Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOff-road Vehicle-Induced Substrate Vibrations Are Associated with Strong Declines in Ectomycorrhizal Mushroom Fruiting in Forest EcosystemsLev ShestakovWe conducted a multi-year (2020-2024) control-impact field study in a pine forest of the Moscow Region to assess whether off-road vehicle activity affects the fruiting of two ecologically important ectomycorrhizal fungi, Boletus edulis and Suillus luteus. Substrate vibrations associated with vehicle passage were recorded and characterized by dominant energy in the low-frequency range. Over the study period, abundance in disturbed … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 23 May 2026 · 1,305 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHydro-Mechanical Constraints and Deformations in Road Embankments Using Unsaturated Low-Swelling SoilSoumaïla Gandema, Marcel Bawindsom Kébré, Rimyalegdo Kiébré et al.In this paper, we present the results of a simulation of the evolution of stresses and deformations in a road embankment using unsaturated low-swelling soil under hydro-mechanical pressures, modeled with the finite element code Code_Bright. We assume that this embankment, which supports asphalt, follows the Barcelona Thermo-Elasto-Plastic model (BBM-TEP). This model describes the Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical (THM) behavior of unsaturated fine soils … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 16 Nov 2025 · 2,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComprehensive Assessment of Spatial Distribution of Road-Network Vulnerability in South AsiaPan Yuqi, Jiang Penghui, Li Manchun, Chen DengshuaiUnexpected phenomena-natural disasters, accidents and wars-can disrupt regional traffic systems because of the incapacities of road networks to sustain inflicted impacts. Therefore, the assessment of road-network vulnerability becomes integral to traffic-safety-maintenance and accident-prevention procedures. This study demonstrates the development of a comprehensive network system based on suggested improvements in node extraction, road construction and network attribution. An indicator system for … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 6 · 24 Dec 2021 · 6,446 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEmerging Technologies for Driving Road Safety and Traffic Management for Urban AreaYogesh Golhar, Manali KshirsagarThe on-road traffic increases due to the exponential growth of the number of vehicles on the road. That leads to undesirable road conditions and makes urban population life uncomfortable. It includes traffic congestion, traffic jams and long queues at traffic signals and toll booths. Many people violate road traffic rules and regulations rules every day. Manual human effort and supervision … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 17, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2021 · 6,444 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Reliability of Routing Protocols as an Important Factor for Road Safety Applications in VANET-based Autonomous CarsAnanto Tri Sasongko, Grafika Jati, Bob Hardian, Wisnu JatmikoThe autonomous cars are considered as a tremendous disruptive innovation in the coming years. They enable a driving automation system to replace human drivers to control the vehicle with better recognition, decision and driving skills and ultimately enhance the road users’ experience and traffic safety. They can communicate with other cars as they are ready with the Vehicle to Vehicle … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 6 · 15 Jun 2020 · 7,420 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComputer Vision for Vulnerable Road Users using Machine LearningDevi Chilukuri, Sun Yi, Younho SeongTransportation has become a very important component for all ages in today’s life. However, seniors often find difficulty in travelling by public transport or even by their own vehicles. Thus, they are considered as Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs). This research mainly concentrates on creating an application that helps the elderly mobile users in virtually screening of directions using GPS, tracking … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 11 Mar 2019 · 7,078 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRoad Safety When Drivers Use Alcohol and Marijuana: Confounded Poisson Distribution Helps to UnderstandRamalingam Shanmugam, Ram Tripathi, Karan SinghSelf-admitted users of alcohol and/or marijuana while driving haunt road safety regulating agencies in general and community groups such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in particular. Motivated by such data in a survey, by 6,612 drivers above 18 years old in USA during years 2013-2015, we thought of interpreting how the road safety is in the scenarios.

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOPTIMIZING MULTIPLE TRAVELLING SALESMAN PROBLEM CONSIDERING THE ROAD CAPACITYRanjana Ponraj, George AmalanathanThe Multiple Travelling Salesman Problems (MTSP) can be used in a wide range of discrete optimization problems. As the solution to this problem has wide applicability in many practical fields, this NP Hard problem highly raises the need for an efficient solution. The problem is determining a set of routes for the salesmen that jointly visit a set of given … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 23 Dec 2013 · 6,795 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDetermining Road Lighting Impact on Traffic Stream CharacteristicsBen-Edigbe Johnnie, Kurnia Yuli AstridThe study is aimed at estimating road lighting impact on traffic stream characteristics; flow, speed, density and headway for an uninterrupted traffic flow. Volume, speed and headway data were collected during daylight, road lighting and dry weather conditions. Flowrate, speed, density and headways were estimated for daylight and road lighting periods; then compared. Since flowrate, free-flow speed, optimum speed critical … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 2 Jul 2013 · 7,020 accessesView PDFCite
