Summary. With the rapid growth of urban traffic, the gap between traffic demand and supply is increasing by the day, and traffic congestion has become a part of urban Indian life. The following aspects have become important for transportation planners and managers: identification of the frequently congested road sections, estimating their influence on the entire road network, and improving the connectivity and accessibility of the whole road network. Identification of congestion metric is the

INTRODUCTION
Injuries in road traffic represent a significant global public issue. Road traffic is the most complex and most dangerous system. According to estimates by the World Health Organization, each year 1.24 million people around the world are killed in road traffic accidents, whereas the number of injured ranges between 20 and 50 million [1]. Research in Europe indicates that in 2016, 25500 people lost their lives on EU roads, and further 135000 people were seriously injured on the

We investigate the problem of adaptive control of traffic lights using real-time traffic information collected by a wireless sensor network (WSN). Previous studies mainly focused on optimizing the intervals of green lights in a fixed sequence of traffic lights, and ignored some traffic flow’s characteristics and special traffic circumstances. In this paper, an adaptive traffic light control scheme has been proposed, in which the sequence of traffic lights can be adjusted dynamically in

INTRODUCTION
The traffic control and road safety are a major issue for contemporary society. The United Nations declared the period 2011-2020 the “Decade of Action for Road Safety” [1]. In the White paper from 2011, the European Commission suggested a new approach towards a “zero-vision” on road safety, in order to eliminate the fatalities and severe injuries occurring on the European Union roads. With decision № 946/22.12.2011, the Ministry Council of Bulgaria adopted the National strategy

With the urbanization process speeding up, the construction of City Road increased rapidly. So limited road resource is often occupied during the road construction, which makes road capacity of construction affected area greatly decrease. Then the contradiction of city original transport supply becomes more prominent. Therefore, it is very important to make a reasonable traffic organization plan. At first According to the present traffic investigation and construction site management program

Every year, the number of vehicles on roads increases and congestions are created. Individual intersections do not have unlimited capacity. Simulations help to predict possible future problems and thus the possibility to prevent them. Accordingly, at intersections on Vajnorská street, a traffic survey was carried out using video cameras.

Several abnormal driving behaviors in violation of traffic rules can be observed on the road network in Kuwait. These behaviors would likely hinder traffic flow and can worsen traffic congestion. These behaviors may also cause simulation model outputs to deviate from actual traffic conditions. Such aberrant behaviors have not been addressed in the literature, either in terms of the rate of occurrence or in terms of the factors influencing drivers’ engagement in these behaviors. This study

Every increase in traffic volume on road network in towns can lead to overcrowding of road network. This results in undesirable external costs such as traffic congestions, which cause high loses in time during transportation, increased fuel consumption and thus higher production of greenhouse gases and noise. This all ultimately reduces the attractiveness of the area. The increase of traffic volume and therefrom derived traffic problems are needed to be solved during traffic-capacity assessment

The method divides an image into several ring areas, and calculates the HOG feature on each ring area. In the matching process, the weight is assigned to each ring for calculating the distance of HOG feature between tested image and reference image.

The paper studies the possibilities to design a fair manifold tariff on a long traffic line. If a single tariff is used on a long bus or railway line, passengers travelling long distances are favoured at the expense of those travelling short distances. The fairest approach to tariff is setting an individual tariff for every origin–destination relation of line stops that expresses real travel costs. However, sometimes the individual tariff is too complicated and is therefore replaced by double

In this paper, RMD and Fourier algorithm were adopted to simulate and analyze a self-similar model of FGN. They generated the necessary sequence of self-similar traffic.

It has been shown that road geometry has a great impact on overall energy consumption and emissions. Some roads connect traffic origins and destinations directly. On the other hand, some use winding, indirect routes. Indirect connections result in longer distances driven and increased fuel consumption. A similar effect is observed on congested roads and mountain roads with many changes in altitude. Therefore, we propose a framework to assess road networks based on energy consumption. This

Despite the rapid and continuous progress in the construction of vehicles and accompanying improving road infrastructure, the road safety issue remains very serious. Especially, it concerns intersections and road junctions where nearly 30% of road accidents take place. The paper is focused on a new intelligent path displaying support system to be installed on intersections of complex geometry combined with multiphase traffic lights. It consists of optical projection of two different horizontal

In the work we performed a review of studies of foreign scholars on changing the reaction time of the driver depending on various road conditions, namely the change in the response time when using the traffic light regulation. Earlier by the authors of this article have already been carried out research in the field of throughput of a site of a highway with traffic regulation, which showed that this value depends on the time of reaction of the driver. In this article the estimation of how much

The article proposes methodological principles for substantiating the specialization of main railway lines based on the primary types of passenger or freight traffic in order to improve the level of transport services, economic efficiency, and reliability of the transportation process. The search for a solution to the problem provides a rational distribution of transport flows and investment measures, with the subsequent finding of a compromised operation for a set of effective alternatives.

What makes it particularly difficult to prevent such attacks is the fact that they take place in a space of daily life, in places where pedestrian and traffic zones meet. The development of modern civilisation, in which the movement of people and goods is common and necessary, resulted in a vast expansion of vehicle traffic zones.

Traffic control systems that use traffic models to predict changes and disruptions in vehicle flows have to use vehicle speed-prediction models.

With the improvement of people’s material living standards, cars have become the main means of transportation for people, but the growing number of vehicles has led to more traffic accidents. According to statistics, fatigue driving is the main cause of traffic accidents[1,2].Under normal circumstances, the medical community believes that there are two reasons for fatigue driving, one is because the driver’s attention is too concentrated, and the other is that the body does not

The intersection of a public road with a railway line in one level, called a rail-road crossing, is a particularly dangerous place due to the traffic flows crossing it. The regulations give absolute priority to a rail vehicle over a public road user; in addition, significant differences in the masses and speeds of moving vehicles require traffic regulation consisting of adequate passage protection. To this end, the road on which motor vehicles is equipped with road signs informing drivers that
