F the past 20 years weaving segments have been analyzed and designed using the methodologies and procedures provided in the 1965 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM).’ With the increase in urban growth in the mid-1960s, it was quickly realized that the procedures provided in the 1965 HCM for the analysis and design of weaving segments were in need of a critical review. In 1969 the National Cooperative...

The core methodology of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2010 for freeway analyses is based on Free-Flow Speed (FFS). Moreover, weaving segments are major elements of freeway facilities that form where two one-way traffic streams intersect by merging and diverging maneuvers. Hence, this study used three different methods to compute FFS of a ramp-weaving segment, and then employed the proposed ...

Calibration is a conventional method which is utilized to adapt traffic models based on local situations in order to achieve best results. One of the issues regarding the efficiency of this method is whether traffic models should be calibrated only in one or two major cities of a country or calibrated based upon a comprehensive selection of cities. Therefore, this study, which has used the actu...

Various techniques for video analysis, concept mapping, semantic search and metadata management are part of the current features of the TIB|AV Portal as described in this demo. The segment identification and ontology annotation make the portal a good platform to support the Linked Data and Media. Weaving into a machine-readable metadata format will complete this task.

The previous implementations of dynamic weaving in AOP (AspectOriented Programming) systems have drawbacks although it is receiving growing interests in both the academia and the industry. Typical dynamic weaving techniques are divided into two kinds of levels in terms of granularity of aspect weaving: a class-level and an object-level weaving. Either of weaving techniques also has each problem...

1 Weaving is defined as the crossing of two streams travelling in the same direction along a 2 significant section of the road without the assistance of traffic control devices. Merging and 3 diverging vehicles need to make one or more lane-changes in a limited space and time, 4 determined by the weaving section length. This situation creates intensive lane-change 5 maneuvers, combined with hea...

In this paper we present current state of principles and applications in static and dynamic weaving. We are concentrating on static weaving in AspectJ and dynamic weaving in PROSE PROgrammable extenSions of sErvice. The contribution of this paper is in analyses of both approaches to weaving which we aim to apply as essential mechanisms when constructing software systems by automatic evolution.

Due to the poor transfer organization in urban public transport terminal, pedestrian crowd are often forced to weaving in their transfer flow lines. Frequent weaving behaviors not only decrease passengers’ transfer comfort, but may also trigger serious crowd disaster such as trampling. In order to get accurate understanding of the weaving features of pedestrian crowd and analyze the relevant ev...
