Urban joblessness and inner city deprivation are a feature of the late twentieth century throughout the developed world. This paper considers the effectiveness of spatiallytargeted programmes in creating employment in deprived urban areas. It begins by discussing the twin themes of “enterprise” and “localism” which have dominated the UK policy response to urban problems in the 1990s and goes on...

As mobile and wearable technology has evolved, an increasing need for indoor positioning has arisen. In particular, the use of ultrasonics provides a cheap way to fulfil this need. However, current ultrasonic location systems have to be calibrated manually by providing information about the exact positions of the transmitters used. Where systems are to be deployed over a large number of rooms i...

This paper presents algorithms for vision-based detection and classification of vehicles in monocular image sequences of traffic scenes recorded by a stationary camera. Processing is done at three levels: raw images, region level and vehicle level. Vehicles are modeled as rectangular patches with certain dynamic behavior. The proposed method is based on the establishment of correspondences betw...

This paper extends the concept of a design hourly volume (DHV) which is derived from “ nth hour” to based on highest saturated hour. To calculate this hour at each ramp junction node, it necessary have permanent traffic counts (PTC) all ramps and main lanes. In practice, such are often not available. For cases, German Highway Capacity Manual proposes method that enables estimation DHV through s...

As one of the supporting cities that connects to Batu City, Malang City has several connecting roads can be alternative which is Simpang Gajayana road - Joyoagung road, with function as a secondary collector. Along rapid rate mobility and community growth, many social areas have been developed along this so section becomes crowded heavy traffic, it certainly an impact on level service. The purp...

Highway construction projects are one of the most important construction projects in the world. Therefore predicting the time of these kinds of projects is important. Basically highway projects are including few activities which are repeating along the horizontal direction. One of the best methods for scheduling these types of projects is linear scheduling method. The repetitive nature of the h...

Dynamic traffic assignment through analytical modeling and optimization has been widely accepted by the IVHS R&D community as a promising traffic control tool for understanding and relieving traffic congestion on conventional highways and city streets. Due to the completely controlled nature of AHS traffic, dynamic assignment of AHS traffic is even more promising. One added dimension of complex...
