Lane detection in urban environments is a challenging task. That is mainly due to the non existence of unique models, poor quality of lane markings due to wear, occlusions due to the presence of traffic and complex road geometry. In this work we present a novel lane detection and tracking algorithm for urban road scenarios based on weak models, which is implemented by a particle filter. The alg...

Road traffic injuries and fatalities are increasing in Ghana. Police-collected crash and injury data for the period 1994-1998 were aggregated and analyzed using the MAAP5 accident analysis package developed by the Transport Research Laboratory, U.K. Published results of recent transport-related epidemiological and other surveys provided an additional data source. According to the 1994-1998 poli...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The significance of road mobility in any nation cannot be far-fetched or beyond economic purpose, spatial interaction and social integration. It contributes enormously to the livelihood of human existence most especially by facilitating regional complementarity of trade, intervening opportunities, and spatial transferability. The objective of this stu...

Traffic calming is a useful way of controlling speeds where it is unnecessarily excessive and inappropriate for the place and uses in the surroundings, (Taylor et al, 2000). There are high incidents of road carnage in Masvingo urban and its peripheral areas despite the constructed traffic calming measures.The rationality of traffic calming measures was based on the need to improve safety and en...

To evaluate the speed of growth of an urban area road is one of the fast information updating element during urban development. Road information extraction based on high resolution satellite images play an important role because roads affect city land usage. In this paper, two approaches for road network extraction for an urban are proposed. Most research in road extraction begins with an origi...
