In the present paper, the serious landslide phenomena that make difficult the residential development of Kanalia village are studied. Kanalia village is located on a slope of the eastern bank of Roustianitis torrent, the main hydrographie axis of the broader area, which is one of the main branches of Sperchios River. The geological structure of the area (sandstones and siltstones of the Pindos zone flysch) as well as the hydro meteorological and climatological conditions favoring the formation of locally very thick weathering mantle and also the development of seasonal aquifers, were at first studied. As it was confirmed, the main causes of landslide phenomena manifestation are related to the above conditions, to the erosional activity of water in the slopes of the hydrographie axes and finally to the human interventions.These phenomena are observed in five (5) main sites with most important the one affected the South - Southwest part of the village covering the area from KanaliaGardiki provincial road until Roustianitis torrent downwards. In that case, the periodic re-activations of the sliding phenomena during the last forty years have caused full destruction and abandonment of this part of the village, since no relevant measures have been taken so far. The remaining sites are restricted in some parts of the village road network, without affecting residential zones.For the protection and development of the residential area of Kanalia village, the following measures were recommended for the improvement of the ground conditions in the slope affected areas: (a) drainage both of the surficial and ground waters in the vulnerable zones, (b) slope supporting works with gabion walls (flexible structures), (c) protection of the stream slopes from erosion and undermining with gabion walls and gully dams, (d) tree plantations, and (e) suitable and appropriate foundation of the new constructions on the stable basement or foundation using specific types, if necessary. It is suggested the application of these measures for the safety of the road network, the good operation of which constitutes a prerequisite for a safe residential development.

Abstract. Research on determination of spatial patterns in urban car accidents plays an important role in improving urban traffic safety. While traditional methods of spatial clustering of car accidents mostly rely on the two dimensional assumption, many spatial events defy this assumption. For instance, car accidents are constrained by the road network and rely on the one dimensional assumption of street network. The aim of this study is to detect and statistically prioritize the car accident-prone segments of an urban road network by a network-based point pattern analysis. The first step involves estimating the density of car accidents in the one dimensional space of the road network using the network kernel density estimation (NKDE) method with equal-split continuous and discontinuous kernel functions. In the second step, due to the lack of statistical prioritization of the accident-prone segments with NKDE method, the output of the NKDE method is integrated with network-constrained Getis-Ord Gi* statistics to measure and compare the accident-prone segments based on the statistical parameter of Z-Score. The integration of these two methods can improve identification of accident-prone segments which is effective in the enhancing of urban safety and sustainability. These methods were tested using the data of damage car accidents in Tehran District 3 during 2013–2017. We also performed the Network K-Function to display the significant clustering of damage car accident points in the network space at different scales. The results have demonstrated that the damage car accidents are significantly clustered.

The floating car data (FCD) is widely used to estimate the time-varying OD demands in recent years. The one of the most important factors influencing the application performance of FCD is the completeness of FCD route data. This paper is intended to develop Floyd route mending algorithm based on dynamic travel time for FCD. In this framework, the raw FCD and the processed FCD are used to identify the problem of data missing based on topological structure of the road network. Then, an approach is developed to mend route based on improved Floyd route mending algorithm based on the GIS map. The approach is designed in a way that takes full advantage of the dynamic characteristics of travel time and quick routes scan. The paper applies the proposed methodology to mend routes and derive OD demands of FCD for the Western 3rd Ring-Road corridor network in Beijing, China. It is shown from the statistical analysis that the approach is accurate and the OD demands of FCD can reflect the characteristics of OD demands of all vehicles in the road network.

The Given

In this paper we propose a combined land-use and transportation model for work trips with constraints on the road network capacity. A Lowry-type land-use model is used to distribute all the given activities into various residential and employment zones. Trip distributions are based on the equilibrium round-trip cost, which is obtained from a network equilibrium model. A bilevel programming approach is used to determine the maximum number of trips that can be accommodated by the road network subject to the network-capacity constraints.

In our fast-growing world, we need to create increasingly efficient systems to ensure further growth and sustainability. This also applies to transportation, where a key limitation is the bottle-necks of road network capacity. To eliminate, or at least, to moderate these bottlenecks, they must first be localised. In this case study, a model is proposed to objectively identify the weak points of the road infrastructure in the Western Hungarian region, a typical part of the Hungarian road net-work, based on automated data input. This way, there is no need to visually analyse the road net-work on site, but it is possible to evaluate the available information and suggest efficient measures from the distance. The model is suitable for general application, meaning it can serve other regions or countries as well, and enables macro-level decision-makers to take steps to eliminate those weak points. A fuzzy signature rule base is applied by the authors, which systematically maps and models the various attributes of the road network. The model currently contains more than 20 independent variables as inputs, but they can be easily expanded or replaced if further inputs need to be included.

Kota Semarang mengalami peningkatan pergerakan lalu lintas setiap tahunnya, khususnya  Kecamatan Semarang Tengah, yang memiliki fungsi sebagai kawasan pusat perbelanjaan, perdagangan dan jasa, perkantoran, dan pendidikan. Pemerintah Kota Semarang telah berupaya mengatasi permasalahan lalu lintas dengan menerapkan sistem satu arah pada ruas Jalan Gajahmada, Jalan Pandanaran, Jalan MH. Thamrin, Jalan Pemuda, Jalan Imam Bonjol Selatan, Jalan Kapten Piere Tendean, dan Jalan Indraprasta. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui gambaran efektivitas atas penerapan sistem satu arah pada ruas jalan tersebut dengan menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif dan kuantitatif hasil keluaran EMME2 versi 9.5. Hasil dari penelitian ini yakni setelah diterapkannya sistem satu arah masih terdapat ruas jalan yang mengalami penurunan kinerja jalan, yaitu ruas jalan Imam Bonjol Selatan belum sesuai dengan persyaratan fungsi jalan karena lebar badan jalannya hanya 10 meter sedangkan dalam persyaratan untuk fungsi jalan arteri sekunder lebar badan paling sedikit 11 meter, ruas Jalan Kapten Piere Tendean dan Pandanaran nilai DS 0.75 pada waktu sore hari dan berada pada tingkat pelayanan D pada ruas Jalan Pandanaran sedangkan tingkat pelayanan E berada pada ruas Jalan Kapten Piere Tendean. Selain itu, pada ruas Jalan Imam Bonjol Selatan, Kapten Piere Tendean, dan Pandanaran masih belum sesuai dengan indikator kinerja sistem jaringan jalan untuk meminimalisasi atau mengurangi ketertundaan total dan panjang perjalanan total karena kecepatan perjalanan menurun dan kapasitas jalan belum mampu menampung beban lalu lintas. Solusi penanganan yang dilakukan adalah nilai DS harus 0.75 dan maksimal menunjukkan ditingkat pelayanan C, Jalan Kapten Piere Tendean, dan Jalan Pandanaran, pelebaran jalan 1 meter pada ruas Jalan Imam Bonjol Selatan dan pengaturan off street parking pada ruas Jalan Imam Bonjol Selatan, Kapten Piere Tendean, dan Pandanaran. Kata kunci: EMME2 versi 9.5, kinerja sistem jaringan jalan, permasalahan lalu lintas, sistem satu arah.   Performance Analysis of One - Way Roads in Central Semarang District, Semarang : The city of Semarang is experiencing an increase in the movement of traffic every year, especially in Central Semarang District which has a function as a shopping center, trade and service area, office area, and education area. The Semarang City Government has tried to overcome traffic problems by implementing a one - way system on Gajahmada, Pandanaran, MH. Thamrin, Pemuda, Imam Bonjol Selata n, Piere Tendean, and Indraprasta streets . This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the implementation of the one - way system on the road using the analysis method, which wa s descriptive and quantitative output of EMME2 version 9.5. The re sults showed that after the implementation of one - way system, there was still decreased performance in some roads. The road segment in Imam Bonjol Selatan street had not fulfill the requirements for road functions because the width of the road wa s only 10 meters, mean while according to the requirements for secondary arterial road functions it should be at least 11 meters. The DS value of Piere Tendean and Pandanaran Roads was 0.75 in the afternoon . Furthermore, the level service of Pandanaran Road was D w hile Captain Piere Tendean Road section was E . In addition, Imam Bonjol Selatan, Captain Piere Tendean and Pandanaran Roads we re not in accordance with the performance indicators for the road network ing system to minimize or reduce total delays and total t rip length because travel speeds were declining and road capacity had not been able to accommodate traffic loads. T o overcome this problem the DS value must be 0.75 and the maximum service level should be C in Piere Tendean and Pandanaran Road s , widening 1 meter road on Imam Bonjol Selatan section, and setting off street parking on Imam Bonjol Selatan Road, Captain Piere Tendean, and Pandanaran. Keywords : EMME2 version 9.5, road network system performance, traffic problems, one - way system
