The Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is an emerging new technology. Developing multi-hop routing protocols for urban VANETs is a challenging task. VANET is one of the influencing areas for the improvement of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) in order to provide safety and comfort to the road users. Besides safety applications VANET also provide comfort applications to the road users. Auto...

the police are competent and always present contact persons who have direct knowledge and experience and act as role models in the area of road traffic. one of the focuses of police work is to increase tolerance and consideration, especially for more vulnerable road users. the priorities of the police are geared at emphasizing how relevant and appropriate the decisions made by road traffic auth...

Road classification systems are the basis for defining function and, in turn, the design criteria for the world’s street networks. The traditional classification systems have been based on the mobility and access functions of roads for motor vehicle traffic. Other road users and road uses have been largely ignored in this important step of the road design process. This article describes alterna...

The content of this paper is about a model to simulate weekly activity plans of road users and to find out under which conditions changes of activity patterns occur. In the focus of interest is the sensitivity of activity patterns to budget constraints. The budgets of road users are time and cost budgets for mobility. A scheduling approach considering budgets is used to simulate weekly activity...

At Lund University an automated video analysis system is being developed that can be applied for studying the behaviour of road users in complex traffic environments. It is stressed that system must be capable of handling all the categories of road users, i.e. vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. Common problems like detection and tracking of moving objects, occlusion by foreground objects, grou...

BACKGROUND Currently Road Traffic Accidents (RTA) are ranked tenth among the leading causes of death and ninth among all leading causes of disability worldwide. There has been no published study on RTA in Gulu municipality. There is a high frequency of RTA in Gulu municipality with poor road design and inadequate knowledge on road safety precaution among road users. OBJECTIVES To establish th...

s a major public health problem, road traffic injuries (RTIs) affect all social groups of the society.1 Every year, around 1.3 million people die and 20-50 million people get injured or disabled as a result of the RTIs worldwide.2 The figure of RTIs is more alarming in low and middle-income countries (LMICs).1-2 RTIs in Iran are very important public health problems in the whole country.3-6 Whe...

Railway level crossings (LC) are the interface between roads and railway tracks, and as such are the potential site for vehicletrain collisions and incidents. About 95 % of accidents are caused by road users‟ misuse. Behavioural science is an academic and applied discipline involving the scientific study of mental process and behaviour. There is currently considerable interest being taken to be...
