Methods and results Child (aged <15 years) pedestrian death rates (ICD code E814-7) were calculated by using National Health Statistics Centre mortality data for 1967 to 1987. A traffic volume index, based on data from traffic counters on urban highways throughout New Zealand, and the number of registered vehicles were obtained from the Ministry of Transport. There was an annual average of 32 5...

Globalization has resulted in increases air transportation demand and passenger traffic. With the traffic, airports face challenges related to infrastructure, services, future development. Air traffic forecasting is essential ensuring appropriate investment airports. In this study, we combined fuzzy theory with support vector regression (SVR) develop a SVR (FSVR) model for international airport...

Analyses of benefits due to changes in the National Airspace System (NAS) tend to focus on the delay reduction (or similar metric) given a fixed traffic schedule. In this paper, we explore the use of simulation optimization to solve for the increased traffic volume that the proposed change can support given a constant delay. The increased traffic volume as a result of the change can therefore b...

Internet traffic has increased 5× in 5 years [4], much of it from high-volume services such as cloud storage and peerto-peer sharing, and from the explosion of streaming video. YouTube and Netflix alone combine to contribute nearly half of the traffic to North American Internet users [8]. This is driven by the fact that these services deliver high-volume traffic, and by the vast popularity of s...

Peering and transit are two types of Internet interconnection among ISPs. Peering has been a core concept to sustain Internet industry. However, for the past several years, many ISPs broke their peering arrangement because of asymmetric traffic pattern and asymmetric benefit and cost from the peering. Even though traffic flows are not a good indicator of the relative benefit of an Internet inte...
