The development and popularity of the e-bike is enabling an unexpected transport revolution, namely a substantive modal shift in regional commuting from car transit to cycling. To achieve this, however, requires major effort constructing high-quality spacious cycling infrastructure connecting (sub)urban residential sites nodes work study. In Netherlands, such investments have resulted construct...

Interstate highways are a permanent and increasingly important feature of America’s rural landscape. Their impact on agriculture and rural living, which is already felt, w ill be greatly intensified in the next few years. Consider some of the overall dimensions of this new highway system. Of the 41,000 miles authorized, more than 35,000 miles are classed as rural. ( 1 ) * One-third of all count...

The study has four main objectives: (1) to test the correlation between different infrastructure characteristics and crash-rates, and trends; (2) to develop an Infrastructure Coefficient (IC) that represents the overall infrastructure characteristics of two-lane rural highways; (3) to develop a crash-prediction model for two-lane rural highways in which the IC developed is the independent varia...

By using a simplified two-lane cellular automata model for traffic flow, we simulate an evacuation of an emergency vehicle (EV) in highways. We introduce the pull over strategy to facilitate the evacuation of the EV in highways. We demonstrate numerically that this pulling over of cars promotes a faster moving of the EV in traffic flow and minimize the EV's impact on the overall traffic. Emerge...

Wetland ecosystems, particularly the mangrove forest, are the primary wild habitat of heronry birds. However, urban ecosystems have become a favorite breeding habitat of these birds. To provide inputs into the habitat management for conservation of these birds, we investigated the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of nesting trees of heronry birds in the urban environment of the Nort...

The paper is an analytical review of the currently existing methods traffic flows modeling. movement vehicles on road can be modeled in different ways. Mathematical models as tools that allow us to study complex processes real world, including transport infrastructure, without capital expenditures, are a popular tool for solving many problems various spheres national economy. There several appr...
