This article presents an automatic methodology for extraction of road segments from high-resolution aerial images. The method is based on a set of four road objects and another set of connection rules among road objects. Each road object is a local representation of an approximately straight road fragment and its construction is based on combination of polygons describing all relevant image edg...

sustainable road transportation requires integration with economic, social and environmental aspects of transportation. it depends on term and condition of each society. in the recent decades, transportation is growing fast in iran and isfahan follows this scenario. the aim of this study is to study the traffic, parking road properties of isfahan metropolitan area who are actively implementing ...

The Department Public Works, Spatial Planning Land (PUPRP) Parigi Moutong Regency part responsible for maintaining repairing Regency. limited budget number being managed make process determining priority road repairs not right on t...

This paper explores the possibility of using recorded road slope data in order to reduce fuel consumption for off-road construction vehicles such as articulated haulers. Road gradients have strong influence on the fuel consumption of a vehicle. This effect is even more significant on construction vehicles due to their large mass and heavy load. In this study, a control algorithm based on model ...

The variation of road surface temperature across a road network is influenced regionally by meteorological parameters and locally by geographical parameters. A fast and reliable technique is described which allows the continuous collection of high resolution, geographical data including the sky-view factor which is suitable for use in road climate modelling studies. Then by use of regression an...
