The process of urbanization of coastal tourist destinations (CTDs) is taking place at high speed and at the same time creating a lot of complex problems. The positive trend of urbanization has resulted in increased volume of freight transport which leads to burdening the traffic network, time losses and causes traffic congestion problems on the streets with increased environmental pollution due...

BACKGROUND Regular physical activity can help prevent chronic diseases, yet only half of US adults meet national physical activity guidelines. One barrier to physical activity is a lack of safe places to be active, such as bike paths and sidewalks. Complete Streets, streets designed to enable safe access for all users, can help provide safe places for activity. COMMUNITY CONTEXT This communit...

The R & D activities to realize systems which provide road traffic information and route guidance have been conducted as core systems of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). However, the implementation of these systems will have less effect on freight transport unless logistics operation is rationalized in parallel to the development of ITS. On the other hand, according to the expansion of inte...

F the early 1900s to the late 1940s, road networks in South Australia were developed on the rectangular grid system as an extension to the original planning of early towns and villages. With the advent of the automobile and sealed pavements, most local government authorities constructed a sealed central strip approximately 6 meters wide with wide footpaths and verges around existing street tree...

O of the most successful transportation systems management (TSM) actions in recent years has been the priority treatment of high-occupancy vehicles (HOVS), The priority treatments typically have been either the provision of dedicated through-travel lanes or queue bypass lanes at roadway capacity restrictions. Through the use of priority measures, HOVS (buses, vanpools and carpools) are given tw...

during the last years, the concept of input congestion and technical ineff-ciency in data envelopment analysis (dea), have been investigated by manyresearchers. the motivation of this paper is to present models which obtain thedecreased output value due to input congestion and technical ineciency. more-over, we extend the models to estimate input congestion, technical ineciencyand output red...

Every day a significant percentage of drivers in single-occupancy vehicles search for a parking space. Additionally, less experienced drivers or out-of-towners further contribute to the increase of traffic congestion. The type of the planned activity, time of a day, day of the week, current congestion of particular routes, knowledge of city streets, and potentially available parking places have...

Under present-day practices, the vehicles on our roadways and city streets are mere spectators that witness traffic-related events without being able to participate in mitigation of their effect. This paper lays theoretical foundations a framework for harnessing on-board computational resources stuck urban congestion order assist transportation agencies with preventing or dissipating through la...

Background: Ciclovias, known in the U.S. as open streets initiatives, close streets to vehicles to increase open space and physical activity opportunities for local communities. In San Francisco, California, the open streets initiative known as Sunday Streets, was founded in 2008 to promote bicycle use in neighborhoods most underserved for recreational resources and experiencing higher than ave...

Road congestion is a serious problem both in terms of costs and time wasted. State of the art traffic management techniques such as traffic light synchronization, dynamic message signs and traffic management decisions are based on vehicle counts at streets and intersections. Vehicular networks could radically transform traffic systems. A peer to peer vehicular network can enable cars to prevent...
