IPTV over DSL access networks is becoming a reality. This paper studies the impact of the presence of a video-aware traffic management module in the access network on the performance of the video dejittering mechanism at the receiver. The presented numerical results illustrate that with the traffic management module, the packet loss probability at the dejittering buffer decreases. Since the tra...

Traffic congestion is one of the main concerns of big cities for traffic management. Among different dimensions that make a city smart, one of the very important is transportation. This paper offers an efficient information extraction approach from vehicle and pedestrian activity monitoring for traffic management in the smart city. The proposed approach is related to vehicle and pedestrian acti...

Traffic management is a business domain characterized by an infrastructure-dominant approach to new developments: the focus is typically on innovating assets such as traffic detection systems, road signage and traffic information systems. This domain also has a large number of involved stakeholders, such as road authorities, municipalities, technology providers and road users of various kinds. ...

Today’s air traffic management system is not expected to scale to the projected increase in traffic over the next two decades. Enhancing collaboration between the controllers and the users of the airspace could lessen the impact of the resulting air traffic flow problems. We summarize a new concept that has been proposed for collaborative air traffic flow management, the problems it is meant to...

Network traffic classification is extensively required mainly for many network management tasks such as flow prioritization, traffic shaping/policing, and diagnostic monitoring. Similar to network management tasks, many network engineering problems such as workload characterization and modeling, capacity planning, and route provisioning also benefit from accurate identification of network traff...

Traffic congestion is a major problem in urban areas that has a significant adverse economic impact through deterioration of mobility, safety and air quality. As a result, the importance of better management of the road network to efficiently utilize existing capacity is increasing. To that end, many urban areas build and operate modern Traffic Management Centers (TMCs), which perform several f...

In this paper we present the traffic management functions in Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks. In the first part of the paper commonly used traffic models for ATM traffic are discussed. Traffic management and its functions in the network are presented in the next part of the paper. Then connection admission control methods (CAC) as preventive traffic management mechanism are then prese...

Traditionally, models used in air traffic control and flow management are based on simulating the trajectories of individual aircraft. This approach results in models with a large number of states, which are intrinsically susceptible to errors and difficult for designing and implementing optimal strategies for traffic flow management. This paper outlines an innovative approach for the developme...
