This paper explores the notion and usefulness of nonstationary velocity profiles for high priority emergency vehicle transit on automated highways. These profiles are intended for use in the link layer of the hierarchical control architecture defined by the California Partners for Automated Transit and Highways (PATH) program. A non-stationary velocity profile which can be used to circulate tra...

We analyze the spatially distributed impacts of transport investment in urban highways and public with a novel methodology based on capabilities online technology to replicate (unobserved) condition without highways. This is upon intensive use Google Maps API (GMA) obtain travel times between each origin-destination pair at highly detailed level reveal effects new infrastructure different zones...

We present a method to predict the time thatwill be needed to traverse a certain stretch of freeway whendeparture is at a certain time in the future. The predic-tion is done on the basis of the current traffic situation incombination with historical data.We argue that, for our purpose, the current situation of astretch of freeway is well summarized by the ‘current status...

We propose a Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol design for a vehicle to send safety messages to other vehicles. We develop a QoS model for safety messages consistent with the active safety systems literature. Each message has a range and useful lifetime. The QoS target is to have each message be received with high probability within its specified lifetime by each vehicle within its specified ...

background: contamination of the environment due to heavy metals is a major concern to human life and the environment. this study was conducted to investigate and quantify the copper and zinc concentrations in industrial estates soil in arak, iran. methods: four industrial estates were considered for the experimental design, including arak 1, arak 2, arak 3, and ghotbe sanaati. for preliminary ...

afghanistan is a land-locked country that depends on its neighboring countries to transit essential commodities. iran, for its proximity and access to the high seas, seems to have the most economical route to meet afghanistan’s needs. however, this country did not pursue such an economical route due to its western tendencies and its foreign policies which were completely different with iran’s. ...
