We give rigorous results on the analytical properties of multilane traffic flow models based on hyperbolic balance laws. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35L65, 35L67, 90B20

As a result of the increasing use artificial intelligence technology in transportation, numerous real-time crash prediction techniques have been developed. In context highway traffic management, machine learning models and classifiers are used to analyze electronic toll collection (ETC) vehicle detector (VD) data predict occurrences. However, accidents influenced by multiple factors, such as sp...

Bottlenecks are key features of any freeway system and represent the emerging location for recurrent and non-recurrent traffic congestion. In Oregon, a freeway data archive known as PORTAL records volume, occupancy, and speed measurements from over 600 freeway locations every 20 seconds. This archive has enabled development of online freeway performance and reliability analysis tools. This pape...

Transmission of Paracoccidioides spp. fungi to humans is usually related to manipulation of soil. Rural workers are the most affected group. We report an outbreak of paracoccidioidomycosis after deforestation and massive earth removal during construction of a highway in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Extensive environmental disturbances might be involved in fungal transmission.

A risk-averse preview-based $Q$ -learning planner is presented for navigation of autonomous vehicles (AVs). To this end, the multilane road ahead a vehicle represented by finite-state nonstationary Markov decision process (MDP). risk ...

Due to its large size, this document has been segmented into multiple files. All files separate from this main document file are accessible from links (blue type) in the table of contents or the body of the document. Executive Summary Introduction One of the most compelling reasons for investment in Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) services is to realize a reduction in traffic congestion...

short-term traffic flow forecasting plays a significant role in the intelligent transportation systems (its), especially for the traffic signal control and the transportation planning research. two mainly problems restrict the forecasting of urban freeway traffic parameters. one is the freeway traffic changes non-regularly under the heterogeneous traffic conditions, and the other is the success...

BACKGROUND Road traffic Injuries (RTIs) as a health problem imposes governments to implement different interventions. Target achievement in this issue required effective and efficient measures. Efficiency evaluation of traffic police as one of the responsible administrators is necessary for resource management. Therefore, this study conducted to measure Iran's rural traffic police efficiency. ...
