most accidents happens because of lack of visibility and not driver’s reaction on time whenan accident occurs. increasing required time for driver’s reaction caused to decreasingaccidents on roadways .intelligent vehicle networks brings enough time for reaction by sendingalert and alternate messages to vehicles on roadway. main propose in this paper is aroundmodulation on reception interval saf...

Compact urban development would reduce urban sprawl, leading to shorter driving distances and ultimately less regional air pollution. But it would also mean greater housing density in a given area, potentially increasing the number of residences near major roadways. Given that exposure to traffic emissions near roadways is strongly associated with asthma and related symptoms in children, a new ...

This paper shows the impacts of human interference on Nile River morphology. A roadway culvert was constructed to connect an island on Nile River to the eastern bank of the Nile had altered river morphology in the vicinity of the island. The paper focuses on, 1) the efficiency of the roadway culvert to pass the normal flow, and 2) the impact of the roadway culvert on river morphology. A one-dim...

For several years the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Turner Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) has been conducting a research program on the effectiveness of roadway delineation for providing enhanced guidance to the driver negotiating curves on rural two-lane roads at night. The FHWA Highway Driving Simulator (HDS), located at the TFHRC, plays an important role in this research pr...

BACKGROUND While several studies suggest that traffic-related air pollutants are detrimental for respiratory health, few studies have examined relationships between residential proximity to a major roadway and asthma control in children. Furthermore, a major limitation of existing research is reliance on self-reported outcomes. We therefore determined the spatial relationship between the distan...

BACKGROUND The emerging consensus that exposure to near-roadway traffic-related pollution causes asthma has implications for compact urban development policies designed to reduce driving and greenhouse gases. OBJECTIVES We estimated the current burden of childhood asthma-related disease attributable to near-roadway and regional air pollution in Los Angeles County (LAC) and the potential healt...

A significant portion of the observed variability in roadway performance can be due to the difference and innate heterogeneity in drivers’ behaviour. Analytical models, stated preference data collection and studies, and laboratory-based simulator experiments are developed to understand the driver behaviour for years. However, little has been done to fill the important gap between the survey/lab...

Studies investigating crash rates by roadway classification are few and far between and even more so if extended to focus on heavy vehicles. This study explores and compares two advanced econometric methods, random-parameter Tobit regression and latent class Tobit regression, to determine contributing factors for heavy vehicle crashes per million-vehicle-miles-traveled while accounting for the ...

Changing the built environment is a sound, but often underutilized approach to injury control. The authors reviewed the literature and conducted a meta-analysis to synthesize the evidence on the association of roadway characteristics with risk of pediatric pedestrian injury. To synthesize the data, they converted results to odds ratios based on direct results or abstracted outcomes and used Bay...
