The main objective of this study is to estimate a part of road traffic injury costs including costs due to fatality and disability, which are related to lost social products. Lost output consists of costs, which are related to losses of national product or lost-income in death, hospitalization or physical disabilities. In recent years, the Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) has been used as...

In absence of any link layer traffic controls or priorityqueuing mechanism in LAN infrastructure (such as shared media LAN), Subnet Bandwidth Management based approach of managing bandwidth is limited to only total amount of traffic load imposed by RSVP associated flows. In such cases no mechanism is available to separate RSVP flows from Best Effort Traffic. This brings usefulness of subnet Ban...

A System-on-Chip (SoC) consists of several processing engines integrated onto the same chip. The traffic flow from each of the processing engines can have different performance requirements. For example, a processor whose traffic to the external DRAM is dominated by cache-line fills would require that the latency of the traffic is minimized. On the other hand, traffic flow from a video decoder ...

Short-term prediction of traffic flow is central to alleviating congestion and controlling the negative impacts of environmental pollution resulting from vehicle emissions on both inter- and intra-urban highways. The strong need to monitor and control congestion time and costs for metropolis in developing countries has therefore motivated the current study. This paper establishes the applicatio...

In the traffic flow on the city road network, it is observed that a new additional road, which is constructed for overcoming the traffic jam, causes more terrible traffic jam. This is well known as Braess’s paradox. Recently, it is pointed out that Braess’s paradox depends on the traffic density and the paradox disappears at high traffic density. The aim of this study is to describe the algorit...

conclusions atpl was higher in the post-monsoon season. w/s ratio and correlation analysis revealed interseasonal homogeneity of tmv and traffic noise levels and interseasonal heterogeneity of air pollutant concentrations and atpl in the city microenvironments. results atpl was 3.35 times higher in the post-monsoon and 1.83 times higher in the pre-monsoon season than the permissible limits pres...
