One way to prioritize public transport over private vehicle mobility, is implement curbside rather than layby bus stop designs. There is, however, uncertainty about the consequences of implementing stops for traffic collision risks. To begin investigating this issue, we describe an exploratory analysis in which national data describing stops, road properties, collisions and built-up areas were ...

The aim of Urban Mines is to provide information, expert advice, support, direction and financial solutions to waste, energy, and climate change problems [1]. There are several effective ways of separating recyclable materials; one possible way is to separate it as mixed waste in suitable plants i.e. curbside, MRF (Material Recycling Facility) or landfill.

As a healthier and more sustainable way of mobility, cycling has been advocated by literature policy. However, current trends in bicyclist crash fatalities suggest deficiencies roadway design protecting these vulnerable road users. The lack data is common challenge for studying bicyclists' safety, behavior, comfort levels under different contexts. To understand behavioral physiological response...

In crowded city centers, drivers looking for available parking space generate extra traffic and in addition, the resulting excessive exhaust gases cause air pollution. Therefore, directing to a spot an intelligent way is important task smart applications. This requires prediction of occupancy states lots which involves appropriate processing historical data. this work, Long-Short Term Memory (L...

This paper studies a real-time parking-sharing program with which owners of private parking spaces can lend out their to other drivers park when these are not in use. Compared curbside and garage problems, the information supplies demands is randomly announced by respectively via APP installed on smartphones. Besides, made available independent usually heterogeneous terms locations time interva...
