In weaving section due to a strong need for lane changing, a type of turbulence is created in traffic flow; so, the speedand the capacity of the weaving section decreases. Therefore, investigation of the weaving section is very important.However, due to shortage of the manual for urban principal arterials (highways), calibration of these models is necessary.One of these models...

Foragers must often travel from a central place to exploit aggregations of prey. These patches can be identified behaviorally when a forager shifts from travel to area restricted search, identified by a decrease in speed and an increase in sinuosity of movement. Faster, more directed movement is associated with travel. Differentiating foraging behavior at patches from travel to patches is impor...

We develop a control method for traffic networks that uses information providing as a control measure. The provided information consists of travel time information of different possible routes, shown on variable message signs. We will present a model that describes the change in turning rates due to a travel time difference between two possible routes. The controller we develop integrates the p...

In the present study, Al5083- Al2O3 nanocomposite was successfully prepared by friction stir processing (FSP) with rotational speed of 710 rpm and travel speed of 14 mm/min. In order to improve distribution of Al2O3 particles, a net of holes were designed on the surface of Al5083 sheet. The samples were characterized by optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), microhardness, tensile and ...

Vehicular traffic congestion is a significant problem that arises in many cities. This is due to the increasing number of vehicles that are driving on city roads of limited capacity. The vehicular congestion significantly impacts travel distance, travel time, fuel consumption and air pollution. Avoidance of traffic congestion and providing drivers with optimal paths are not trivial tasks. The k...

The introduction of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies and new sensing hardware promise significant progress in reducing the congestion level in cities. Recent advances in the GPS technology and the probe vehicles deployment offer an innovative prospect for arterial travel time research. Specifically, we focus on estimation of arterial route travel time distribution which con...
