Currently different categories of traffic analysis tools exist. Among them simulation models can be marked as one of the most powerful approach to do traffic analysis researches. In classical literature simulation models are divided on macroscopic, mesoscopic and microscopic models. Microscopic and macroscopic modelling are well known and widely used, but both of them have disadvantages and lim...

Given a set of n colored points with a total of m > 3 colors in 2D, the problem of identifying the smallest color-spanning object is studied. We have considered two different shapes: (i) corridor, and (ii) rectangle of arbitrary orientation. Our proposed algorithm identifies the narrowest color-spanning corridor in O(n2 log n) time using O(n) space. Our proposed algorithm for identifying minimu...

This study presents an integrated model and its solution algorithm for freeway corridor control during incident management. With a parallel arterial as the detour route, the proposed model aims to produce the optimal diversion rates from the freeway mainline to relieve the congestion at the incident segment, and concurrently adjust signal timings at the arterial intersections to best accommodat...

Seedling establishment and survival on the Savannah River Site in South Carolina is being monitored as part of the Pen Branch Bottomland Restoration Project. Bottomland tree species were planted fi-om 1993-1995 across a hydrologic gradient which encompasses the drier upper floodplain corridor, the lower floodplain corridor and the continuously inundated delta. Twelve species were planted in the...

Objective: To perform a comparative analysis of the six-minute walk test in healthy children and adolescents in corridors of 30.5m (100 feet) 20m (65.6 feet) in length. Methods: We evaluated 67 participants (36 boys and 31 girls), aged 7 to 14 years old, from public schools of a city in a metropolitan area. All were submitted to four walking tests, two in each of the corridors. The variables an...

We present a novel neurally based model for estimating angular velocity (AV) in the bee brain, capable of quantitatively reproducing experimental observations of visual odometry and corridor-centering in free-flying honeybees, including previously unaccounted for manipulations of behaviour. The model is fitted using electrophysiological data, and tested using behavioural data. Based on our mode...

When the distance between an obstacle and a power line is less than the discharge distance, a discharge arc can be generated, resulting in the interruption of power supplies. Therefore, regular safety inspections are necessary to ensure the safe operation of power grids. Tall vegetation and buildings are the key factors threatening the safe operation of extra high voltage transmission lines wit...

This paper presents a visual recognition method to identify types of corridor segments such as T-junctions, L-junctions, and dead ends using vanishing point-based visual features and a two-layer recognition framework. This approach is useful for efficient robot navigation in the sense that a mobile robot is able to recognize the corridor segment type before reaching it, allowing the robot to ma...

This paper presents a generalized diversion control model for freeway incident management that is capable of concurrently optimizing the detour rates and arterial signal timings over multiple roadway corridor segments between the freeway and its neighboring arterial. To capture various operational complexities due to the interactions between multiple diversions, this study has extended the mode...

The conventional manual power line corridor inspection processes that are used by most energy utilities are labor-intensive, time consuming and expensive. Remote sensing technologies represent an attractive and cost-effective alternative approach to these monitoring activities. This paper presents a comprehensive investigation into automated remote sensing based power line corridor monitoring, ...
