a total of 38, 300 traffic collisions have occurred in tehran, the capital of iran, during 1973. 5, 655 of these collisions in 6, 700 injuries and 560 deaths are selected and discussed. there has been no difference between the accident rates in working and holidays. winter has had the lowest rate, and accidents have been in direct relationship with the crowdedness and heavy traffic periods. nin...

the police are competent and always present contact persons who have direct knowledge and experience and act as role models in the area of road traffic. one of the focuses of police work is to increase tolerance and consideration, especially for more vulnerable road users. the priorities of the police are geared at emphasizing how relevant and appropriate the decisions made by road traffic auth...

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...

today, the number of drivers and traffic users is increasing. so, it is necessary to know that the human factor has the most important factor in the traffic. thus, any behavior change or fault that arises from human factor (for example drivers) can have inappropriate impacts on the traffic. so, it is important that traffic users be trained about the effectiveness and attention to the traffic si...

The authors used traffic exposure data to calculate exposure-based fatal and nonfatal traffic injury rates in the United States. Nationally representative data were used to identify fatal and nonfatal traffic injuries that occurred from 1999 to 2003, and the 2001 National Household Travel Survey was used to estimate traffic exposure (i.e., person-trips). Fatal and nonfatal traffic injury rates ...

Traffic-light labelling has been proposed as a public health intervention to improve the dietary intakes of consumers. OBJECTIVES to model the potential impact of avoiding foods with red traffic lights on the label on the energy, total fat, saturated fat, sodium, and sugars intakes of Canadian adults. METHODS Canadian adults aged 19 and older (n = 19,915) who responded to the Canadian Commu...

The primary purpose of this study was to explore the link between rail and road traffic noise and overall life satisfaction. While the negative relationship between residential satisfaction and traffic noise is relatively well-established, much less is known about the effect of traffic noise on overall life satisfaction. Based on results of previous studies, we propose a model that links object...

Extensive number of traffic on roads and improper methods of controls of that traffic creates traffic jam. Bad traffic management leads to wastage of time, person-hour and increase in pollution. The frequent jams require a proper management system for increasing traffic. Existing methods work well in free-flow traffic but in the case of heavy congestion, these methods have to face challenges.Th...

The Road Sign Recognition is a field of applied computer vision research concerned with the automatic detection and classification of traffic signs in traffic scene images. The aim of this research paper is to study the various classification techniques that can be used to construct a system that recognizes road signs in images. The primary objective is to develop an algorithm which will identi...
