This paper proposes a modeling of expected link delay (i.e., data delivery delay) on a two-way road segment for carry-and-forward data delivery schemes in vehicular networks. Recently, a lot of vehicles can communicate with each other by dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) for vehicular networking. In the near future, more vehicles will be equipped with DSRC devices because of governmen...

Vehicular exhaust mainly consisting particulate matter sometimes called black carbon pollution is a mixture of solid and liquid components that form tiny particles that float in the air as a result of combustion of fuel. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of respirable suspended particulate matter (RSPM/PM10) on the automated count (WBC, TLC, DLC, ESR) and lipid profile (S. Cholest...

The existence of Internet-connected navigation and infotainment systems is becoming a truth that will easily lead to a remarkable growth in bandwidth demand by in-vehicle users. This content downloading system will induce the vehicular user to use the resource to the same extent as today’s mobile customers. By this approach communication-enabled vehicles are paying attention in downloading diff...

Component-Based Software Engineering has been recognized as an effective practice for dealing with the increasing complexity of the software for vehicular embedded systems. Despite the advantages it has introduced in terms of reasoning, design and reusability, the software development for vehicular embedded systems is still hampered by constellations of different processes, file formats and too...

Traffic policemen working in the busy traffic signal areas get exposed to the vehicular emissions for years together. The fumes, chemicals and particles present in the emission are reported to be damaging to the lung functions of these individuals. Since there were no data available on the PFT parameters of traffic police personnel of Pondicherry, this study was taken up to assess the effect of...

AIMS Evaluating the effects of air pollution on Sao Paulo city's vehicular traffic controllers by means of risk indicators for cardiovascular diseases. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-four hour blood pressure recordings and an electrocardiogram were obtained in 48 healthy, non-smoking vehicular traffic controllers, aged 31-55 years, during three periods: winter 2000, summer 2001, and winter 2001. ...

Air pollution is a primary global concern due to its adverse effects on human health and the environment. Accurate air measurement crucial for developing effective control strategies evaluating their impact. In Astana, vehicular emissions are recognized as significant contributor pollution. This study aims determine reliability of data in Astana by examining impact quality establish accuracy me...
