Sustainable mobility requires a better management of the available infrastructure resources. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to obtain accurate data about road usage, in particular in urban areas. Although a variety of sensor alternates for urban traffic exist, they usually require extensive investments in the form of construction works for installation, processing means, etc. Wireless Se...

From now to 2030, the world urban mobility will increase by 50%. This increase will be mainly performed in developing countries which already suffer from congestion traffic especially in large cities where road traffic reaches a high density. This situation leads to a serious impact on the economic and social growth. The urban traffic management has become an essential factor. Within the framew...

This paper describes a prototype development of a new system for the integration of real-time traffic data within a GIS. Various functions of traffic monitoring systems are improved in terms of graphic capabilities in particular through the temporal visualisations of traffic conditions within an urban network. Traffic data are integrated and aggregated on a real-time basis. Complementary abstra...

Urban Traffic Control is a key problem for most big cities. An inefficient traffic control system can lead to increased traffic congestions that degrade city quality metrics such as average travel time or city pollution. Most common approaches focus on controlling traffic by appropriately setting traffic lights. Current systems in operation range from static control of traffic light phases to a...

Problem statement: The problem of urban traffic noise pollution is universal and in the past few decades it has grown to the point that it has become a major concern for both the public and the policy-makers. Approach: In a comprehensive 18 month research project, traffic-generated noise was monitored at 47 roadway locations in fourteen districts in metropolitan Kuwait in 2004-2005. Simultaneou...

This paper describes a new real-time urban monitoring system. The system uses the Localizing and Handling Network Event Systems (LocHNESs) platform developed by Telecom Italia for the real-time evaluation of urban dynamics based on the anonymous monitoring of mobile cellular networks. In addition, data are supplemented based on the instantaneous positioning of buses and taxis to provide informa...

today’s, a common problem in cities is increasing delay and reducing the speed of traffic. on the other wise increasing costs of acquisition in urban area are not allow new routes and highways. also construction of new highway or street such as imam ali highway and sadr highway in tehran lead to develop new applications (such as brt lane ,…) and become quickly saturate and less efficient. there...

Nowadays urban pollution exposure from road transport has become a great concern in major cities throughout the world. A modelling framework has been developed to simulate Personal Exposure Frequency Distributions (PEFDs) as a function of urban background and roadside pollutant concentrations, under different traffic conditions. In this paper, we present a technique for classifying roads, accor...
