چکیده
Abstract: There is a continuing determination by academics and road professionals alike to investigate the most appropriate methods for identifying road accident hotspots particularly in urban areas. Increasingly this research has involved the use of GIS and spatial analysis in order to define both visually and statistically what can be defined as a road accident hotspot. Traditional methods of hotspot detection by road professionals have included comparing count data at different locations and rating the areas by severity. However the increase use of GIS has lead to academics using sophisticated methods to quantify hotspots. There is, however, no universal definition of a road accident hotspot which means that the definition of a hotspot is open to much speculation. This paper seeks to investigate the merits of three different spatial techniques for quantifying road accident hotspots. Kernel density estimation, network analysis and area wide analysis are used to demonstrate three methods. The methods are then reviewed. There is however an exhaustive list of hotspot detection techniques, not all of which can be outlined in this paper.

GENERAL SYNCHRONIZATION OF COUPLED PAIR OF CHAOTIC ONE-DIMENSIONAL GAUSSIAN MAPS
In this paper we review some recent ideas of synchronization theory. We apply this theory to study the different synchronization aspects of uni-directionally coupled pair of chaotic one-dimensional Gaussian maps.

متن کاملA class of certain properties of approximately n-multiplicative maps between locally multiplicatively convex algebras
We extend the notion of approximately multiplicative to approximately n-multiplicative maps between locally multiplicatively convex algebras and study some properties of these maps. We prove that every approximately n-multiplicative linear functional on a functionally continuous locally multiplicatively convex algebra is continuous. We also study the relationship between approximately mu...
متن کاملDirectional Stroke Width Transform to Separate Text and Graphics in City Maps
One of the complex documents in the real world is city maps. In these kinds of maps, text labels overlap by graphics with having a variety of fonts and styles in different orientations. Usually, text and graphic colour is not predefined due to various map publishers. In most city maps, text and graphic lines form a single connected component. Moreover, the common regions of text and graphic lin...
