Nowadays, the number of vehicles has increased exponentially, but the bedrock capacities of roads and transportation systems have not developed in an equivalent way to efficiently cope with the number of vehicles traveling on them. Due to this, road jamming and traffic correlated pollution have increased with the associated adverse societal and financial effect on different markets worldwide. A...

Digital image processing is the use of computer algorithms to perform image processing on digital images. As a subcategory or field of digital signal processing, digital image processing has many advantages and applications. One of the applications of digital image processing is for traffic analysis. In literature survey it is found that traffic analysis can be done by Background Subtraction, b...

Original scientific paper Planning of road transport infrastructure is a complex process. One of the major issues is determining the design elements of road infrastructure (road type and number of traffic lanes, cross-sectional profile, etc.). When designing roads, parameters from the international literature are used, containing values derived empirically from local data on traffic flow (mostl...

To evaluate performance of different traffic generators, a comparison is required to find out most suitable traffic generator for particular application which could help researchers to evaluate a network in a better way. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of six most popular traffic generators. Traffic Generators are used to generate synthetic traffic to check network performance. Discu...

Objective: There are not enough good instruments for assessing driving behavior in Iran. This study aimed to investigate factor structure, convergent and divergent validity, and reliability of driving behavior survey (DBS). Methods: The study method is descriptive and survey. Participants comprised 147 Sample selected by convenient method. Iranian drivers who completed DBS, Manc...

Traffic congestion in highway networks is one of the main issues to be addressed by today’s traffic management schemes. Automation combined with the increasing market penetration of on-line communication, navigation, and advanced driver assistance systems will ultimately result in intelligent vehicle highway systems (IVHS) that distribute intelligence between roadside infrastructure and vehicle...

Globally, road traffic injuries accounted for about 1.36 million deaths in 2015 and are projected to become the fourth leading cause of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost by 2030. One-fifth of these deaths occurred in South Asia where road traffic injuries are projected to increase by 144% by 2020. Despite this rapidly increasing disease burden there is limited evidence on the economic...

In this survey paper, we overview the various network traffic models, especially focusing on the multiscale analysis. By multiscale analysis we mean wavelet-based self-similar and multifractal analysis. Multiscale analysis is advantageous in that it can reveal the scaling behavior of the traffic on large time scale, at the same time characterize small-scale irregularity. We also discuss how we ...

Traffic signals are ubiquitous devices that first appeared in 1868. Recent advances in information and communications technology (ICT) have led to unprecedented improvements in such areas as mobile handheld devices (i.e., smartphones), the electric power industry (i.e., smart grids), transportation infrastructure, and vehicle area networks. Given the trend towards interconnectivity, it is only ...

With rapid growth of notebooks and mobile devices, the wireless local area network (WLAN) is expected to carry more vast varieties of traffic. While traffic such as file transferring, voice and video are carefully studied, online interactive game traffic has not yet received much attention with respect to its growing share in today’s Internet traffic. Some papers had analyzed and proposed traff...
