This paper presents an agent-based approach to design a Transportation Regulation Support System (TRSS). Based on a multi-agent modeling of a urban transportation network, the objective of our approach is to integrate the functionalities of the existing information system with the functionalities of a decision support system. The TRSS monitors the network activity and adjusts itself to the envi...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Ecological network analysis Extended exergy analysis Structure Utility Urban ecological economic system Analyzing the structure and functioning of the urban system revealed ways to optimize its structure by adjusting the relationships among compartments, thereby demonstrating how ecological network analysis can be used in urban system research. Based on the accou...

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact lowering speed limit on an urban transportation network. A microscopic traffic simulation model, Vissim was utilized measure impact. Also, various inputs were tested with different signal coordination scenarios investigate in conditions. It found that during early morning hours very light traffic, significant. During congested time periods, inc...

From our experiences in the past, we have seen that the growth of cities is very much dependent on the transportation networks. In mega cities, transportation networks determine to a significant extent as to where the people will move and houses will be built. Hence, transportation network data is crucial to an urban growth prediction system. Existing works have used manually derived distance b...

Around the world, particularly in North America and Australia, urban sprawl combined with low density suburban development has caused serious accessibility and mobility problems, especially for those who do not own a motor vehicle or have access to public transportation services. Sustainable urban and transportation development is seen crucial in solving transportation disadvantage problems in ...

Creating cities that promote sustainable lifestyles is a complex and far reaching process. One of the most important components of sustainability on an urban scale is the need for an efficient public transportation system, which provides enough convenience that, combined with walking, can be more desirable for residents to use over driving a car. Vehicular traffic congestion is one of the great...

This paper studies the cost control strategy on cash transportation of China's banking industry under the context of the global financial crisis. It analyses the actual work law of the bank cash transportation profoundly and the impact factors at the transportation costs, and constructs the singlematerial vehicle routing optimization model with rigid time constraints. It uses the genetic algori...

Transportation problems of large urban conurbations inspire search for new transportation systems, that meet high environmental standards, are relatively cheap and user friendly. The latter element also includes the needs of disabled and elderly people. This article concerns a new transportation system PRT - Personal Rapid Transit. In this article the attention is focused on the analysis of the...
