Software-Defined Networking (SDN) allows to control the available network resources by an intelligent and centralized authority in order to optimize traffic flows in a flexible manner. However, centralized control may face scalability issues when the network size or the number of traffic flows increases. Also, a centralized controller may form a single point of failure, thereby affecting the ne...

For the past few years, phenomena such as traffic congestion and traffic accidents in big cities have occurred one after another, greatly and adversely affecting the people’s lives. Intelligent transportation system is perceived as an optimum solution to solve this question. This paper delves into several common route guidance algorithms, analyzes respective characteristics, improves and parall...

INTRODUCTION The personality trait resiliency is the ability to flexibly adapt impulse control relative to contextual demand. Low resiliency has been linked to later alcohol/drug problems. The underlying psychological and neural mechanisms are unknown, but neurocomputational models suggested relations between resiliency and working memory. Cortical-striatal connectivity has been proposed to und...

using a hierarchical hybrid fuzzy model, this paper presents an intelligent system to manage the traffic of ambulances and the vehicles for transporting blood and blood products and generally the transportation related to health emergencies. the transportation of emergency patients, emergency accidents and health-related emergencies, and the transportation of blood and blood products should be ...

Safety risk study on road transportation of hazardous chemicals is a reliable basis for the government to formulate transportation planning and preparing emergent schemes, but also is an important reference for safety risk managers to carry out dangerous chemicals safety risk managers. Based on the analysis of the transport safety risk of dangerous chemicals at home and abroad, this paper studi...

 Abstract: The shipments of hazardous materials (HAZMATs) induce various risks to the road network. Today, one of the major considerations of transportation system managers is HAZMATs shipments, due to the increasing demand of these goods (because it is more used in industry, agriculture, medicine, etc.), and the rising number of incidents that are associated to hazardous materials. This paper ...

The Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred on March 11, 2011 caused disruptions to transportation network such as roads and railways. In general, transportation network disruptions make distribution of relief goods difficult and are considered to have negative impact on the economy of the stricken region owing to a decrease in transportation accessibility. Focusing on Iwate Prefecture, which...
