Background: The high number of road accidents and fatalities make it necessary to select and develop relief and rescue road bases more than ever. Several factors are involved in the selection of relief and rescue bases which is not possible to analysis all aspects with traditional methods. Golestan province is located in the northern transit route and welcomes millions of travelers every year d...

Background and Aim: Road injuries are one of the most important public health problems and the leading cause of death and injury all over the world. The aim of this study is to investigate the trend of publication in the domain of road incidents and injuries and to visualize its scientific structure. Materials and Methods: The present study is of scientometric type, its method is cross-section...

when a vehicle travels on a road, different parts of vehicle vibrate because of road roughness. this paper proposes a method to predict road roughness based on vertical acceleration using neural networks. to this end, first, the suspension system and road roughness are expressed mathematically. then, the suspension system model will identified using neural networks. the results of this step sho...

Soil erosion is of the most important environmental challenges and factors of forest damage, which is, occur because of the land use change, road construction and lack of vegetation cover. Forest soil is naturally penetrable but forest roads are not. This issue causes the flows runoff on road surface and washes soil particles. Thus, forest roads must be planned and constructed accurately. So, t...

One of the most important  natural hazards which threatens  the roads in mountainous regions are hillslope instabilities. This phenomenon is more frequent while  the roads are under construction.  Indentification of dangerous and susceptible areas to mass movement is especially important in order to implement some measures to control these natural phenomena.In this study mass movement hazard zo...
