The presence of cyclists on Spanish two-lane rural roads is common, so they have to interact with motor vehicles. Due the speed differential and vulnerability cyclists, overtaking one most dangerous frequent interactions. Therefore, a minimum distance 1.5 m must be observed. manoeuvre depends road section cyclist group distribution. Interaction between vehicles has been characterized in past bu...

This paper investigates the impact of road tolling in rural China. The country's lack of capital for transport development has made tolls a common place. Toll roads have been established in both urban and rural areas. Examining the interactions between peasants and rural markets in a county in Guangdong province, this study demonstrated road tolling has restricted people's choice of market venu...

Introduction The time headway of vehicles is of fundamental importance in traffic engineering applications like capacity, levelof-service and safety studies. Further, the performance of traffic simulation depends on inputs into the simulation process and ‘accurate vehicle generation’ is critical in this context. Thus, it is important to define headway distribution pattern for the purpose of ana...

<span lang="EN-US">Automatic lane detection for driver assistance is a significant component in developing advanced systems and high-level application frameworks since it contributes to pedestrian safety on roads highways. However, due several limitations that must rectify, such as the uncertainties of patterns, perspective consequences, limited visibility lines, dark spots, complex backg...

The use of bicycles on two-lane rural roads in Spain has been increasing recent years. However, these have no bicycle infrastructure, being cyclists forced to share the road and interact with motorized vehicles. In environments, interaction between users from cyclist’s point view is still not well understood. To analyze it, relationships risk perceptions behavioral factors according their demog...

In a series of contributions Olderog et al. have formulated and verified safety controllers for a number of lane-maneuvers on multilane roads. Their work is characterized by great clarity and elegance partly due to the introduction of a special-purpose Multi-Lane Spatial Logic. In this paper, we want to illustrate the potential of current modelchecking technology for automatic synthesis of opti...

In this paper, a Catmull±Rom spline-based lane model which describes the perspective e€ect of parallel lines has been proposed for generic lane boundary. Since Catmull±Rom spline can form arbitrary shapes by di€erent sets of control points, it can describe a wider range of lane structures compared with other lane models, i.e. straight and parabolic models. Moreover, the lane detection problem h...

Unsuccessful overtaking maneuvers on two-lane rural roads are one of the major causes road accidents in 21st century. The complexity this maneuver merits adoption a thorough method for developing proposed assistance system to prevent and consequently reduce high number fatalities associated economic costs. This study aims introduce an intelligent Driver Overtaking Assistance System (DOAS) assis...

Computer Vision based autonomous robot navigation has caught the attention of many researchers because of its huge potential in various industrial and social applications. This paper focuses on various approaches used to detect road region which is fundamental requirement in applications like intelligent vehicles, lane detection and tracking and driver assistance systems. Broadly speaking techn...
