The developing situation with higher speed, more frequent traffic, and many competing train traffic operators, requires new principles and technical solutions for more efficient train traffic control. Control actions are today often mainly focused on controlling the technical parts of the infrastructure, signals etc. We have tried to shift the control paradigm from today's more technology orien...

background road traffic accidents and their related deaths have become a major concern, particularly in developing countries. iran has adopted a series of policies and interventions to control the high number of accidents occurring over the past few years. in this study we used a time series model to understand the trend of accidents, and ascertain the viability of applying arima models on data...

Agents interacting in a dynamically changing spatial environment often need to access the same spatial resources. A typical example is given by moving vehicles that meet at an intersection in a street network. In such situations right-of-way rules regulate the actions the vehicles involved may perform. For this application scenario we show how the Golog framework for reasoning about action and ...

Phone use while driving has become one of the priority issues in road safety, given that it may lead to decreased situation awareness and deteriorated driving performance. It has been suggested that drivers can regulate their exposure to secondary tasks and seek for compatibility of phone use and driving. Phone use strategies include the choice of driving situations with low demands and interru...

In this paper, we investigate cooperative traffic light control for multiple intersections based on semi-realtime processing. As urban traffic congestion problems is increasingly aggravating, existing traffic light controllers can no longer satisfy the rising demands for efficiently easing traffic pressure. In this paper, we propose an adaptive traffic light control algorithm based on semi-real...
