The number of registered vehicles in the Russian Federation is increasing every year, and traffic flows cities consist mainly cars. car fleet has undergone significant changes recent decades. In particular, passenger vehicles, their power design parameters are improving year. These affect system process movement cars flow. This article defines that functioning urban and, a mathematical way, on ...

The European Yearbook of Constitutional Law (EYCL) is an annual publication devoted to the study constitutional law. It aims provide a forum for in-depth analysis and discussion new developments in field, both Europe beyond. This second volume examines positioning cities across space time. Unrelenting urbanisation means that most people are, or soon will be, living city administrations becom...

The main aim of this paper is to offer a constructive critique of the dominant (indeed hegemonic) global city/world city discourse. This is a discourse that is overly dependent upon a theoretically globalist perspective derived out of limited empirical studies. Moreover, this is a discourse that focuses relatively too much upon (a) the characteristics of global/world cities and (b) the processe...

Taniguchi defines City Logistics as “the process of totally optimising the logistics and transport activities by private companies in urban areas while considering the traffic environment, traffic congestion and energy consumption within the framework of a market economy”. The distribution of goods based on road services in urban areas contribute to traffic congestion, generates environmental i...

Lie detection procedures typically aim at determining the guilt or innocence of a single suspect. The Concealed Information Test (CIT), for example, has been shown to be highly successful in detecting the presence or absence of crime-related information in a suspect's memory. Many of today's security threats, however, do not come from individuals, but from organized groups such as criminal orga...

Despite the impressive growth of smart city initiatives worldwide, an organizational theory of smart city has yet to be developed, and we lack models addressing the unprecedented organizational and management challenges that emerge in smart city contexts. Traditional models are often of little use, because smart cities pursue different goals than traditional organizations, are based on networke...

Routing in infrastructure less vehicular ad hoc networks is challenging because of the dynamic network, predictable topology, high speed of nodes, and predictable mobility patterns. This paper presents an enhanced routing protocol specifically designed for city environments. It uses vehicular speed and directional density for dynamic junction selection. Simulation results exhibit increased pack...

The problem of finding parking spaces in big urban areas is one of the unsolved challenges of Smart Cities causing traffic congestion, increased carbon emission and time wasting. Network and sensor technologies available today allow to foresee Smart Cities equipped with applications able to provide real-time information on parking space availability, which can be used to assist motorists in loo...

A solution of the optimization garbage removal problem in the large cities is suggested. In this paper there is described a system architecture to find time-optimal dynamic route for garbage trucks within “Smart Clean City” project which unites an approach to put special electronic devices on the garbage containers with the developed software responsible for the detecting the filled up containe...
