Traffic congestion can be evaluated in various ways that result in very different conclusions about the nature of the problem and optimal solutions. This paper describes various factors that affect congestion costing and the evaluation of potential congestion reduction strategies, including the scope of analysis, baseline speeds, travel time unit costs, the impacts of traffic speeds on accident...

Drivers in urban neighborhoods who patrol streets, seeking inexpensive on-street parking create a significant fraction of measured traffic congestion. The pool of drivers patrolling at any time can be modeled as a queue, where ‘queue service’ is the act of parking in a recently vacated parking space and queue discipline is SIRO – Service In Random Order. We develop a queueing model of such driv...

Transport is one of the key elements in development any country; it can be a powerful catalyst for economic growth. However, infrastructure does not give enough to huge number vehicles which produces several problems, particularly terms road safety, and loss time pollution. One most significant problems congestion, this major handicap transport system. An alternative would use new technologies ...

A nascent ridesharing industry is being enabled by new communication technologies and motivated by the many possible benefits, such as reduction in travel cost, pollution, and congestion. Understanding the complex relations between ridesharing and traffic congestion is a critical step in the evaluation of a ridesharing enterprise or of the convenience of regulatory policies or incentives to pro...

short-term prediction of traffic flow is central to alleviating congestion and controlling the negative impacts of environmental pollution resulting from vehicle emissions on both inter- and intra-urban highways. the strong need to monitor and control congestion time and costs for metropolis in developing countries has therefore motivated the current study. this paper establishes the applicatio...

Several techniques have been developed to meet the demand for faster and more efficient access to the Internet. Different applications have different networking requirements. For example, realtime interactive voice requires a low latency network path, but does not require high bandwidth. QoS refers to the ability of a network to provide improved service to selected network traffic over various ...

Congestion is a growing and global problem, impacting the majority of people traveling and goods moving. Governments are challenged to keep the traffic flowing, to reduce pollution and decrease the economic damage caused by congestion. Highly accurate traffic information helps governments to reach their goals to become smart and sustainable. Due to the increasing volume of connected navigation ...

In case that malicious or selfish user congests network, the traditional congestion control schemes such as ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification) in TCP protocol could not control the pernicious congestion so perfectly as they protect normal traffic. In this paper, we propose a strong congestion-making traffic control scheme, which is capable of preventing malicious or selfish user from conges...
