چکیده

Much research has been conducted on trying to solve traffic problems and applied successfully in many developed countries where the car is the main transport mode. However, it has not been effective in most developing countries where the motorbike, rather than the car, is the main transport vehicle. This paper estimates the passenger car equivalent of motorbikes under simulation analysis. Simulation scenarios are constructed and run, and the results are analyzed to determine that factor. The research shows that the passenger car equivalent of motorbikes depends on traffic conditions. The factor is expected as a useful parameter when applying traffic research in developing countries.

Finite element analysis of fatigue damage in passenger-car diesel engine cylinder head under cyclic thermo-mechanical loadings

In this article, the thermo-mechanical fatigue lifetime of the cylinder head of a passenger-car diesel engine has been estimated. At the first stage, stress and strain distributions in the cylinder head have been calculated using the two-layer visco-plastic model, available in the ABAQUS software. The calibration of the model was performed, using correlating of simulated hysteresis curves and l...

Effects of Rickshaws and Auto-rickshaws on the Capacity of Urban Signalized Intersections

Non-motorized vehicles (i.e. rickshaws) and small size motorized vehicles (i.e. auto-rickshaws) are popular para-transit modes that provided door-to-door service in congested parts of Dhaka metropolitan area. Improper design of signal timing at signalized intersections is one of the reasons of traffic congestion in Dhaka metropolitan area. For capacity analysis, to convert the mixed traffic flo...
