The real world is a complex dynamic and stochastic environment. This is especially true for the traffic moving daily on our roads. As such, accurate modeling that correctly considers the real-world dynamics and the inherent stochasticity is very important, especially if government will base its road tax decisions on the outcomes of these models. The contemporary traffic prices, if any, however ...

Diagnosis, or the method to connect causes to its effects, is an important reasoning task for obtaining insight on cities and reaching the concept of sustainable and smarter cities that is envisioned nowadays. This paper, focusing on transportation and its road traffic, presents how road traffic congestions can be detected and diagnosed in quasi real-time. We adapt pure Artificial Intelligence ...

The New South Wales (NSW) Government has identified road safety as one of its key State Plan priorities. The Roads and Traffic Authority of New South Wales (RTA) has been nominated as the lead agency for this priority. This presented the RTA with an important opportunity to reduce the State’s road toll even further. A new focus was introduced for the RTA to take up the challenges and priorities...

The Möbius-Kantor map {4 + 4, 3} [CMo, §8.8, 8.9] is a regular orientable map of type {8, 3} and genus 2. It is a 2-sheeted covering of the cube {4, 3}, branched over the centers of its six faces, each of which lifts to an octagonal face. Its (orientation-preserving) automorphism group is isomorphic to GL2(3), a double covering of the automorphism group PGL2(3) ∼= S4 of the cube. The aim of thi...

BACKGROUND Although road traffic injury is reported as the leading cause of work-related death in Australia, it is not clear, due to limitations in previous methods used, just how large a burden it is. Many organisations are unaware of the extent of work-related road traffic injury and, importantly, what can be done to reduce the burden. The proposed research will (i) estimate the prevalence of...

Park managers are concerned that moose (Alces alces), caribou (Rangifer tarandus), and grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) may be avoiding areas along the 130 km road through Denali National Park as a result of high traffic volume, thus decreasing opportunities for visitors to view wildlife. A wildlife monitoring system was developed in 1996 that used 19 landscape level viewsheds, stratified into four...
