Study of Congestion Control Scheme with Decentralized Threshold Function in V...ijtsrd
With the constant increase in vehicular traffic, existing traffic management solutions have become inefficient. Urbanization has led to an increase in traffic jams and accidents in major cities. In order to accommodate the growing needs of transport systems today, there is a need for an Intelligent Transport System. Vehicular Ad hoc Network VANET is a growing technology that assists in Intelligent Transport Systems. VANETs enable communication between vehicles as well as fixed infrastructure called Road Side Units RSU . We propose a distributed, collaborative traffic congestion detection and dissemination system that uses VANET. Each of the driver's smart phones is equipped with a Traffic App which is capable of location detection through Geographic Position based System GPS . This information is relayed to a remote server which detects traffic congestion. Once congestion is confirmed the congestion information is disseminated to the end user phone through RSUs. The Mobile App transmits the location information at periodic intervals. Using the latitude, longitude and the current time, the location of each vehicle is traced. Using location information, the distance moved by the vehicle at a given time is monitored. If the value is below a fixed threshold, congestion is suspected in a particular area. If many vehicles in the same area send similar messages, traffic congestion is confirmed. Once traffic congestion is confirmed, the vehicles approaching the congested area are informed about the traffic through display boards that are available in the nearest RSUs traffic signals . The congestion information is also made available through the Mobile App present in vehicles approaching the congested area. The approaching vehicles may take diversion and alleviate congestion.

Performance of Urban Transit in JordanIJERA Editor
Urban public transit has essential and active role for sustainable and balanced socio-economic and
environmental development. This study investigated the performance of urban public transit services in three
major cities in Jordan, including Amman, Irbid, and Zarqa. Accessibility, mobility, productivity, punctuality,
waiting time and comfort of public transit were investigated in the study. Data were obtained from Land
Transport RegulatoryCommission of Jordan, municipalities, and field surveys.
The accessibility was found to be relatively low in Irbid and Amman city. Also, the results indicated that the
mobility and waiting time for public transit were found to be marginally comparable with that in developed
countries. In contrast, the productivity of public transit was very high compared with the productivity of transit
in developed countries. However, one-quarter of users’ rated the comfort inside public transit as poor. Thus,
enhancement of public transit service and introduction of new modes of transport are necessary to ease the
existed urban congestion levels
This report to the NSW Parliamentary inquiry into the utilisation of rail and infrastructure corridors addresses the use of land development for integrated infrastructure corridors and considers improvement to policy development, planning and strategies to achieve greater productivity, enhanced liveability and improved economic benefit through informed decision making.

Cities where people spend one working day a week to pay for an activity that may save only a few hours are inherently Pythonesque. The concept of effective speed allows policy-makers to appreciate the (in)effectiveness of transport options in terms of time savings, by examining the total time associated with transport, including time spent at work to pay for associated costs. Consequently, cars are not necessarily ‘faster’ than alternatives we instinctively think of as slower: public transport, cycling and even walking. Any rational person would agree we should minimise the resources devoted to the essentially unproductive intermediate activity of driving. But economic bean-counters regard this as contributing to our well-being, as it consumes resources, the primary criterion for
inclusion in Gross Domestic Product. The paper examines effective speed in Australian cities and presents results from strategic analysis for Perth, Western Australia, highlighting the consequences of 'squandering' a large and increasing part of our individual and collective time and financial resources. Increasing oil prices may soon start to force changes in economic behaviour, including travel, that
have potentially profound impacts on our real wellbeing and the form and functioning of our cities. The paper describes these consequences and outline ways in which adverse impacts can be reduced.

ALTERNATE ROPEWAY TRANSIT SYSTEM FOR MANPADA ROADcivej
Cities grow in dynamic complex patterns, creating many problems. The study area of Dombivli - Manpada road has grown haphazardly in past decade due to population xplosion. Manpada road attracts heavy traffic but due to narrow roads and inefficient transit options, it leads to severe traffic congestion, side friction, delays, stress, accidents and other problems. Alternate ropeway transit system provides a better
public transit option and plays important role in reducing use of fossil fuels thus helping fight climate change. Total travel during peak hours is expected to double from 48000 to 88000 by 2031 which needs to be supported by various public transits. Cost benefit analysis is used here for evaluating desirability of project by weighting benefits against costs. Ropeway is expected to provide sustainable development,
efficient and effective public transit option and contribute to protection and enhancement of environment.
Traffic State Estimation and Prediction under Heterogeneous Traffic ConditionsIDES Editor
The recent economic growth in developing countries
like India has resulted in an intense increase of vehicle
ownership and use, as witnessed by severe traffic congestion
and bottlenecks during peak hours in most of the metropolitan
cities. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) aim to reduce
traffic congestion by adopting various strategies such as
providing pre-trip and en-route traffic information thereby
reducing demand, adaptive signal control for area wide
optimization of traffic flow, etc. The successful deployment
and the reliability of these systems largely depend on the
accurate estimation of the current traffic state and quick and
reliable prediction to future time steps. At a macroscopic level,
this involves the prediction of fundamental traffic stream
parameters which include speed, density and flow in spacetime
domain. The complexity of prediction is enhanced by
heterogeneous traffic conditions as prevailing in India due to
less lane discipline and complex interactions among different
vehicle types. Also, there is no exclusive traffic flow model for
heterogeneous traffic conditions which can characterize the
traffic stream at a macroscopic level. Hence, the present study
tries to explore the applicability of an existing macroscopic
model, namely the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) model,
for short term prediction of traffic flow in a busy arterial in
the city of Chennai, India, under heterogeneous traffic
conditions. Both linear and exponential speed-density
relations were considered and incorporated into the
macroscopic model. The resulting partial differential
equations are solved numerically and the results are found to
be encouraging. This model can ultimately be helpful for the
implementation of ATIS/ATMS applications under
heterogeneous traffic environment.
DYNAMIC RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN ROAD TRANSPORT SECTOR USING MOBILE CLOUD COMPU...IAEME Publication
Literature review revealed application of various techniques for efficient use of existing resources in road transport sector vehicles, operators and related facilities. This issue assumes bigger dimensions in situations where there are multiple routes and the demand in the routes is highly fluctuating over the day. The application of the existing techniques as reported in literature addresses above issues to a considerable extent. However the main draw back in existing techniques is lack of
proper uninterrupted information about vehicles and demand available at a central place for allocation of vehicles in different roads and huge computational times required for processing. Cloud computing is a recently developed processing tool that is used in effective utilization of resources in transport sector under dynamic resource allocation.

A Review on Performance of Toll Plaza by using Queuing Theoryijtsrd
One of the key problems in the study of any stream of traffic system is the analysis of delay. Delay is a more delicate concept. It may be well defined as the difference between the actual travel time on a given section and some ideal travel time of that section. This raises the question as what is the ideal travel time. In practice, the ideal travel time chosen will depend on the situation. There are two particular travel times that seem best suited as benchmarks for assessment with the actual performance of the system. These are the travel times under free flow conditions and travel time at capacity. Most recent research has found that for highway systems, there is reasonably little difference between these two speeds. The analysis of delay normally focuses on the delay when demand exceeds its capacity. Such delay is known as queuing delay, and may be studied by means of queuing theory. This theory involves the analysis which is known as a queuing system, which is composed of a server, a stream of customers who demand service, and a queue or line of customers waiting to be served.

A CAR POOLING MODEL WITH CMGV AND CMGNV STOCHASTIC VEHICLE TRAVEL TIMESEditor IJMTER
Carpooling (also car-sharing, ride-sharing, lift-sharing), is the sharing of car journeys so
that more than one person travels in a car. It helps to resolve a variety of problems that continue to
plague urban areas, ranging from energy demands and traffic congestion to environmental pollution.
Most of the existing method used stochastic disturbances arising from variations in vehicle travel
times for carpooling. However it doesn’t deal with the unmet demand with uncertain demand of the
vehicle for car pooling. To deal with this the proposed system uses Chance constrained
formulation/Programming (CCP) approach of the problem with stochastic demand and travel time
parameters, under mild assumptions on the distribution of stochastic parameters; and relates it with a
robust optimization approach. Since real problem sizes can be large, it could be difficult to find
optimal solutions within a reasonable period of time. Therefore solution algorithm using tabu
heuristic solution approach is developed to solve the model. Therefore, we constructed a stochastic
carpooling model that considers the in- fluence of stochastic travel times. The model is formulated as
an integer multiple commodity network flow problem. Since real problem sizes can be large, it could
be difficult to find optimal solutions within a reasonable period of time.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
