Objective: To improve the reliability of complex urban public transportation network. Methods: Establishing the reliability evaluation system of urban public transportation network. Process: The paper introduces the development of urban traffic construction, describes the characteristic parameters of complex networks, and establishes the model of the reliability evaluation index system of compl...

The usability and effectiveness of traffic management and traffic control systems greatly depends on its ability of reacting upon traffic patterns and permutations. There are several factors that affect the performance of conventional traffic control systems, for instance: changes in traffic flow, accidents, different behaviour and travel demand. In this research we investigate how to apply aut...

For having better and up to date traffic information access, spatio-temporal GIS for transportation (TGIS-T) needs to interact with the intelligent transport systems (ITS). Advanced traffic management systems (ATMS) is one of the components of the ITS and predicts traffic congestion and provides real time traffic information and optimal control strategies for freeways and arterials. ATMS needs ...

Managing traffic in urban areas is a complex affair. The same becomes more challenging when one needs to take into account the prioritized movement of emergency vehicles along with the normal flow of traffic. Although, mechanisms have been proposed to model intelligent traffic management systems, a concentrated effort to facilitate the movement of emergency services amongst urban traffic is yet...

e-mail: [email protected] The problem of traffic congestion is particularly acute in urban areas in which the possibilities for the physical increase of capacities are limited or nonexistent. Traffic congestion has a direct impact on the emission, energy efficiency and fuel consumption of personal vehicles. Several projects in the European Union are focused on solving this problem (both at the...

The study is of great importance at present due to the bad state of traffic management in Mysore. In the past decade, although there have been technological improvements in almost all fields, the state of traffic management technologies is still at a primitive level. A clear framework for traffic operations is necessary towards traffic delays, congestion, and parking and management functions. T...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of motorcycle to car transitioning and urbanisation on traffic injury rates in Thailand. DESIGN Analysis of two consecutive surveys of a large national cohort study. SETTING Thailand. PARTICIPANTS The data derived from 57,154 Thai Cohort Study (TCS) participants who provided relevant data on both the 2005 and 2009 surveys. P...

In Urban Mobility Report, delays due to heavy traffic costing Americans $78 billion in the form of 4.2 billion lost hours and 2.9 billion gallons of wasted fuel. In addition, 2/3 of traffic delays are caused not by recurring congestion but by point-based spontaneous congestion due to traffic incidences. STAR-CITY, which integrates (human and machine-based) sensor data using variety of formats, ...

background :traffic and transport is a substantial part of a range of economic, social and environmental factors distinguished to have impact on human health. this paper is a report on a preliminary section of a health impact assessment (hia) on urban traffic and transport initiatives, being conducted in sanandaj, iran. in this preliminary study, the psychometric properties of urban traffic rel...

Neighborhoods within the hierarchy of urban structure are one of the smallest socio-physical building blocks of cities. Traditional neighborhoods of Iranian historic cities benefited from strong social relations which were flourished over the years and were manifested in the neighborhoods centers. In the modern era, the new master plans and the complementary local plans have disintegrated th...
