We present a method to automatically collect data about distance and speed of vehicles ahead of a car participating in highway traffic. The method should support the registration of traffic in front of a driving car over long periods of time in order to be able to detect over-persistent congestion (OPC) situations. The method requires no specialized devices; it is based on a simple video stream...

Congestion is a wasteful stage of the production process where outputs are reduced due to excessive amount of inputs. There are several approaches in data envelopment analysis (DEA) literatures to treat congestion. The concept of strong and weak congestion first developed by Tone and Sahoo [Tone, K., Sahoo, B.K., 2004. Degree of scale economies and congestion: A unified DEA approach. European J...

Allocating fairly the maximum available bandwidth among competing flows is an important problem as it allows maximizing system throughput and fairness. Given the dynamic nature of traffic load in current Internet and the short duration of most modern applications, fast convergence to fairness is necessitated. In this paper, we use fairness as the major criterion to adjust traffic and present a ...

Reliable transport protocols such as TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) are tuned to perform well in traditional networks where packet losses occur mostly because of congestion. However, on the wireless links where packet losses frequently happen, TCP shows a serious drop in performance. In this paper, we propose a scheme, called BSF (Buffer State based Flow control), which can solve this prob...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a specific category of wireless ad-hoc networks where their performance is highly affected by application, life time, storage capacity, processing power, topology changes, the communication medium and bandwidth. These limitations necessitate an effective data transport control in WSNs considering quality of service, energy efficiency, and congestion control. ...

On high-speed networks, the round trip delay from source to intermediate node and back is relatively large compared with packet transmission times; thus, the window-based method of flow control does not react quickly enough to prevent congestion and large delay. An alternative method is to employ a rate-based flow control scheme, in which each node is assigned a maximum rate and an average rate...

acute venous congestion leads to blood stasis in the tissue and impaired blood perfusion. using medicinal leech is an old method of reducing tissue congestion. there are numerous factors in leech saliva and hirudin that have important roles in the leeching beneficial effect. in this study, an animal study was performed to compare leech therapy with heparin therapy in the treatment of acute veno...

The relevance of the present paper is justified by need to search for a scientifically based criterion formation, development and elimination traffic congestion using modern highly efficient mathematical methods information processing. It seems necessary study results rescaled range, statistical, fractal, harmonic, wavelet analysis time series formed (duration) movement cars in stream along roa...

Detecting the weak and strong congestion statuses of decision-making units (DMUs) measuring them via data envelopment analysis (DEA) is an important issue that has been discussed in several studies with different views. The efficiency frontier a concept derived from underlying production possibility set (PPS), related to them. Still, researchers have defined for each DMU many previous ignored l...

the method for measuring the congestion of Noura et al. [A.A. Noura, F. ‎Hosseinzadeh Lotfi, G.R. Jahanshahloo, S. ‎Fanati Rashidi, R.P. Barnett, A new method for measuring congestion in data envelopment analysis, Socio-Economic Planning Sciences, 44 (2010) 240-246] ,there is no problem for congestion detection In the case of one input and one output but in higher space is not able to detect co...
