Solving the volterra integral form of the lane emden equations by homotopy perturbation method and adomian decompostion method
… analyzed for solving Volterra integral from of the Lane-Emden equations. The result from both method are compared with the exact solution. It has been shown that these two methods are capable to get the similar result with exact solution, when solving Volterra integral from of the Lane-Emden …

Development of vehicle lane changing model within u-turn facilities
… channelized and aided with splitting islands in the middle so that drivers can be on their desired trajectories and the road segment are often accompanied with weaving, merging and diverging movement. The objectives are to determine the speed differences (Vd), reaction time (RT) and safe distance …

An observational study of freeway lane-changing behaviour
… one who has driven on a freeway has observed the phenomenon of lanechanging. This phenomenon is, of course, caused by the desire of most of the drivers not to be in a slow-moving lane. Therefore, the average driver who finds himself in such a lane moves into a neighboring faster lane, usually …

Development of a strategy model of the driver
… was postulated for describing driver behavior in the lane-keeping task, To verify the appropriateness of this class of models, 10 student subjects were chosen to be modeled. Each subject performed the lane-keeping task in a highway driving simulator for five minutes. Each subject's time histories …

The Second Lane Debate: Voices from the Wilderness Surge Across the Nation
<p>In February and March 1834, students at the Lane Seminary in Cincinnati, Ohio held a series of debates over eighteen days that resulted in virtually the entire student body adopting the belief that the people of the southern United States needed to emancipate their slaves immediately. This …

Lane changing models for arterial traffic
Driving behavior models for lane-changing and acceleration form an integral component of microscopic traffic simulators and determine its value in evaluation of different traffic management strategies. The state-of-art model for lane changing adopts a two-level framework: the first level involves a …

Lane departure avoidance system
… thousands of fatalities per year worldwide. This thesis briefly reviews different types of active safety systems designed to reduce the number of accidents. Focusing on lane departure, a leading cause of crashes involving fatalities, we examine a lane-keeping system proposed by Minoiu Enache et …

Modeling lane-changing behavior in presence of exclusive lanes
Driving behavior is significantly affected by the presence of exclusive lanes. Particularly, unlimited access to exclusive lanes result significant amount of special type of lane-changing actions. The objective of this thesis is to develop an improved lane-changing model that has a generalized …

An Analysis of Traffic Behavior at Freeway Diverge Sections using Traffic Microsimulation Software
… evaluate and plan for transportation facilities. The intent of these models is to estimate the second-by-second vehicle movements and interactions on such facilities. Due to constraints related to time, budget, and availability of data, these models are typically designed in such a way where the …

Integrating driving behavior modeling
… integrated driving behavior modeling, based on the concepts of short-term goal and short-term plan is proposed. Drivers are assumed to conceive and perform short-term plans in order to accomplish short-term goals. This behavioral framework captures drivers' planning capabilities and allows …

Development Of An Artificial Neural Networks Model To Estimate Delay Using Toll Plaza Transaction Data
In spite of the most up-to-date investigation of the relevant techniques to analyze the traffic characteristics and traffic operations at a toll plaza, there has not been any note worthy explorations evaluating delay from toll transaction data and using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) at a toll …

Multiple Solutions on a Ball for a Generalized Lane Emden Equation
In this work we study the Generalized Lane-Emden equation and the interplay between the exponents involved and their consequences on the existence and non existence of radial solutions on a unit ball in n dimensions. We extend the analysis to the phase plane for a clear understanding of the …

Discrete Littlewood-Paley-Stein Theory And Wolff Potentials On Homogeneous Spaces And Multi-Parameter Hardy Spaces
… I, We establish a new atomic decomposition of the multi-parameter Hardy spaces of homogeneous type and obtain the associated $H^p-L^p$ and $H^p-H^p$ boundedness criterions for singular integral operators. On the other hand, we compare the Wolff and Riesz potentials on spaces of homogenous type, …

Ground Target Tracking with Multi-Lane Constraint
Knowledge of the lane that a target is located in is of particular interest in on-road surveillance and target tracking systems. We formulate the problem and propose two approaches for on-road target estimation with lane tracking. The first approach for lane tracking is lane identification based …

Safety-message routing in vehicular ad hoc networks
The safety-message dissemination problem for vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) was investigated. Four novel techniques were contributed for the efficient and reliable routing of safety messages in the vehicular ad hoc networks. The instant-broadcast technique was proposed to improve the end-to-end …
