Experiments using real traffic traces are of key importance in many network management research fields, such as traffic characterization, intrusion detection, and accounting. Access to such traces is often restricted due to privacy issues; research institutions typically have to sign non-disclosure agreements before accessing such traces from a network operator. Having such restrictions, resear...

In this work, we present a Colored Petri Net (CPN) model used for prototyping and modeling a complex switching scheme for ATM switches based on the combined I/O buffering technique. The new scheme is evaluated here within an overall setting that includes the traffic regulations enforced by the leaky bucket algorithm. It is based on splitting the traffic coming into input lines into two priority...

Traffic offenders are penalized in various ways: fines, (temporary) driving licence suspensions, confiscation of their vehicles, penalty points, mandatory participation in rehabilitation programmes, prison sentences or community service. The aim of penalties is to punish offenders, to protect society and to influence the behaviour of offenders and all citizens (prevention). Many studies have fo...

The investigation showed that the increasing number of deaths and fatalities resulting from driving accidents is mostly related to developing countries especially with intermediate and low social classes which it is resulting from industrialization of the mentioned societies without considering necessary infra structures such as health, safety and environment (HSE). Increasing number of cars, u...

Regulations restricting ownership and the utilisation of private vehicles are on the rise to improve the efficiency and quality of transport systems worldwide. Rising levels of congestion, local air pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions drive decision makers to adopt strategic policies to restrict traffic. License plate lotteries, driving bans, and peak-hour driving restrictions are gain...

The Bosporus Straits are among the most crowded and potentially dangerous, waterways in the world traversing urban areas of over 12 million people. Their narrow and winding shape, along with strong surface and counter deep water sea currents hinders the navigation. In this article, a queuing model of maritime traffic in the Bosporus Straits is presented. Physical characteristics of the waterway...

we are concerned: the number of road traffic fatalities is rising since 2014 again, in germany, in the european ::union::, in the usa, after a continuous decline over the last 40 years. many reasons are discussed:  human behaviour, e.g. texting while driving; no respect for traffic rules; daily life competition, who will be the fastest; more traffic, more vehicles, more kilometres driven. the i...

OVERVIEW: Traffic control systems for automobile traffic are being set up that allow more advanced traffic signal control according to traffic conditions and provide drivers with the real-time traffic information that they need to make their own driving decisions. The traffic information required by the driver includes traffic regulations, degree of congestion, parking space availability and so...

The increase in government regulation during the 1960s and 1970s is examined, as well as showing the importance of understanding the benefit/cost ratio of regulation.
