Future changes (2015–2100) in precipitation and meteorological droughts Lake Urmia Basin were investigated using an average mean ensemble of eight general circulation models (GCMs) with high-resolution datasets socioeconomic pathway scenarios (SSPs) from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). In order to project drought, standardized index (SPI) was calculated. Overall, results reve...

automatic road extraction from aerial images can be very helpful in traffic control and vehicle guidance systems. most of the road detection approaches are based on image segmentation algorithms. color-based segmentation is very sensitive to light changes and consequently the change of weather condition affects the recognition rate of road detection systems. in order to reduce the light change ...

road transportation by way of automobiles is a very convenient means of transportation. today, the most detrimental consequence of developing transportation systems in a country is traffic accident that places a huge financial burden on society. this paper investigates the role of information systems in transportation safety that leads to improved planning and operation of the transportation sy...

In this paper a robust road departure avoidance system based on a closed-loop driver decision estimator (DDE) is presented. The main idea is that of incorporating the driver intent in the control of the vehicle. The driver decision estimator computes the vehicle look ahead lateral position based on the driver input and uses this position to establish the risk of road departure. To induce a risk...

to cope with the urban congestion problem resulted from rapid urbanization some cities are successfully using electronic road pricing policy as a demand management measure. in 1982, hong kong governmenttook initiative to experiment electronic road pricing in hong kong. though, the project outcome reveals that electronic road pricing could bring tremendous economic, social and environmental bene...
