In terms of ecology, economy and society, the development of public transportation networks is a major issue. Essentially the transportation of hazardous materials can have negative impact on human health and the environment quality. The urban networks must increase their quality in terms of punctuality and vehicle frequency to improve its attractiveness while decreasing the management cost. In...

Quantitative and qualitative monitoring and evaluation of risk management programs will play an important role in the development of Tehran metropolitan railway transport. Considering the tectonic studies, seismic zones, land degradation and faults in north and south of Tehran, the development of underground railway lines, the assessment of the vulnerability of subway stations and the escalatio...

Geo Semantic Technology is evaluated as the core technology for supporting interoperability of geospatial data and building urban computing environment. We made semantic integrations of LOD's Linked Geo Data and Open Street Map with Korean POI data set, and have researched for developing intelligent road sign management system based on the LarKC platform.

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...

Urban data management is already an essential element of modern cities. The authorities can build on the variety of automatically generated information and develop intelligent services that improve citizens daily life, save environmental resources or aid in coping with emergencies. From a data mining perspective, urban data introduce a lot of challenges. Data volume, velocity and veracity are s...

Intelligent transport systems (ITS) non-safety capabilities along with the development of next generation grid-based vehicles will continue to play a fundamental role in the development of new applications that can impact logistics and supply chain management operations. The principles characterizing non-safety ITS applications can be developed to increase the reliability and visibility of supp...

Nowadays, one of the problems of human life is popula- tion congestion and the lack of ability to meet their needs. One of the important infrastructures affected by this issue is the transportation infrastructure. Moreover, increasing transportation facilities through conventional methods, due to the need for macro investment and much time, cannot be nowadays considered as a proper and practi- ...

In this article we describe a low-cost, minimally-intrusive system for the efficient management of parking spaces on both public roads and controlled zones. This system is based on wireless networks of photoelectric sensors that are deployed on the access roads into and out of these areas. The sensors detect the passage of vehicles on these roads and communicate this information to a data centr...
