In Essex, EssexITS (a joint partnership of Essex County Council, Atkins and Siemens), has taken a hands-on approach to assist the County Council in carrying out its responsibility under TMA2004. EssexITS has developed a number of Integrated Urban Traffic Management and Control (UTMC) strategies to manage Essex’s road network, tackle congestion and proactively prevent or reduce the effect of con...

This paper describes the seasonal abundance of Culex quinquefasciatus in the rural and urban areas of the East and West Godavari districts (EGDT and WGDT) of Andhra Pradesh, India. The per man-hour density (PMHD) was collected from seven units in EGDT and two units in WGDT, which comprised rural and urban areas. The highest infection and infectivity rates were found in the rural areas of Rajahm...

in developing and newly industrialized countries, population growth and migration contribute immensely to the development of megacities and mega urban areas. in most cases, the rapid development ofcities has far-reaching consequences for the ecosystem in general and the hydrological cycle in particular. the developments in china within the last decades show an interesting, but complex setting. ...

VANETs, as a subset of the MANETs, have progressed remarkably in recent years. These networks have an important role in improving traffic, road safety and driver service. In vehicle Networks, vehicle can Communication by vehicle-to-vehicle communication. Since there are fewer vehicles in the environment, there is no vehicle-to-vehicle connection in some areas. Therefore, they use Road Side Unit...

Predicting urban growth is important for practical reasons, and also for the challenge it presents to theoretical frameworks for cluster dynamics [1–3]. Recently, the model of diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) [4,5] has been applied to describe urban growth [1], and results in tree-like dendritic structures which have a core or “central business district” (CBD). The DLA model predicts that th...

The Change of Support Problem (COSP) reflects a possibility that the outcome of an urban analysis may critically depend on the researcher’s choice of territorial units. To verify this assumption, the present study examines the association between population growth and population size of localities, using population growth data for two levels of geographic resolution 4,667 local administrative u...
