An ATM technology realizes B-ISDN by asynchronously treating various multimedia information such as data, voice and video. In ATM networks, traffic management is an important issue to utilize network resources efficiently, and ABR traffic is indispensable for data communication and most of existing applications. Rate-based congestion control is a promising scheme to incorporate ABR traffic into...

In 2012, a survey was carried out in 8 French cities to study noise annoyance due to combined transportation noise sources. Both partial and total annoyances were measured. The current paper will first focus on partial noise annoyance due to railway traffic measured in 6 French cities. In order to predict annoyance due to single transportation noise sources, the European Commission recommends t...

The connection between traffic congestion and regional demand has become a consensus. A reasonable road network inflow control is essential to prevent the occurrence of congestion. With a consideration of deployment of detectors, an improved macroscopic fundamental diagram-based traffic volume dynamic control method via the feedback control is proposed in this study. Based on OD distribution of...

As freeway traffic is increasing in exponential rate day by day need an correct and practical methods to model and control the traffic flow.A cellular Automata (CA) is a system of finite automata that provide a discrete computational model to under the complex behaviour system. This article provides a survey on how researchers can use Cellular Automata to control the traffic on highway includin...

BACKGROUND Surveys are a common way to measure annoyance due to road traffic noise, but the method has some draw-backs. Survey context, question wording and answer alternatives could affect participation and answers and could have implications when comparing studies and/or performing pooled analyses. The aim of this study was to investigate the difference in annoyance reporting due to road traf...

Drivers in urban neighborhoods who cruise streets, seeking inexpensive on-street parking create a significant fraction of measured traffic congestion. The solution to this problem is to reduce the total traffic volume including cruising traffic by implementing a congestion pricing scheme: the imposition of a usage fee on a limited-capacity resource during times of high demand. We review the his...

Drowsiness is thought as crucial risk factor which may result in severer traffic accidents. Recently driver’s psychosomatic state adaptive driving support safety function has been highlighted to further reduce the number of traffic accidents. Consequently, reduction effect of psychosomatic adaptive safety function should be clarified to foster its penetration into commercial market. This resear...

this paper investigates the relationship between the lagos megacity and ota township, a small township onits periphery. the study examines linkages between and lagos in terms of growth, urban development as well as mobility. 553 questionnaires were administered to household heads across the 12 residential districts of ota township. survey was carried out by systematic random sampling. classifie...

road traffic accidents represent the important health threat to children in developing countries. post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) can occur as result of road traffic accidents. in this regard, people under 30 years old are the main victims of road traffic accidents. during previous decades road accident consequences for mental state or other aspects of life was neglected. survey proposed ...
