conclusions this study showed that gender, education level, occupation, socioeconomic status, medical care, health condition, lifestyle, family conflict, drug abuse history, and religious attitudes are the major social factors of risky driving on the intercity roads of tehran province. background traffic accidents are the major cause of injuries that endanger the lives of many people annually. ...

one of the most important issues in the plant layout design especially in mass production organizations with high inter-plant logistics is‘material flow and inter-plant traffic analysis and its effects on the production capabilities or pauses in production lines. in this paper the inter-plant traffic analysis issue on the basis of single channel queue model (m/m/1) is analyzed in a carmaker c...

conclusions planning for the prevention of traffic accidents requires standardized data. as the foundation for crash prevention efforts, existing standard data infrastructures present policymakers and government officials with a great opportunity to strengthen and integrate existing accident information systems to better track road traffic injuries and fatalities. results an (mds) of a traffic ...

conclusions atpl was higher in the post-monsoon season. w/s ratio and correlation analysis revealed interseasonal homogeneity of tmv and traffic noise levels and interseasonal heterogeneity of air pollutant concentrations and atpl in the city microenvironments. results atpl was 3.35 times higher in the post-monsoon and 1.83 times higher in the pre-monsoon season than the permissible limits pres...

Traffic congestion in road networks is one of the main issues to be addressed, also vehicle traffic congestion and monitoring has become one of the critical issues in road transport. With the help of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), current information of traffic can be used by control room to improve the traffic efficiency. The suggested system utilize technologies for real-time collect...

Current standards in microscopic modeling lack the ability to address certain traffic scenarios, the ability to capture discrete differences in driver behavior that exist between various driving populations, and are structured in such a fashion that various vehicle movements are predicted and modeled separately. In this study, effect of social traffic behavior on rate of traffic violation of ...

Traffic simulation represents an effective tool for evaluating the suggested alternatives to enhance traffic conditions prior to their application in real sites. U-turn sections represent examples of the complicated sections that cannot be analyzed properly without applying microsimulation approach.  Recently, in Iraq, speed humps were applied in prior to the merging locations and U-turn sectio...

due to demographic changes in germany older people are more frequently injured in road traffic accidents. in 2015, 73.338 older people were involved in traffic accidents with fatalities and/or injuries. the numbers of older people who have been injured in traffic accidents have increased dramatically since the late 90’s (+40%). but in general, elderly are less likely to be involved in road acci...

The performance of many traffic control strategies depends on how much the traffic flow models are accurately calibrated. One of the most applicable traffic flow model in traffic control and management is LWR or METANET model. Practically, key parameters in LWR model, including free flow speed and critical density, are parameterized using flow and speed measurements gathered by inductive loop d...
