In this paper we are processing a newly discovered Roman road which is located on the mountain Bisina, in the northeast Bosnia. The road is paved with large stone blocks and it’s long about 2,2 km. Approximate road width is about 2,5 and 3,5 meters. Namely, it is very difficult to determine the exact width because the curbs are  missing on both sides of the road, while in some places the Roman road is partially  covered with layers of soil. One local Roman road, visible in a length of about 550 m.  connected the Roman settlement formed around Gradina in the village of Mramorka,  where an early Christian basilica was discovered, with the mentioned Roman route. The remains of the Roman roads on Bišina can not be identified, based on written and epigraphic sources, with some of already confirmed Roman roads. Nevertheless, mentioned road can be approximately integrated into the network of Roman roads on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In my opinion, this direction is a continuation of the road that led from Salona to the interior of Dalmatia. It is the road that has  been made during the administration of Publius Cornelius Dolabella, who connected  the capital of the province of Dalmatia with the settlement of HE [....?] ASTEL [....?]  DAESITATIVM. Findings on the ground indicated that one sequel of this Roman  road has lead to the north. The assumed direction of the Roman road is: Breza / Dabravina – mountain Zvijezda – Konjuh – Kaštijelj – Bišina – Pantelići – Šeher – Matkovac – Caparde – Kulina – southeastern slopes Majevica – the valley of the river Sapna.  This direction was the shortest communication between Salona and Sirmium. The discovery of the Roman road on the Bišina Mountain is very important because it indicates that inaccessible mountain massifs, which are now uninhabited and difficult to pass, were not an obstacle for the Romans during the construction of roads, as previously believed. Also, the discovery of the road indicates that we are still so far from the complete reconstruction of the Roman road network in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The ruins at Yanıkhan form the remains of a Late Roman village in the interior of Rough Cilicia some 8 kilometres inland from the village of Limonlu on the road to Canbazlı (see Fig. 1). The site has not been frequently visited by scholars, and the first certain reference to its existence was made by the late Professor Michael Gough after his visit on 2 September 1959. Yanıkhan is now occupied only by the Yürüks who for years have wintered on the southern slopes of Sandal Dağ. The ancient settlement at Yanıkhan consisted of a village covering several acres. The remains are still extensive, and some, especially the North Basilica, are very well preserved, but there has been considerable disturbance in recent years as stone and rubble have been removed in order to create small arable clearings. The visible remains include many domestic buildings constructed both from polygonal masonry without mortar and from mortar and rubble with coursed smallstone facing. There are several underground cisterns and a range of olive presses. The countryside around the settlement has been terraced for agricultural purposes in antiquity, and is, like the settlement itself, densely covered with scrub oak and wild olive trees. The most impressive remains are those of the two basilical churches which are of little artistic pretension, but considerable architectural interest. The inscription which forms the substance of this article was found on the lintel block of the main west entrance of the South Basilica.

The Impact

The object of the study is the improvement of traffic management on the main street and road network of the city. Actually, there are many techniques that allow simulating the traffic flows with sufficient accuracy. One of such models is a mathematical model, which allows calculating the main characteristics of a traffic flow on the basis of a few initial data and is considered as a queuing system.Modeling allows pre-determining the impact of traffic management measures on the existing street and road network without creating interference for drivers, making changes to the design of road, increasing the traffic volume, as well as involving the possible overloaded areas.An analysis of the researches of scientists who have considered similar methods in their works had been performed. The fundamental flaw of the mentioned works is that in none of them the study of the model of a real road section was performed for verifying of the model adequacy. Modeling allows understanding more accurately the behavior of an object with less approximations than mathematical models, and provides less researching and forecasting of the system behavior with significant changes in the initial concepts. It is indicated that for the first approximation it is expedient to use mathematical models, and for clarifying the characteristics – to use non- mathematical methods, in particular, simulation.It is proved that simulation is a powerful tool for studying the behavior of real systems. It is mainly used to study situations and systems that can be described as queuing systems.Using the queuing theory, it becomes possible to perform certain calculations and determine indicators of effectiveness of the queuing system.Obtained result of the indicators will help to determine the street and road network areas where a traffic jam may form for any reason, where the road will be overloaded. This makes it possible to develop a high-quality algorithm for quick elimination of traffic jam.

The paper investigates the accidents and fatalities on the main road network in the North-West Region of Romania over a period of 4 years (2015– 2018). The aim of the paper is to highlight some shortcomings and suggest possible improvements of the road network in order to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities. Detailed analyses, including statistical and spatial statistical analyses, were conducted on the accidents involving goods and public transport vehicles considering the scale of their impact. As a result, black corridors and vulnerable municipalities were identified. They were found to be related to the reduced main road density and high levels of freight traffic transit. In conclusion, with one of the lowest motorization rates in the EU and given the important efforts already made by the police, improving road network in Romania becomes the key for reducing accident and fatality rates in the region. In this regard, it is suggested that motorways and ring roads are needed in order to bypass the vulnerable municipalities. The results of this research may enable planners and administrations to act strategically to improve road safety in the critical areas, to prioritize actions for road network development and to formulate better strategies to ensure road safety.

During the war a large new quarry was opened in the Longmyndian rocks of Haughmond Hill, Shropshire. It is near the south-east edge of the hill, to the west of the road running north from Upton Magna and one mile from the village. On the sketch-map in the Shrewsbury Memoir (p. 58) two arrows are shown, at about this locality, recording dips of 50° in a south-easterly direction. I was told that there was a very small quarry here before the large quarry was excavated. The present quarry is even larger than that near Haughmond Abbey (Shrewsbury Memoir, p. 48), on the north-west side of the Pre-Cambrian outcrop, and the two quarries offer extensive and splendidly displayed exposures of Longmyndian rocks, one in the coarse-grained Western Longmyndian and the other in the fine-grained Eastern Longmyndian.

An accurate map matching is an essential but difficult step in mapping raw float car trajectories onto a digital road network. This task is challenging because of the unavoidable positioning errors of GPS devices and the complexity of the road network structure. Aiming to address these problems, in this study, we focus on three improvements over the existing hidden Markov model: (i) The direction feature between the current and historical points is used for calculating the observation probability; (ii) With regard to the reachable cost between the current road section and the destination, we overcome the shortcoming of feature rarefaction when calculating the transition probability with low sampling rates; (iii) The directional similarity shows a good performance in complex intersection environments. The experimental results verify that the proposed algorithm can reduce the error rate in intersection matching and is suitable for GPS devices with low sampling rates.

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.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> With the gradual opening of floating car trajectory data, it is possible to extract road network information from it. Currently, most road network extraction algorithms use unified thresholds to ignore the density difference of trajectory data, and only consider the trajectory shape without considering the direction of the trajectory, which seriously affects the geometric precision and topological accuracy of their results. Therefore, an adaptive radius centroid drift clustering method is proposed in this paper, which can automatically adjust clustering parameters according to the track density and the road width, using trajectory direction to complete the topological connection of roads. The algorithm is verified by the floating car trajectory data of a day in Futian District, Shenzhen. The experimental results are qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed with ones of the other two methods. It indicates that the road network data extracted by this algorithm has a significant improvement in geometric precision and topological accuracy, and which is suitable for big data processing.</p>
