The decision of traffic congestion degree is an important research topic today. In severe traffic jams, the speed of the car is slow, and the speed estimate is very inaccurate.This paper first uses the data collected by Google Maps to reclassify road levels by using analytic hierarchy process. The vehicle speed, road length, normal travel time, traffic volume, and road level are selected as the input features of the limit learning machine, and the delay coefficient is selected. As the limit learning machine as the output value, 10-fold cross-validation is used. Compared with the traditional neural network, it is found that the training speed of the limit learning machine is 10 times that of the traditional neural network, and the mean square error is 0.8 times that of the traditional neural network. The stability of the model Significantly higher than traditional neural networks.Finally, the delay coefficient predicted by the extreme learning machine and the normal travel time are combined with the knowledge of queuing theory to finally predict the delay time.

In the last decades, the Italian road transport system has been characterized by severe and consistent traffic congestion and in particular Rome is one of the Italian cities most affected by this problem. In this study, a LevenbergMarquardt (LM) artificial neural network heuristic model was used to predict the traffic flow of non-autonomous vehicles. Traffic datasets were collected using both inductive loop detectors and video cameras as acquisition systems and selecting some parameters including vehicle speed, time of day, traffic volume and number of vehicles. The model showed a training, test and regression value (R2) of 0.99892, 0.99615 and 0.99714 respectively. The results of this research add to the growing body of literature on traffic flow modelling and help urban planners and traffic managers in terms of the traffic control and the provision of convenient travel routes for pedestrians and motorists.

This study covers the freight vehicle, which clears the custom clearance process for Kathmandu and transports the same goods to Kathmandu from Birgunj. In this study average travel time for freight vehicles from Birgunj to Nagdhunga has been studied, along with the factors affecting the travel time from Birgunj to Nagdhunga. License plate monitoring method of the freight vehicles was done to find the average travel time and a questionnaire survey was done to identify the factors affecting travel time of the freight vehicle. The travel time from Birgunj to Nagdhunga is different for different types of, vehicle and good. The fastest average travel time is of fixed container of 40 feet size with 23.2 hours and longest average time is for fixed container of 20 feet size with 28.95 hours. The average travel time for non-degradable goods is 26.5 hours and for degradable goods is 22.38 hours. Major factors affecting the travel time are traffic congestion along the route, bad road condition along the route and hilly road with sharp bends, turns and grade.

An expert system has been proposed to estimate the relationship between the vehicle pre-braking speed and the length of the skid mark. Since the length of the skid mark varies with many factors, there is no a single formula or equation which can represent the relationship between the vehicle pre-braking speed and the length of the skid mark. Therefore in this paper an expert system is built to estimate the relationship between the vehicle pre-braking speed and the length of the skid mark. The radial basis function (RBF) neural network is used for the expert system due to its shorter training time and higher accuracy. There are many factors affecting the skid mark. In this paper we choose 7 factors, i.e. brand of vehicle, vehicle displacement, year of manufacture, vehicle weight, vehicles with and without ABS, roadway surface, and vehicle speed for the training in the RBF neural network. The total number of the training data for the RBF neural network is 2619. The results showed that high accuracy is obtained for estimating the relationship between the vehicle pre-braking speed and the length of the skid mark. Thus the expert system proposed in this paper is demonstrated to be a suitable system for estimating the relationship between the vehicle pre-braking speed and the length of the skid mark.

Marble is one of the most popular decorative elements. Marble quality varies depending on its vein patterns and color, which are the two most important factors affecting marble quality and class. The manual classification of marbles is likely to lead to various mistakes due to different optical illusions. However, computer vision minimizes these mistakes thanks to artificial intelligence and machine learning. The present study proposes the Convolutional Neural Network- (CNN-) with genetic algorithm- (GA) Wavelet Kernel- (WK-) Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) (CNN–GA-WK-ELM) approach. Using CNN architectures such as AlexNet, VGG-19, SqueezeNet, and ResNet-50, the proposed approach obtained 4 different feature vectors from 10 different marble images. Later, Genetic Algorithm (GA) was used to optimize adjustable parameters, i.e. k, 1, and m, and hidden layer neuron number in Wavelet Kernel (WK) – Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) and to increase the performance of ELM. Finally, 4 different feature vector parameters were optimized and classified using the WK-ELM classifier. The proposed CNN–GA-WK-ELM yielded an accuracy rate of 98.20%, 96.40%, 96.20%, and 95.60% using AlexNet, SequeezeNet, VGG-19, and ResNet-50, respectively.

Road capacity, traffic safety, and energy efficiency can be extremely improved by forming platoons with a small intra-vehicle spacing. Automated controllers obtain vehicle speed, acceleration, and position through vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), which allows the performance of platoon communication to make a significant impact on the stability of the platoon. To the best of our knowledge, there is not much research relating to packet delay and packet dropping rate of platoon communication based on the IEEE 802.11p broadcasting. In this paper, we introduce platoon structure model, vehicle control model, and communication model for a single platoon scenario. By utilizing Markov process and M/G/1/K queuing theory, we put forward an analytical model to assess the property of intra-vehicle communication. The analytical model is validated by simulations and the influence of communication parameters on intra-vehicle communication performance are discussed. In addition, the experimental results demonstrate that the IEEE 802.11p-based intra-vehicle communication guarantee the stability of platoon.

High quality bus service is considered as an efficient way to mitigate traffic congestion in big cities. Global positioning system (GPS) data provide sufficient sources to evaluate the performance of bus vehicles that both passengers and operator concern about. This paper aims to propose a framework to assess the operational performance of bus routes based on the GPS trajectory data collected from Jinan, China. Several important indicators of bus operation including travel time of routes, section running time, dwell time and bus bunching have been studied. The results show that the travel time of routes follow right skewed distributions. Moreover, section running time between two consecutive stations varies in different time period and it is larger in evening peak hours. Additionally, the dwell time has been discussed and the results show that there is no big variation in most stations except some stations, which provides a help to identify the key stations. Furthermore, we propose an approach to detect the bunching points. The results indicate the bunching points are easy to occur in the peak hours and the congested road section.

The availability of public transport is one of the solutions to traffic congestion in Jakarta. Focusing on angkot, one of the public transport types in Jakarta, this study discusses a model and simulations to investigate several factors that affect its lateral stability. Those factors include rear tire inflation pressure, passenger configuration, velocity, and downhill inclination angle. The results show that the stability of an angkot is proportional to the rear tires cornering stiffness. It also has an indirect relationship with the passenger configuration within the angkot. Moreover, the stability of an angkot decreases as its velocity and the angle of the inclined road increase. In general, this study is expected to have a contribution to the development of public transport in Jakarta, especially angkot.
