The Internet is a prevailing network infrastructure for integrating broadcasting, telecommunications and data communications. Multimedia services such as IPTV and VoIP achieve economy of scale in many countries and the number of subscribers is increasing fast. As multimedia applications become pervasive in the Internet, the characteristics of IP traffic mix has changed. Workload characterizatio...

1389-1286/$ see front matter Crown Copyright doi:10.1016/j.comnet.2011.05.012 E-mail address: [email protected] We survey the state-of-the-art technologies in Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) network reconfiguration. Our focus is the strategies and triggering methods. We compare the proposed technologies in the literature from different perspectives: traffic-changes triggered vs. other ev...

A recent survey [1] has indicated an increasing usage of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) route selection for interAutonomous System (AS) Traffic Engineering (TE) in response to changes in network conditions [2] such as traffic load and link capacities. The objective of inter-AS outbound TE is to control the flow of traffic exiting an AS, through optimal BGP route selection [3], so as to optimize ...

Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs), a special kind of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs), where wirelessequipped (road) vehicles form a network without any additional infrastructure. Due to the fast growing number of vehicles and saturation of the transportation infrastructure traffic congestion, accidents and transportation delays become unavoidable. Several measures are implemented in order to s...

The Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) provides services related to different modes of transport and traffic management systems with an integration of traffic control centers. Video-Based investigation for traffic surveillance has been a vital part of ITS. The traffic surveillance in urban environment have become more challenging compared to the highways due to various factors like camera ...

Human gesture recognition has become a very important topic in computer vision. The purpose of this survey is to provide a detailed overview and categories of current issues and trends. The recognition of human hand gesture movement can be performed at various level of abstraction. This survey concentrate on approaches that aim on recognizing traffic police hand signals. Many application and al...

Vehicular ad hoc networks, an emerging network platform based on vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications, promise valuable applications to enhance driving safety, comfort, and efficiency. In this article we introduce the different solutions those can be improve the Traffic system in India and abroad & every one sharing the roads should respect each others presence and th...

There is a broad range of applications of visual object tracking that motivate the interests of researchers worldwide. These include video surveillance to know the suspicious activity, sport video analysis to extract highlights, traffic monitoring to analyse traffic flow and human computer interface to assist visually challenged people. In general, the processing framework of object tracking in...

Real time VBR (variable bit rate) video traffic prediction plays an important role in dynamic bandwidth allocation schemes by providing an accurate estimation of the instantaneous bandwidth requirement of VBR video traffic and it has been widely used in dynamic bandwidth allocation. A number of prediction algorithms have been proposed in the literature and they can be broadly classified into tw...

The Department of Roads and Transportation of Polytechnic University of Bari owns CW radar devices for road traffic surveys. The radars can be used to measure traffic volumes and vehicle lengths and speeds. Radar’s manual suggests to refer to measures of length to install the devices. To verify the reliability of such measures , an experimental survey has been carried out. The results of the su...
