This paper describes an application of Neural Networks in the development of a travel forecast model for transportation planning. The model intends to quantify trips within the urban area through the representation of the land use-transportation system interaction. The data to express such a complex interaction is mainly obtained from Remote Sensing images that are processed in a Geographical I...

Preventing crimes or terrorist attacks in urban areas is challenging. Law enforcement officers need to respond quickly to catch the attacker on his escape route, which is subject to time-dependent traffic conditions on transportation networks. The attacker can strategically choose his escape path and driving speed to avoid being captured. Existing work on security resource allocation has not co...

New approaches are required to analyse very large land-use transportation systems in which millions of people make millions of trips each day. New computer technology has enabled packages that model very large transportation systems. Some of these models are reviewed and it is concluded that the TRANSIMS system developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory has the best combination of desirable ch...

the intelligent transportation system (its) provides wireless and mobile communication between vehicles and infrastructure to improve the safety of transportation and make the journey more enjoyable. this system consists of many fixed and mobile nodes (vehicles, trains, vessels, air planes), wireless and wired telecommunication technologies to exchange information between mobile nodes or betwee...

guiding vehicles to their destination under dynamic traffic conditions is an important topic in the field of intelligent transportation systems (its). nowadays, many complex systems can be controlled by using multi agent systems. adaptation with the current condition is an important feature of the agents. in this research, formulation of dynamic guidance for vehicles has been investigated based...

In most of the developing countries, the metropolitan organizations do not assess the safety consequences of alternative transportation systems and one of the reasons is the lack of suitable methodology. The goal of this paper is to develop practical tools for assessing safety consequences of arterial roads in the context of long-term urban transportation plans in Dhaka city, the capital of Ban...
