Communication networks are nowadays crucial in our lives and the study of its traffic features yields important advantages. In both network and traffic design the understanding of the relationship between the traffic on a node and its fluctuations plays a key role. In this paper we investigate the relationship between the mean traffic flow experienced by a node and its standard deviation via nu...

Pedestrian protection project is presently the key aim in the fields of traffic safety and vehicle passive safety, which is attached to great importance by numerous researchers at home and abroad. Based on PC-Crash program for simulation and reconstruction of road accident and in-line MADYMO program for multi-body system dynamics analysis, the kinematics law and characteristics of pedestrian in...

This article describes some fundamentals for an environment-responsive traffic control.

Traffic supervision usually means the traffic work of police. Most people agree that traffic supervision is very important in preventing traffic accidents. Police activity, as it relates to highway safety, is a primary consideration in this paper. Perhaps traffic supervision may best be described as the elastic or flexible element in traffic safety programs— the work that fills in the gaps and ...

Traffic accident and fatality rates can be utilized as indicators of traffic safety, but cannot reflect the overall status of traffic safety in a country. This paper uses a holistic perspective approach to investigate traffic safety in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Initially, 12 potential items were selected to investigate the issue of traffic safety in the country. The investigation included...

OBJECTIVES This study assessed whether states that lowered legal blood alcohol limits from 0.10% to 0.08% in 1993 and 1994 experienced post-law reductions in alcohol related fatal crashes. METHODS Six states that adopted 0.08% as the legal blood alcohol limit in 1993 and 1994 were paired with six nearby states that retained a 0.10% legal standard. Within each pair, comparisons were made for t...

OBJECTIVE This study aims to apply time series analysis techniques to examine the effects of random breath testing (RBT) on three age-specific traffic fatalities in four Australian states while considering the effects of lowering the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA). METHODS Long-term time series of age-specific traffic crash deaths in four Australian states were used to analyse the impact o...
