Traffic engineering broadly relates to optimization of the operational performance of a network. This survey discusses techniques like multi-path routing using traffic splitting, constraint-based routing, pathprotection etc. that are used for traffic engineering. Multipath routing can be effectively used for maximum utilization of network reso urces. It gives the node a choice of next hops for ...

Road rage and road traffic accidents increase the burden of morbidity and mortality in a population. A cross-sectional survey with convenience sampling was conducted among commercial vehicle drivers in Lahore, Pakistan (n = 901) to record their behaviours/experiences regarding road rage and road traffic accidents. Respondents were asked about incidents of shouting/cursing/rude gestures or threa...

Traffic congestion, volumes, origins, destinations, routes, and other road-network performance metrics are typically collected through survey data or via static sensors such as traffic cameras and loop detectors. This information is often out-of-date, difficult to collect and aggregate, difficult to analyze and quantify, or all of the above. In this paper we conduct a case study that demonstrat...

Data traffic over cellular networks is exhibiting an ongoing exponential growth, increasing by an order of magnitude every year and has already surpassed voice traffic. This increase in data traffic demand has led to a need for solutions to enhance capacity provision, whereby traffic offloading to Wi-Fi is one means that can enhance realised capacity. Though offloading to Wi-Fi networks has mat...

This study examines if, and how, the size of the community in which people live may contribute to explaining differences in traffic safety behaviour (self-reported behaviour regarding the use of seat belts, bicycle helmets and reflectors) among young people in Sweden. The study is based on a Swedish nationwide traffic safety survey with a net sample of 2854 respondents aged 16-25. Ordered logit...

Vehicular traffic is increasing around the world, especially in urban areas. This increase results in a huge traffic congestion, which has dramatic consequences on economy, human health, and environment. Traditional methods used for traffic management, surveillance and control become inefficient in terms of performance, cost, maintenance, and support, with the increased traffic. Wireless Sensor...

The introduction of ICT in the traffic domain showed great potential, but the many opportunities this brings seems to have distracted engineers. To solve urban traffic problems, many potentially effective solutions have been developed, but deployment rates are low. The main reason seems to be that stakeholder interests are often not understood. Moreover, a common understanding of the severity o...

The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) has been interested for the past several years in obtaining data on traffic trends and to monitor and control traffic in realtime. Currently, there are several methods by which the DOT regulates and monitors road transport. Cameras mounted on towers, detectors embedded in pavements or pneumatic tubes, and unmanned aircraft have been proven to...

Modeling and development of control systems to deal with the congestion at intersection in urban traffic is a critical research issue. Several approaches have been used to develop the modeling and controlling phenomenon in the said problem. These approaches include, Petri net, Fuzzy Logic, Neural Network, Genetic Algorithms, Activity Theory, Multi Agent Systems and many more. This paper is a su...

In this chapter we present a survey of algorithms for scheduling packet traffic in broadcast optical WDM networks. We first describe the context and motivations of the scheduling problem. We then review the current literature in the field with an emphasis on scheduling techniques for providing best-effort service as well as guaranteed service for both unicast and multi-destination traffic. We p...
