is growing evidence that air pollution from traffic has adverse long-term effects on chronic respiratory disease in children, but there are few studies and more inconclusive results in adults. We examined associations between residential traffic and asthma and COPD in adults in southern Sweden. A postal questionnaire in 2000 (n = 9319, 18-77 years) provided disease status, and ...

Traffic jam often occurs around the signalized intersection because each takes “stop-and-go cost” to pass through the intersection. Hence, traffic signal control has significant meanings in reducing the traffic jams efficiently. A modification method of traffic signal control management based on self-organizing is introduced. The self-organizing observed in non-linier coupled oscillators is ref...

Although there is research focused on real-time traffic information, in terms of types of information, timing of provision and drivers’ acceptance, not much is related to quantifying real-time traffic information and its perceived value, i.e., amount of information and willingness to pay (WTP) for that information. In this study, freeway drivers’ preferred types of real-time traffic information...

In order to forecast mobile communication traffic quickly and accurately, Hidden Markov Models (HMM) is used to forecast busy hour traffic of wireless mobile communication forecasting in this paper. Because of the model having rigorous mathematical structure, reliable computing performance and the characteristics of describing the event, HMM becomes the ideal model for describing the traffic se...

the police are competent and always present contact persons who have direct knowledge and experience and act as role models in the area of road traffic. one of the focuses of police work is to increase tolerance and consideration, especially for more vulnerable road users. the priorities of the police are geared at emphasizing how relevant and appropriate the decisions made by road traffic auth...
