The street hydraulic capacity to convey storm water is dictated by the street gutter geometry and hydraulic characteristics. With the consideration of traffic safety, the street hydraulic conveyance capacity is also subject to a reduction defined by the water velocity and flow depth in the street gutter. In this study, the street hydraulic equation is re-arranged to demonstrate that the water v...

BACKGROUND Air pollution has been associated with respiratory health effects. There is little direct evidence that reductions in air pollution related to abatement policies lead to actual improvement in respiratory health. We assessed whether a reduction in (traffic policy-related) air pollution concentrations was associated with changes in respiratory health. METHODS Air pollution concentrat...

Background: A road traffic accident is an incident on a way or street open to public traffic, resulting in one or more persons being killed or injured, and involving at least one moving vehicle. The purpose of this study was to present the prevalence and factors associated with road traffic accident in Chuko town , Southern Ethiopia Materials and Method: Community based cross sectional study w...

P ass-by trips are defined as trips attracted to a particular development from the traffic “passing by” on the adjacent street. Being able to predict and apply pass-by trip percentages as part of a traffic impact analysis allows engineers to more accurately estimate the traffic impacts of a new development on the surrounding street system. Intuitively, it seems reasonable that the higher the ad...

Computer simulation modeling is an established tool for assessing traffic operations. Over the past three decades, a variety of traffic simulation models have been developed, and many experiments and applications of these traffic simulation models to imaginary and real traffic operations have been conducted. This paper is intended to review widely used and newly developed models, in terms of mo...

Intelligent transportation systems enables the analysis of large multidimensional street traffic data to detect pattern and anomaly, which otherwise is a difficult task. Advancement in computer vision makes great contribution in the progress of video based traffic surveillance system. But still there are some challenges which need to be solved like objects occlusion, behavior of objects. This p...

background: in recent decades, ‎due to the increase in users of roads and inadequate attention to the creation and development of appropriate passageways for traffic, there has been a growing trend in traffic accidents and casualties caused by them. the traffic accidents among pedestrians to take necessary measures in a timely fashion should be well studied. this study was conducted with the go...

Noise pollution is a major problem for the quality of life in urban areas. The present study was conducted to determine the noise levels of road traffic at central area of Tehran. It focused on one of the busy and crowded square along with its 7 connecting streets, which had a heavy traffic and located in the downtown of the city. Total of 115 measuring points were selected along the roads, pav...
