In this paper, we take the urban road network as the object, a further study on the method of traffic signal self organization under the condition of traffic state identification and local congestion. In the urban road traffic state identification study, according to the need of traffic signal control, respectively from qualitative and quantitative point of view, the urban road traffic state is...

Localization is crucial for the monitoring applications of cities, such as road monitoring, environment surveillance, vehicle tracking, etc. In urban road sensor networks, sensors are often sparely deployed due to the hardware cost. Under this sparse deployment, sensors cannot communicate with each other via ranging hardware or one-hop connectivity, rendering the existing localization solutions...

BACKGROUND The relationship between traffic emissions and mobile-source air pollutant concentrations is highly variable over space and time and therefore difficult to model accurately, especially in urban settings with complex terrain. Regression-based approaches using continuous real-time mobile measurements may be able to characterize spatiotemporal variability in traffic-related pollutant co...

Abstract This article analyses the most recent studies on urban traffic noise. About 67 relevant articles road noise and its mitigation strategies were preferred for a critical review. Only 5.97% of items describe how to monitor record measurement roads, while 7.46% enumerated pollution exposure. 29.85% proposed model evaluate reduction effects predict level. Also, many reported map generation ...

background : road runoff is a linear diffuse source of pollution, with very specific pollutant characteristics and ability to discharge into the environment. heavy metal pollution in road runoff has caused widespread concern since the last century. therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess fe, pb, and cd concentrations in surface runoff from regions with high traffic intensity in the c...

With the growing number of vehicles and users, monitoring road and traffic within cities is becoming a huge research challenge. With the urban scale enlargement coupled with the exponential growth in the number of vehicles, South Africa (SA) is not an exception. Consequently, congestion and pollution (i.e. noise and air) have become the order of the day. Road congestion and traffic-related poll...

Climate is usually defined as the average of the atmospheric conditions over both an extended period of time and a large region. Small scale patterns of climate resulting from the combined influence of topography, urban buildings structure, watercourses, vegetation, are known as microclimates, which refers to a specific site or location. The microclimate scale may be at the level of a settlemen...

The work reported here presents a methodology based on a two-fluid model to assess the degree of influence of various geometric and control features of an urban network on the quality of traffic service. The two-fluid model gives a curvilinear relation between the trip time and stop time per unit distance and its parameters characterize the quality of traffic service in urban networks. Any Chan...

Nowadays the active traffic management is enabled for better performance due to the nature of the real-time large data in transportation system. With the advancement of large data, monitoring and improving the traffic safety transformed into necessity in the form of actively and appropriately. Per-formance efficiency and traffic safety are considered as an im-portant element in measuring the pe...
