-Use of existing popular technologies for traffic congestion detection and management has been explored by several researchers in recent times. However, most of the works either deal with congestion detection strategies or address the issue of congestion control through signal manipulation or other aids. To the best of our knowledge, no effort has been made so far to develop a comprehensive sys...

Wireless sensor network is an event based system with several sensor nodes. Reliable data transfer at the sink is based on collective information provided by sensor nodes. However, due to the unreliable wireless communication nature, it is hard to guarantee the end-to-end reliability and timeliness. Hence, we propose a congestion prediction model that ensures the reliable delivery of packets to...

User reaction to traffic congestion can have severe impact on network stability and significant implication for traffic engineering. For example, users who persist in large peer-to-peer transfers despite congestion can drive the network into congestion collapse. On the other hand, users who abort large transfers can smoothen self-similar traffic. We present a tool, called SAX, for studying cong...

The IETF’s standard congestion control schemes have been widely shown to be inadequate for various environments (e.g., high-speed networks). Recent research has yielded many alternate congestion control schemes that significantly differ from the IETF’s congestion control principles. Using these new congestion control schemes in the global Internet has possible ramifications to both the traffic ...

Traffic congestion and road accidents are two external costs of transport and the reduction of their impacts is often one of the primary objectives for transport policy makers. The relationship between traffic congestion and road accidents however is not apparent and less studied. It is speculated that there may be an inverse relationship between traffic congestion and road accidents, and as su...
