Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Traffic Light Sequence Algorithm Using RFIDKhalid A.S. Al-Khateeb, Jaiz A.Y. Johari, Wajdi F. Al-KhateebProblem statement: Traffic congestion and tidal flow management were recognized as major problems in modern urban areas, which have caused much frustration and loss of man hours. Approach: In order to solve the problem an intelligent RFID traffic control has been developed. It has circumvented or avoided the problems that usually arise with systems such as those, which use image … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 21,778 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Engineer's Mathematical Approach to Designing an Emergency Room Decontamination Area for Weapons of Mass Destruction CasualtiesEldo E. Frezza, Erica Fletcher, Veronica Flores et al.This study will focus on the potential requirements for an emergency response facility in case of weapons of mass destruction casualties proposing mathematical models. A complete emergency room layout will be designed taking the following analyses and requirements into consideration: quality function development (QFD) and product layout; average number of patients in the system, average time in the system, average … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,433 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDetermining the Impact of Darkness on Highway Traffic Shockwave PropagationParameswary Sundara, Othman Che Puan, Mohammad Rosli HaininDuring darkness visibility diminishes resulting in reduced sight distances and drivers are subjected to anxiety that may give way to anger and frustration. However, the study is concerned with traffic shockwave propagation that could be associated with darkness on highways. Based on the hypothesis that darkness may induce temporary traffic shockwave propagation in the presence of substantial traffic volume, darkness … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 7,076 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordScheduling of Automated Guided Vehicle and Flexible Jobshop using Jumping Genes Genetic AlgorithmP. Paul Pandian, S. Saravana Sankar, S. G. Ponnambalam, M. Victor RajProblem statement: Now a day’s many researchers try Genetic algorithm based optimization to find near optimal solution for flexible job shop. It is a global search. In Our study in the GA, some changes are made to search locally and globally by adding jumping genes operation. A typical flexible job shop model is considered for this research study. For that … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 25 Aug 2012 · 7,311 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIntelligent Model for Traffic Safety ApplicationsG. Nagappan, C. ChellappanProblem statement: This study presents an analysis on road traffic system focused on the use of communications to detect dangerous vehicles on roads and highways and how it could be used to enhance driver safety. Approach: The intelligent traffic safety application model is based on all traffic flow theories developed in the last years, leading to reliable representations of road … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 14 Jan 2012 · 6,727 accessesView PDF Cite
