Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPotential Contribution of Traffic to Air Pollution in the State of KuwaitN. Al-Mutairi, P. KoushkiProblem statement: The reduction in ambient air pollution is a universal goal-particularly in urban areas, the lack of resources often necessitates identification and prioritization of sources of air pollutants. Efficient planning and effective management of environmental pollutants is thus important for optimum utilization of limited resources. Approach: This study examined seven years of data from three air pollution monitoring stations … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,283 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPredicting Packet Transmission Data over IP Networks Using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference SystemsSamira Chabaa, Abdelouhab ZeroualProblem statement: The statistical modeling for predicting network traffic has now become a major tool used for network and is of significant interest in many domains: Adaptive application, congestion and admission control, wireless, network management and network anomalies. To comprehend the properties of IP-network traffic and system conditions, many kinds of reports based on measured network traffic data have been … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,535 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTraffic Signal Using Smart Agent SystemCheonshik Kim, You-Sik HongIn this research, we propose an electro-sensitive traffic light using the smart agent algorithm to reduce traffic congestion and traffic accidents. The multi-agent system approach can provide a new and preferable solution. The proposed method adaptively controls the cycle of traffic signals even though the traffic volume varies. Consequently, we reduce the car waiting time and start-up delay time using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,958 accessesView PDFCite
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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimation of Vehicle Flows and Emissions for Various Scenarios of Street Network Modifications in Mexico CityAngelica Lozano, Francisco Granados, Juan Pablo AntunWe estimate flows and emissions (NOx, HC, CO) generated by vehicles circulating on the main streets of the Mexico City Metropolitan Area. The estimation is made for various scenarios, which include a set of changes to the street network for current and future horizons. These changes encompass the construction of new arcs or improvement of existing arcs. Network flows are … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,215 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRoad Transport Congestion Costs Calculations Adaptation to Engineering ApproachMarjan Lep, Beno MesarecThe article represents so called "engineering" approach for computing the total road transport congestion costs. According to economic welfare theory, the total costs of transport congestion are defined as dead weight loss (DWL) of infrastructure use. With a set of equations DWL could be formulated in a mathematical way. Because such form of equation is not directly applicable for concrete … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2008 · 6,817 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStochastic Estimator-Based Wireless Traffic Control SchemesFrancis Joseph Ogwu, Mohammad Talib, Ganiyu Adesola AderounmuRecent works on Available Bit Rate (ABR) traffic control have generated efficient control schemes for ABR traffic on Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network. This study examines the improved performance envisaged if these control schemes adjust dynamically to the varying ABR bandwidth capacity in a stochastic manner instead of conventional deterministic approach .The performance difference between setting explicit rate deterministically for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,102 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWhy Do People Use Their Cars: A Case Study In MalaysiaAbdalla Nurdeen Kamba, Riza Atiq O.K. Rahmat, Amiruddin IsmailIn Malaysia, the rapid increase in the use of own transport prompted by inadequate public transport has resulted in increased traffic congestion, accidents, inadequate parking space and air pollution among other evils. This study sought to identify the factors preventing own transport users from shifting to public transport and to develop model shift from car to public transport in order … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 9,186 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Traffic Flow and Management at Un-signalized, Signalized and Roundabout Road IntersectionsR. Kakooza, L.S. Luboobi, J.Y.T. MugishaTraffic congestion continues to hinder economic and social development and also has a negative impact on the environment. A simple mathematical model is used to analyze the different types of road intersections in terms of their Performance in relation to managing traffic congestion and to establish the condition for stability of the road intersections after sufficiently longer periods of time … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,618 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproved Steering and Adaptive Cruise Control for Autonomous Vehicles Using Model Predictive ControlSai Charan Dekkata, Sun YiThe research on autonomous vehicles was started nearly a century ago but the major parts of significant advance have been done over the past few decades. In this paper, designing and simulating of a Model Predictive Controller (MPC) and comparing it to a classical feedback controller, which was designed and implemented on a car for Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) and … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 26 Jun 2019 · 8,027 accessesView PDFCite
