Traffic conditions in Indian urban and sub urban roads are in many ways not ideal for driving. This is due to faded and unmaintained lane markings. Therefore driving sometimes becomes difficult. Due to inappropriate markings of the roads, it is difficult to track the lane marking using conventional lane marking algorithms. Therefore the issue of Lane tracking with road boundary detection and ot...

The left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) is known to be involved in the processing of syntactic complexity, such as word order variation. It is also known to be involved in semantic interpretation in studies of various types of semantic and pragmatic anomalies. Across neuroimaging studies of language processing, two main approaches can be found, one that contrasts anomalous and well-formed words ...

This paper presents a robust lane marking detection algorithm suited for a large variety of traffic scenarios, under various lighting conditions. The algorithm detects dark-light-dark transitions using an improved method for horizontal gradient computation, which accounts for the expected marking width and for the perspective effect by means of a variable size filter. The computation of the var...

At the annual Purdue Road School last year, a discussion of traffic paints was presented that included some general considerations, traffic-paint formulation, and traffic-paint re­ search.* Both the selection and the application of traffic paints were discussed. The research program on traffic paints of the Joint Highway Research Project was well under way at that time. The scope, purpose, and ...

Lane markings can provide drivers significant warning instruction about current/ approaching road condition, in that case precise lane marking detection results are important assistance for safety issue in the driving assistance system (DAS). In this paper, we mainly focus on urban lane marking detection. We used sampling peaks from IPM image for lane markings’ extraction and description. The p...

Tire dust is a significant pollutant, especially as a source of zinc in the urban environment. This study characterizes the morphology and chemical composition of heavy metal particles embedded in tire dust and traffic-related materials (brake dust, yellow paint, and tire tread) as measured by a field emission scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (F...

In this work, it is reported a comparison between solid microspheres produced from glass having conventional industrial sand (IS) and glasses made with rice husk ashes (RHA) as source of silica. The same composition was used to fabricate both glasses. focused the production for road horizontal marking, which would attend type classification called Premix. were obtained by flame method. results ...
