Analyzing motion patterns in traffic videos can be exploited directly to generate high-level descriptions of the video contents. Such descriptions may further be employed in different traffic applications such as traffic phase detection and abnormal event detection. One of the most recent and successful unsupervised methods for complex traffic scene analysis is based on topic models. In this pa...

Draft traffic impact assessment (TIA) guidelines for various landuses in general, and for high traffic generating buildings in particular, were published in Iran in the middle of 2016. In formulating that report the Traffic Committee of the Iranian Building Engineering Order reviewed international experience, including that of Australia. Traffic impact assessment started in Australia in the 196...

Traffic classification plays an important role in many aspects of network management such as identifying type of the transferred data, detection of malware applications, applying policies to restrict network accesses and so on. Basic methods in this field were using some obvious traffic features like port number and protocol type to classify the traffic type. However, recent changes in applicat...

The current neutrino oscillation theory asserts that neutrinos are massive subatomic particles, and can undergo their flavor oscillation. First in this article, we examine carefully the current oscillation theory, and argue that a massless neutrino oscillation mechanism based on the Weyl equations for neutrinos is also a feasible theory. This massless neutrino oscillation mechanism resolves bot...

Traffic conditions vary over time, and therefore, traffic behavior should be modeled as a stochastic process. In this study, a probabilistic approach utilizing Autocorrelation is proposed to model the stochastic variation of traffic conditions, and subsequently, predict the traffic conditions. Using autocorrelation of the time series samples of density and flow which are collected from segments...

abstract: gridlock is an extreme traffic state where vehicle cannot move at all. this research studies the development of gridlock by theoretical and numerical analysis. it is shown that the development of gridlock can be divided into several stages. the core of the development is the evolution of congestion loop. a congestion loop is comprised of a number of consecutively connected spillover l...

Organic farming systems still depend on intensive, mechanical soil tillage. Frequent passes by machinery traffic cause substantial soil compaction that threatens soil health. Adopting practices as reduced tillage and organic matter retention on the soil surface are considered effective ways to control soil compaction. In tropical regions, however, the acceleration of soil organic matter decompo...

One of main issues in mobile wireless networks is how to deal with moving terminals. As the movement implies a change of access point, the wireless network must be able to determine the location of moving terminals in order to set-up a connection and route incoming messages. Location management is for tracking and locating the mobile terminal. In this paper we propose a novel location managemen...
