This paper aims to develop a multi-objective model for scheduling cargo trains faced by the costs of tardiness and earliness, time limitations, queue priority and limited station lines. Based upon the Islamic Republic of Iran Railway Corporation (IRIRC) regulations, passenger trains enjoy priority over other trains for departure. Therefore, the timetable of cargo trains must be determined based...

The main ridge of the Alps lays just crosses Austria. Therefore it is not surprising that most highways in Austria do have to pass through a lot of road tunnels. Among these tunnels, some of the world longest tunnels for vehicle traffic are found. For safety reasons today all long road tunnels are planed with two tubes. Two tubes allow one way traffic in each tube. In the case of one way traffi...

Subject review Traffic congestions in urban networks could contribute to adverse impact on the economy, environment and the quality of life. As a result, much research has been conducted to provide counter measures through traffic-responsive control strategies. These strategies aim to provide automated regulations of traffics through various control and intelligent systems methodologies. This p...

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANET) is a subgroup of (Mobile Ad Hoc Networks) MANET which is using for improves traffic safety system. Since the movements of Vehicles are restricted by roads, traffic regulations we can deploy fixed infrastructure at critical locations. We focus our study on the different kind of attacks and its behaviour or impact in safety system and how many challenges; we have...

An accident is unexpected, unusual, unintended and identifiable external event which occurs at any place and at any time. The major concern faced by the government and traffic officials is over speeding at limited speed zones like hospitals, schools or residential places leading to causalities and more deaths on the roads. Hence the speed of the vehicles is to be regulated and confined to the l...
