Street Light Control System which operates automatically is not only easiest but also the intelligent system. This system can be set to operate in automatic mode, which regulates the streetlight according to brightness and dimness Algorithm and light intensity. This control can make a reasonable adjustment according to the seasonal variation. we can take the initiative to control streetlights t...

1 Abstract A generic proecological traffic control model for the urban street canyon is proposed by development of advanced continuum field hydrodynamical control model of the street canyon. The model of optimal control of street canyon dynamics is also investigated. The mathematical physics' approach (Eulerian approach) to vehicular movement, to pollutants' emission, and to pollutants' dynamic...

Selecting the most appropriate traffic control strategy for incident congestion management can have a major impact on the extent and duration of the resulting congestion. This research investigated the effective-nesses of several control strategies on various incident conditions. The selected control strategies representing possible ITS technologies included traffic metering (ATMS), traffic div...

The impact of neighborhood walkability (based on street connectivity and traffic exposure) within 2 km of public primary schools on children regularly walking to school was examined. The most (n=13) and least walkable (n=12) schools were selected using a school-specific 'walkability' index and a cross sectional study undertaken of Year 5, 6 and 7 children (n=1480) and consenting parents (n=1332...

This study evaluates individual preferences for five different cycling environments by trading off a better facility with a higher travel time against a less attractive facility at a lower travel time. The tradeoff of travel time to amenities of a particular facility informs our understanding of the value attached to different attributes such as bike-lanes, off-road trails, or side-street parki...

Most traffic accidents involving pedestrians happen during street crossing. Safe street crossing by older adults requires complex planning and imposes high cognitive demands. Understanding how street crossing situations affect younger and older adults' gait is important to create evidence-based policies, education and training. The objective of this study was to develop and test a method to eva...

This paper presents the development of unequally-spaced or irregularly observed traffic measurement prediction model. Traffic measurements from detectors are usually observed or assumed to be equally-spaced (e.g., every 30 seconds and 1 minute) for transportation research. However, some traffic measurements may not be observed or assumed to be equally-spaced especially in arterial street and IT...

The traffic in urban areas is mainly regularized by traffic lights, which may contribute to the unnecessary long waiting times for vehicles if not efficiently configured. This inefficient configuration is unfortunately still the case in a lot of urban areas, where most of the traffic lights are based on a 'fixed cycle' protocol. To improve the traffic light configuration, this paper proposed mo...

Street-parking vehicles cause many problems in urban traffic situation: blinds area, traffic congestions, and so on. Detection method of street-parking vehicles are proposed. The proposed method is based on epipolar-plane image (EPI) analysis. First, our proposed method detects edges in EPIs by applying Hough transformation. By computing depth variation from slope of detected edges, street-park...
