Investigating the influence of vehicular traffic on a major trunk road on rural air quality
Traffic population in the UK has grown by 27% in 2002 and predicted to continue to an estimated 38% in 2016 and up to 60% by 2031. This means vehicular emissions from road transport may account for higher proportion of total emissions of pollutants resulting in air pollution with its attendant …

Development of a Car -Following Model to Simulate Driver and Autonomous Intelligent Cruise Controlled Vehicular Traffic Flow
INTELSIM model was also utilized to study traffic flow characteristics of a mix of driver controlled (DC) and AICC vehicles as well as all AICC vehicles. INTELSIM algorithm provided stability in AICC platoons and performed well in a variety of traffic situations including stop-and-go conditions. …

Load volume considerations in the collision free route planning of material handling devices in FMS
… requires proper routing and scheduling of vehicular traffic. The simultaneous routing of several AGVs to avoid collision is known to be an NP-Hard problem. In this research, we address the problem of optimal and efficient routing of AGVs through a guide path network.

Road-based proactive routing protocols for vehicular networks
Vehicular networks are formed by vehicles communicating in an ad hoc manner or through cellular and IEEE 802.11 base stations. Routing in vehicular networks is challenging due to highly dynamic network topologies. Previous research done at the UbiNetS lab at NJIT has proposed the idea of Road-Based …

Modeling Interactions of Aircraft Emissions With Global and Regional Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate
… system. Our results suggest that the aircraft traffic at the Chicago O'Hare and Midway Airports do not contribute significantly to ground level ozone pollution in the Chicago area, and are much smaller than the effects due to other emissions such as those from vehicular traffic.

Design of a medium access control protocol that exploits the structures of vehicular networks
Vehicular networks (VANETs) have distinctive structures that distinguish them in comparison to general mobile ad hoc networks. In this thesis we identify the relevant special structures that do exist, and show how they can be exploited to design a MAC layer that provides better performance than a …

Using the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram to Characterize the Traffic Flow in Urban Network
Various theories have been proposed to describe vehicular traffic flow in cities on an aggregate level. This dissertation work shows that a number of MFDs exist in an urban network. The number of MFDs basically indicate the existence of different levels of service on different network routes. It …
