traffic police effectiveness and efficiency evaluations, an overview of methodological considerations

IP Traffic Monitoring: An Overview and Future Considerations

An overview on emerging IP traffic monitoring is presented. Important parameters to characterize the traffic, network and QoS, are discussed. The infrastructure and methodology to measure those parameters directly or to compute them based on other measurements are described. We also present a discourse on coping with the challenge of new transport architectures and technologies. In summary, a f...

Methodological Considerations in Cost-Effectiveness Analysis

In decision making regarding optimal resource allocation to safeguard public health, policymakers and healthcare providers rely on the availability and reliability of data about the relative costs and benefits of competing treatment options. One such an approach is based on cost effectiveness analysis (CEA) which is intended to be used as a combined metric of both the costs and health outcomes ...

Location-allocation of traffic police patrols in the suburban network

Nowadays, due to population increase and expansion of the transportation networks, the monitoring of this network, control, and prevention of accidents and crimes are very important. The main tasks of traffic patrols, like other emergency-security facilities, are the monitoring and prevention of crime as well as handling and fining in the case of committing crimes. Traffic patrols should be pre...

Cooling interventions for athletes: An overview of effectiveness, physiological mechanisms, and practical considerations

Exercise-induced increases in core body temperature could negative impact performance and may lead to development of heat-related illnesses. The use of cooling techniques prior (pre-cooling), during (per-cooling) or directly after (post-cooling) exercise may limit the increase in core body temperature and therefore improve exercise performance. The aim of the present review is to provide a comp...
