this study is devoted to the formulation of the network design problem of one-way streets and the application of simulated annealing (sa) algorithm to solve this problem for a large real network. it discusses some points of views on one-way street networks, the objective function used for design, the way in which design constraints may be considered, and the traffic problems concerning one-way ...

Travels within the city are done in different ways, by vehicle or on foot. Thus, inevitably, a part of the travel is always done on foot. Since intersections as traffic nodes are determinant factor in transportation network capacity, any disruption in them leads to severe reduction in network capacity. Unfortunately, pedestrian behavior has received little attention in Iran. While this is a ver...

Concerning the population growth and urban development, significant growth in the rate of personal car usage has caused more transportation and thus growth in occupying the street areas for parking vehicles. This has caused much transporting problems and traffic. Hence concerning the parking issue is crucial in traffic and municipal management.The important issue is the suitable place for the p...

K ey elements of any new land develo~ment are traffic circulation in and around the site and the potential impact the development may have on the existing street system. Traditionally, the evaluation of these impacts is a four-part process: determining the amount of traffic generated by the site, estimating the origins and destinations of people using the site, assigning traffic to the surround...

T hroughout the United States, citizens are asking their city traffic engineers to reduce “excessive” cut-through traffic and speeding cars on their local streets. A recent ZTE Journal article noted an “epidemic” of street closure requests,’ and many recent ITE articles have dealt with aspects of neighborhood traffic control. More and more, city and county traffic engineers must shift their att...

Automatic incident detection is becoming one of the core tools of urban traffic management, enabling more rapid identification and response to traffic incidents and congestion. The existing traffic detection infrastructure within many urban areas (often installed for traffic signal optimisation) provides urban traffic control systems with a near continuous stream of data on the state of traffic...
