In the past decades, traffic problems has become a major research field of both academic and industrial community. In this paper, we propose a SelfAdaptive Navigation System (SeNS) to provide optimal tailored driving paths, reflecting real-time road traffic information. The current navigation systems are using server independently, and only use the static time stamp-based traffic information. F...

The purpose of this study was to investigate traffic flow characteristics at off-ramp junctions in Iranian expressways. The study was conducted on the traffic behavior in isolated off-ramp vicinity of 6-lane expressways. The database consisted of traffic flow and traffic speed information extracted from videotapes. The relationship between diverging traffic flow in the right lane of expressway ...

The first journal article on neural network application in civil/structural engineering was published in this journal in 1989. This article reviews neural network articles published in archival research journals since then. The emphasis of the review is on the two fields of structural engineering and construction engineering and management. Neural networks articles published in other civil engi...

The StarPlane project enables users to dynamically control network photonic paths. Applications that run on the Distributed ASCI Supercomputer (DAS-3) manipulate wavelengths in the Dutch research and education network SURFnet6. The goal is to achieve fast switching times so that when the computational pattern in the computing clusters changes, the underlying network topology adapts rapidly to t...

With the availability of high-performance off-the-shelf computers and high-speed widearea networks, large-scale distributed computing environments are growing at an amazing speed. These environments enable massive computations to be performed using a large number of computers connected over WAN (Wide Area Networks). This form of distributed computing (grid computing) dynamically involves a numb...
