of Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of the University of Florida in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy PRIVACY-PRESERVING TRANSPORTATION TRAFFIC MEASUREMENT IN INTELLIGENT CYBER-PHYSICAL ROAD SYSTEMS By Yian Zhou December 2015 Chair: Shigang Chen Major: Computer Engineering Traffic volume measurement is critical in transportation engineer...

The Road Management Systems (and the PMS) usually do not take into consideration the future traffic change. The maintenance and rehabilitation actions and the development of the road network structure and the changing traffic structure modify the amount of the traffic on the road section. The deterioration process depends on mostly the volume of the traffic. That is why it is important to take ...

background: to reduce traffic injuries in the country, health professionals should have accurate estimates of road traffic deaths. multiple and sometimes inconsistent statistics presented by organizations in charge create high degree of uncertainty for planners and decision makers. to achieve an accurate estimate, several methods are available. of them, capture-recapture method seems to be an a...

When the degree of saturation at intersection approaches one, Webster’s optimum cycle length equation becomes inapplicable, because the cycle length will becomes very big when the degree of saturation approaches one and will be fully unrealistic when the degree of saturation becomes greater than one. This is not a problem for HCM2000 method. But optimum cycle length calculation in this method h...

Telecommunications networks have become an important social infrastructure, and their robustness is considered to be a matter of social significance. Conventional network planning methods are generally based on the maximum volume of ordinary traffic and only assume explicitly specified failure scenarios. Therefore, present networks have marginal survivability against multiple failures induced b...

Traffic calming is introduced to minimise the negative results of motor vehicle use, for example, low safety level or quality life, high noise and pollution. It can be implemented through introduction road infrastructure reducing velocity traffic volume. In this paper, we studied how traffic-calming influences assignment. For research, a measure speed cushions on Stachiewicza street in Krakow w...

OBJECTIVE To assess the association between indicators of exposure to motor vehicle-related air pollution and cardiovascular mortality in male adults. METHODS Information on roads and traffic volume for the year 2007 in the city of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil, was obtained from the local Traffic Engineering Division. Data on mortality from cardiovascular diseases among men aged >40 years i...

With the rise of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing applications there has been an increasing interest in understanding the popularity and use of P2P. In this study, we look at P2P use on the University of Southern California’s campus network throughout a 14-hour period. We quantify the volume of traffic from P2P activity as well as the number of campus hosts involved in P2P at USC. Since port-mat...
