Analysis and prediction of network traffic has applications in wide comprehensive set of areas and has newly attracted significant number of studies. Different kinds of experiments are conducted and summarized to identify various problems in existing computer network applications. Network traffic analysis and prediction is a proactive approach to ensure secure, reliable and qualitative network ...

44 Attention to user behavior and preferences has been a helpful tool in improving road safety and 45 accident prevention in recent years. At the same time, there remain some important areas of road 46 safety and accident prevention for which user preferences have not been explored. For instance, 47 so far, road safety research has not addressed pedestrian and vulnerable user preferences with 4...

The present study provides an evaluation of road traffic noise pollution in the city of Amman and its effects on residents. Statistical noise index L10(18 hr) was measured at nine different sites throughout the city of Amman. The British Calculation of Road Traffic Noise (CRTN) method was used to predict noise levels at the chosen sites. The CRTN method proved to be successful in predicting noi...

To evaluate the layout adjustment scheme of bus line during subway construction, the method combining quantitative survey and fuzzy aggregation is used. One criterion is transit service level, which considered nonlinear coefficient, line length, transfer distance and average waiting time. Another criterion is traffic impact degree incorporating three factors: saturation degree on work-zone sect...

Urban Traffic Management (UTM) topics have been tackled since long time, mainly by civil engineers and by city planners. The introduction of new communication technologies — such as cellular systems, satellite positioning systems and inter-vehicle communications — has significantly changed the way researchers deal with UTM issues. In this survey, we provide a review and a classification of how ...

OBJECTIVE To compare information about traffic crash injuries and kilometers driven reported in a written questionnaire with information reported in a telephone interview. DESIGN Telephone and paper surveys. SETTING The Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra (SUN, University of Navarra Follow-up) study, in Spain. The SUN study is an open enrollment cohort study with 17 000 enrolled graduates fo...

Data from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, 2010-2011. In 2010-2011, the emergency department (ED) visit rate for motor vehicle traffic injuries was highest among persons aged 16-24 years. The rates declined with age after 16-24, with rates for those aged 0-15 similar to those 65 and over. The overall ED visit rate for motor vehicle traffic injuries was higher among non-Hisp...

Traffic engineering broadly relates to optimization of the operational performance of a network. This survey discusses techniques like multi-path routing, traffic splitting, constraint-based routing, path-protection etc. that are used for traffic engineering in contemporary Internet Service Provider (ISP) networks. These techniques can be classified under two broad classes, connectionless and c...
