Automatic road extraction from aerial images can be very helpful in traffic control and vehicle guidance systems. Most of the road detection approaches are based on image segmentation algorithms. Color-based segmentation is very sensitive to light changes and consequently the change of weather condition affects the recognition rate of road detection systems. In order to reduce the light change ...

road transportation by way of automobiles is a very convenient means of transportation. today, the most detrimental consequence of developing transportation systems in a country is traffic accident that places a huge financial burden on society. this paper investigates the role of information systems in transportation safety that leads to improved planning and operation of the transportation sy...

Aim of study: This paper presents a mathematical modeling approach to redesign the reels chickpea harvesters for harvest efficiency.Area A prototype harvester was designed and evaluated on Dooshan farm University Kurdistan, Sanandaj, Iran.Material methods: The strategy used reducing harvesting losses derived from dynamic study reel applied harvester. machine such that bats power take-off (PTO)-...

In this paper a robust road departure avoidance system based on a closed-loop driver decision estimator (DDE) is presented. The main idea is that of incorporating the driver intent in the control of the vehicle. The driver decision estimator computes the vehicle look ahead lateral position based on the driver input and uses this position to establish the risk of road departure. To induce a risk...

to cope with the urban congestion problem resulted from rapid urbanization some cities are successfully using electronic road pricing policy as a demand management measure. in 1982, hong kong governmenttook initiative to experiment electronic road pricing in hong kong. though, the project outcome reveals that electronic road pricing could bring tremendous economic, social and environmental bene...

Due to the increasing complexity of applications and the availability of high speed networks, classical protocols have become the main bottleneck in communication systems. Although tailored protocols are able to respond to the needs of a given application, their development is expensive in terms of time and e ort. An automatic protocol generation environment is most desirable. Two approaches cu...

Im Artikel wird anhand der internationalen Diskussion über Lehrerausbildung und mithilfe des Ansatzes der Phänomenographie ein Konzept zur Integration von Schülerlaboren in die Informatiklehramtsbildung vorgestellt, um so die Praxisbezüge der ersten Phase der Lehrerausbildung zu stärken. Gleichzeitig werden Grundlagen gelegt, um durch einen ‚forschenden Blick„ auf Unterricht Kompetenzen zur Pla...

With the One Belt, One Road initiative, China is embarking on a huge project which plans to connect the East and West via the extensive development of infrastructure. It is an expression of Chinese expansion and is aimed at promoting a whole range of Chinese interests. The main focus of the initiative is on the countries within Central Asia, which is precisely where these interests are highly c...
