short-term prediction of traffic flow is central to alleviating congestion and controlling the negative impacts of environmental pollution resulting from vehicle emissions on both inter- and intra-urban highways. the strong need to monitor and control congestion time and costs for metropolis in developing countries has therefore motivated the current study. this paper establishes the applicatio...

Analyzing motion patterns in traffic videos can be exploited directly to generate high-level descriptions of the video contents. Such descriptions may further be employed in different traffic applications such as traffic phase detection and abnormal event detection. One of the most recent and successful unsupervised methods for complex traffic scene analysis is based on topic models. In this pa...

Draft traffic impact assessment (TIA) guidelines for various landuses in general, and for high traffic generating buildings in particular, were published in Iran in the middle of 2016. In formulating that report the Traffic Committee of the Iranian Building Engineering Order reviewed international experience, including that of Australia. Traffic impact assessment started in Australia in the 196...

Traffic classification plays an important role in many aspects of network management such as identifying type of the transferred data, detection of malware applications, applying policies to restrict network accesses and so on. Basic methods in this field were using some obvious traffic features like port number and protocol type to classify the traffic type. However, recent changes in applicat...

It’s also based in the hypothesis that a possible lack of identity (without defining an identity for themselves, the policemen could be given themselves a subordinated identity that comes from other people in society) could have as en effect some violent practices, in a kind of answer to what police think the population, or parts of it, could wait from them.
