Traffic problems are the most prominent urban dilemmas, especially during recent years, since the capacity of old traffic arteries don’t meet the increasing volume of population and vehicles, therefore, adopting some measures in order to enhance the capacity of existing roads has been placed on the agenda of urban managers. Changing the existing intersections to over changes is one of these met...

Abstract In some regions of the world, large carnivores, such as wolves, persist in landscapes with dense networks paved roads. However, beyond general impacts roads on wildlife, we still lack information carnivore responses to different types and traffic volume levels. Using wolves NW Spain a case study, show how respond differently road classes depending size, speed limit volume. All evaluate...

Adaptive bitrate (ABR) streaming services have spread with advances in the codec, video streaming, and network technologies. For smooth playback ABR services, a player runs an algorithm, which dynamically adjusts of data on basis statuses player. Existing algorithms calculate suitable to maximize quality experience (QoE). However, providing high-QoE increases investment costs content delivery (...

An important factor in evaluating health risk of near-road air pollution is to accurately estimate the traffic-related vehicle emission of air pollutants. Inclusion of traffic parameters such as road length/area, distance to roads, and traffic volume/intensity into models such as land use regression (LUR) models has improved exposure estimation. To better understand the relationship between veh...

Traffic congestion is one of the foremost problems confronted by the urban and suburban tenants of today. Traffic congestion increases vehicle emissions and degrades air quality. Urban planners and policy makers have consequently been always investigating choices to alleviate traffic congestion and to enhance air quality. Teleworking is one option that has received significant consideration and...

Much of the traffic carried by Sensor Networks will originate from routine measurements or observations by sensors which monitor a particular situation, such as the temperature and humidity in a room or the infrared observation of the perimeter of a house, so that the volume of routine traffic resulting from such observations may be quite high. When important and unusual events occur, such as a...

To alleviate traffic congestion in urban areas, electronic toll collection (ETC) systems are deployed all over the world. Despite the merits, tolls are usually pre-determined and fixed from day to day, which fail to consider traffic dynamics and thus have limited regulation effect when traffic conditions are abnormal. In this paper, we propose a novel dynamic ETC (DyETC) scheme which adjusts to...
