Pavement maintenance and rehabilitation have been neglected in Nigeria for a very long time and has resulted to maintenance backlog. Design agencies in Nigeria still use California Bearing Ratio (CBR), even though the method is outdated. An introduction of Dynamic Cone Penetration Test (DCPT) was pertinent, even though the method is relatively old in some developed countries, it has not gain mu...

Based on the analysis for the present research on controlling urban trunk road, a intelligent control method for urban trunk road based on wireless sensor and fuzzy neural network was proposed. In this method, we took two layers of WSN structure. The first one was data collecting layer, which consisted of traffic information collecting nodes and sink nodes. Data collecting layer was responsible...

Road traffic emits a cocktail of pollutants that can influence the vegetation and plant diversity in neighboring areas. However, the recovery potential of bryophytes after traffic abandonment is still little explored. In addition, the effects of the main pollutants of road verges, such as metals and salinity, on moss flora need to be investigated. In our study, we compared the moss richness and...

With the growth of urban road traffic volume and the increase of road network density, correlation between adjacent road intersections is becoming more and more obvious. An intersection traffic signal adjustment tends to affect the smooth traffic flow of a number of adjacent intersections. Its congestion may gradually spread to a few blocks and regions all around the intersection. Therefore, in...
