One of the main challenges in developing efficient and effective winter road maintenance is to design an accurate prediction model for surface friction coefficient. A reliable coefficient can help decision support systems significantly increase traffic safety, while saving time cost. High dynamicity weather conditions lead presence uncertainties historical data extracted by sensors. To overcome...

Vehicle-related ground occlusion is a common problem in MLS data. This study aims to design detection and reconstruction method of static vehicle-related for Ground extraction vehicle segmentation are performed on the input point cloud data advance. Then an α-shape boundary based prior geometry designed split non-ground empty area occlusions. The detected matched with its corresponding using re...

A 12-year-old child presented to us with an avulsion injury left lower limb 6 hours following road traffic accident. On examination, the patient had avulsion of skin from the anterolateral surface of the thigh and circumferential skin avulsion extending from knee joint to the foot (figure 1). The non-viable avulsed skin was debrided till the fresh bleeding edges were obtained. The avulsed skin ...

Information on the productivity, costs and applications of the logging system is a key component in the evaluation of management plans for the rehabilitation and utilization of Caspian forests. Skidding and road construction costs are expensive forest operations. Determining the optimum forest road network density is one of the most important factors in sustainable forest management. Logging me...

This paper designs and analyzes the performance of a reliable communication scheme for the traffic control system built upon a wireless process control protocol, aiming at enhancing the robustness and timeliness of the safetycritical control applications. Focusing on the slot-based predictable access and the grid topology of urban area road networks, the proposed scheme establishes one primary ...

THE COMMONEST causes of rupture of the kidney are either road traffic accidents or rugby football. A kidney can be damaged by a direct blow in the loin, such as when a player falls on the ball and the pack forms a loose scrum, kicking everything in sight including the victim's loins. Another form of sport in which renal damage is not infrequent is horse-riding. If the rider is thrown and lands ...

A central question in routing games has been to establish conditions for the uniqueness of the equilibrium, either in terms of network topology or in terms of costs. This question is well understood in two classes of routing games. The first is the non-atomic routing introduced by Wardrop on 1952 in the context of road traffic in which each player (car) is infinitesimally small; a single car ha...

During the last decade, significant progress was achieved in terms of policy and institutional reforms in the financial sector in India. A question that needs to be addressed is: how far have these initiatives resulted in narrowing the inter-market divergences and achieved reasonable degree of the market integration? This paper examines this issue empirically and attempts to provide some eviden...

The intelligent vehicle navigation based on machine vision is the important part to realize Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), and it includes road detection, obstacle detection and motion control. Combining with foreign and domestic latest research trends, in this article, we mainly study the typical method of road detection, and point out the research and development tendency of intelli...
