Presentation by Carrie Kissel, National Association of Development Organizations, at the FTA State Programs Meeting, August 7, 2013, in Washington, DC.
Traffic congestion occurs when traffic demand exceeds road capacity, resulting in slower speeds and longer trip times. It is a major source of frustration for motorists and reduces travel speeds. The main causes of congestion are high traffic volumes, inadequate infrastructure, and irrational urban planning. Congestion leads to economic losses from wasted time and increased fuel costs, as well as environmental issues from higher emissions. Potential solutions involve improving road infrastructure, implementing smart urban planning, managing supply and demand through techniques like road pricing, and using traffic management strategies.
This document discusses traffic congestion and its causes and effects. It provides background on traffic congestion, explaining that it occurs when traffic demand exceeds road capacity. Some key causes mentioned include the high number of vehicles on roads, lack of public transportation infrastructure, and road design issues. The effects discussed include increased pollution, economic impacts of delays, road rage, and impediments to emergency vehicles. Solutions proposed involve improving road infrastructure, implementing better traffic control measures, and encouraging public transit use.
The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways has taken up detailed review of National Highways (NHs) network with a view to improve road connectivity to coastal / border areas, backward areas, religious places, tourist places, construction / rehabilitation / widening of about 1,500 major bridges and 200 Railway Over Bridges (ROBs) / Railway Under Bridges (RUBs) on NHs, improvement of newly declared NHs providing connectivity to District Head Quarters, Connectivity Improvement Program for Char-Dham (Kedarnath, Badrinath, Yamunothri & Gangothri in Uttarakhand) under proposed Bharatmala
This document summarizes a student group's presentation on conducting a traffic volume study. It defines traffic volume studies as determining the number, movement and classification of vehicles at a given location. It outlines the group's methodology, which included manually counting vehicles at an intersection in Dhaka for 20 minutes. Their analysis calculated the service flow rate, estimated average daily traffic, and examined the directional distribution of traffic. It noted limitations like using unskilled enumerators and expansion factors from rural roads. Recommendations included using trained enumerators, automatic counting systems, and developing local codes instead of following foreign guidelines.
This document discusses road safety and highlights key issues. It begins by introducing the first recorded road fatality in 1896 and discusses increasing road accidents worldwide. It then focuses on the alarming road safety situation in India, where over 100,000 people die in road accidents each year. The document advocates for a safer systems approach that considers all factors like road design, speed limits, and human behavior, rather than just infrastructure or enforcement. It provides examples of road redesign projects in India that improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. The goal should be Vision Zero of preventing all traffic fatalities and serious injuries.
Traffic congestion costs cities and countries billions each year in lost economic output and productivity. The cost to US cities ranges from $35-48 billion annually, while the UK loses 5% of its GDP to congestion. Individual cities also face massive costs - Moscow loses $1.3 billion, South Africa loses $18 billion, and Dhaka loses $3 billion each year. Beyond economic impacts, congestion also leads to increased air pollution, health issues, accidents, and over 700,000 years of lost time for the over 1 billion daily road passengers worldwide when each loses just 1 minute per day sitting in traffic. Nations must invest heavily to expand transportation infrastructure like highways, public transit, and rail to alleviate congestion which

This document provides an overview of road transport and infrastructure in India. It discusses key statistics such as India having the second largest road network in the world. It also summarizes factors that have contributed to rapid growth in vehicle ownership such as economic development and availability of financing. While public transport accounts for 18% of commuting, dependence on private vehicles is rising due to issues with cleanliness, speed and flexibility of public options. Major initiatives to upgrade national highways are outlined as well.
Transportation problem with relevance to indian citiesSailish Cephas
This document discusses transportation problems in Indian cities, including rapid urbanization, rising motorization, and declining non-motorized transportation. This has led to issues like road congestion, parking shortages, air pollution, and deteriorating road safety. Specifically, it notes that urban populations and vehicle ownership are growing quickly, while walking and cycling infrastructure is lacking, forcing more people into private vehicles and exacerbating problems. Solutions will require better transportation planning and infrastructure to support all modes of transport.

The document discusses traffic congestion as a major problem in Kuwait and other countries. It examines approaches taken in the UK, China, Egypt, and Dubai to address congestion through public transportation investments and policies. The objective is to help Kuwait's government reduce traffic by exploring plans like expanding metro systems, introducing luxury buses, and imposing road tolls. However, gaps remain in understanding Kuwait's latest government plans and directly consulting traffic authorities.
This document summarizes a presentation on travel demand management. It discusses how traditional approaches to reducing traffic congestion through road development are no longer feasible or sustainable. Instead, travel demand management focuses on reducing demand through various pull and push measures. These include improving public transport, increasing vehicle occupancy, and introducing road pricing or fuel taxes. The document also examines how different travel demand management measures impact user behavior and response based on behavioral studies. It finds that a combination of push and pull measures can significantly reduce car use compared to individual measures alone.
Transport is an important part for any nation's economy. Since the liberation of our country the development of infrastructure within the country has progressed at a rapid pace, and today there is a wide variety of modes of transport by land, water and air. In contrast to practice in other nations, Bangladesh has four ministries responsible for transportation with the support of Dhaka City Corporation (DCC), Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (RAJUK) and Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA). With continued economic growth and development there are lot of traffic malfunctions are existing such road accident, rail accident and others with lost and injured lot of valuable lives which reaches people to vulnerability. Therefore this paper focuses to addressing the causes of transport problems with identifying the countermeasures for reducing vulnerability to bring up sustainable development. This slide made of discussion of five core points with mentioning statistical graphs and highlighting action policy for moving up.
Public Transport Policy in Singapore (a long view)Paul Barter
Public transport in Singapore has undergone significant improvements since the 1970s through strategic planning and policies. Key developments include:
1) Implementing a transit-oriented Concept Plan in 1971 to concentrate development along transport corridors and integrate land use with public transportation.
2) Consolidating bus services under two regulated franchises and introducing professional management, bus lanes, and common ticketing to improve integration between the 1970s-1990s.
3) Opening the initial MRT system in 1987 and expanding it, while continuing bus network upgrades and stronger integration efforts through the 1990s and 2000s such as removing transfer penalties.
This document discusses traffic surveys conducted during urban transportation planning. It describes the importance of origin-destination (O-D) surveys to understand trip patterns and characteristics. Several methods of conducting O-D surveys are outlined, including home interviews, roadside interviews, postcard questionnaires, registration number tracking, and vehicle tagging. Home interviews involve surveying households about trip origins, destinations, purposes, modes of travel and times. Roadside interviews directly question drivers at selected locations.

Traffic study project for final year CIVIL engineeringMohammadOsamaJafry
A traffic study was conducted in Bihta, Patna by a group of 6 students from the Department of Civil Engineering at Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology. The study involved collecting data on vehicle volumes and types at 4 congestion points in Bihta over 1 hour time periods using manual counting methods. The results of the first day of data collection are presented, showing the number of different vehicle types passing in both the up and down directions at two locations: Ara Mor and the Dominia Overbridge. Vehicle types included cars, buses, trucks, motorcycles, animal-drawn vehicles, and cycles. Total traffic volumes for the hour were also calculated. The data will be used to analyze traffic characteristics and identify solutions to improve congest

Land use and transportation planning are closely related. How land is used, whether for residential, commercial, or industrial purposes, affects transportation needs. For example, locating shops near homes so they are within walking distance reduces car trips, while commercial developments along highways primarily encourage car trips. Additionally, the cycle of building new roads to access development, which then spurs more development and increased traffic along that road, can create intense pressure on commuters and transportation systems over time in fast-growing regions if left uncontrolled. Effective land use and transportation planning principles include creating a variety of housing and transportation options, encouraging community collaboration, and preserving open spaces.
The document discusses advanced road transportation systems and planning. It defines advanced road transportation as preparing to transfer humans, animals, or items from one place to another. It identifies important functions of transportation planning like identifying transportation components and models. Transportation planning aims to make systems more efficient, effective, and equitable while reducing negative environmental impacts. It discusses various transportation studies used in planning like traffic volume, speed, travel time, parking, and origin-destination studies. The data from these studies help with tasks like designing roads, controlling intersections, and forecasting traffic. The document concludes that integrating advanced technology into traffic management is important for handling increasing vehicle populations in cities and towns.
The document discusses various urban transport problems faced by large cities. It identifies traffic congestion, longer commuting times, inadequate public transportation, difficulties for non-motorized transport, loss of public space, high maintenance costs, environmental impacts, accidents, land consumption, freight distribution, and automobile dependency as the most notable challenges. Specifically, it notes that traffic congestion is linked to increased motorization and vehicle use. Long commuting times are associated with housing becoming less affordable near city centers. Public transit is sometimes overcrowded during peak hours when demand surges temporarily.
This document summarizes key concepts in travel demand and traffic forecasting. It discusses the need to understand travel patterns to plan transportation infrastructure investments. It also outlines the four key traveler decisions that must be modeled: temporal, destination, modal, and route. Specific models for trip generation are presented, including linear regression and Poisson regression models using household characteristics to predict trip production. An example problem demonstrates estimating the expected number of trips and probability of no trips using a Poisson regression model.
Bangalore is facing serious traffic and pollution problems due to rapid growth in population and vehicles. Two-wheelers make up over 70% of Bangalore's vehicle population, and traffic has increased road congestion, air pollution, and stress for drivers. To address these issues, the document recommends improving public transportation like buses, which can carry many more people than private vehicles and reduce road space usage. It also suggests better traffic management through measures like coordinated traffic signals and restricting parking. The long term solution is to reduce private vehicle usage and promote public transport and non-motorized transport to achieve a more sustainable transportation system in Bangalore.
Traffic congestion arises when the number of vehicles on a road exceeds its capacity, resulting in slower travel speeds and longer trip times. It causes numerous negative impacts like wasted time, increased air and noise pollution, and higher fuel costs. In Pakistan, major cities like Karachi, Islamabad, and Lahore experience severe traffic congestion due to factors like rapid population growth, rising incomes, and an underdeveloped road network not keeping pace with the increasing number of vehicles. Traffic congestion leads to large economic losses estimated at billions of rupees annually as well as health and environmental impacts. Possible solutions include expanding road capacity and encouraging public transportation use.

Transport sectors projects are very political entities and governments are still held responsible should there be revenue short fall or distressed situation. further modes of transport do compete with each other but in a limited manner, however, global threats nowadays require certain redundancy in transport network, this affects PPP structure!
Also experience suggests that negotiations between public authorities and prospective concessionaires are rather asymmetrical, and lead to asymmetric risk sharing. Concessionaires have extraordinary bargaining powers as they know no competition exists after the concession is signed.

Transportation planning involves preparing for the movement of people and goods by identifying transportation needs, defining systems, and considering efficiency, quality, and equity. It uses several models and studies - including trip generation, distribution, modal split, and traffic assignment - to understand existing and future travel demand and develop an optimal transportation network. Common transportation studies in the planning process are origin-destination studies, traffic volume studies, speed studies, and parking studies, which provide key data for planning decisions.

Additional data layers will need to be incorporated to determine if any portions of the land contain a private bridge, wetlands, or a water channel. The final map is intended solely for the client's personal use.
Transportation Planning for Car Free Living: The Evolution of Zurich, Switzer...TheLastMile
This is the story of the development of an alternative approach to transportation planning and how it has transformed the city. We start the story in the 1960s when the government plans for moving trams from the surface to underground was rejected in a referendum. In 1973, a similar plan was rejected. As part of this fight the activists developed a 'People's Plan for Prioritizing Transit' which still serves as the conceptual underpinning of transportation planning in Zurich to this day.
This document discusses the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in civil engineering applications. It provides examples of how several engineering consulting firms, including Stantec, Byers Engineering, and Rick Engineering utilize GIS technologies. It also briefly describes graduate degree programs in GIS at the University of Colorado Denver and what certification as a GIS Professional (GISP) involves.
Master Plan Amritsar - 2031 (Accessibility in Peri-Urban areas)liquorstud
Presented in NOSPLAN - 2014 (Smavesh)
“City for All- Proposals and the experiences towards the right to the city”.
Charlotte Mathivete.
But the increasing variety of the urban–rural relationships in the peri- urban areas challenges the policy makers to deal with the complexity of providing access to these areas.
The city Amritsar engulfs the tourist influx worldwide into its magnetic field due to its religious and the historical importance. The proposals in the master plan include the heritage walk, industrial, educational hub etc. Therefore “Master Plan Amritsar - 2031” focusing on the theme accessibility in the peri-urban areas is activity oriented approach at the macro level of the areas in the urbanisable limit of the city Amritsar. The population of the peri urban area is 4.18 lakhs and covering the area of 51426 hectares. The proposed land use in the planning area is residential 43%, circulation 15%, commercial 5%, public-semi public 11%, industrial 11% and recreational 15%. The study has the approach covering accessibility from the major proposed nodes and along the roads in the planning area and the MC limits.
In the lieu of the above the accessibility is analyzed by taking the distance of the radius 5km, 10km and 15km from the center as per the guidelines of the G.O.I and further supported by the demarcation of the four zones along the within the major roads. The accessibility along the roads is identified taking into account the travel characteristic that is the real journey time taken by the commuters.The accessibility to the peri –urban areas is also related with the different aspects then taking account of the commercial centers the shopping areas are sufficient, college need to be proposed to fulfill the requirement, in the terms of the transportation the peri- urban is linked through the outer ring roads; due to the proposal of the sports complex the recreational facilities are also well accessed; but on the darker side the health facilities are least accessible to the peri-urban areas.
So analyzing the access to peri- urban area and concluding as a whole the proposals are located taking the parameters such as directional growth of the city, location of the major roads such as NH, existing activity nodes. Therefore the proposed commercial centers are located in Manawala, Verka and Bal Kalan; recreational centers along the ring road and the NH; educational facilities i.e. two colleges along the Batala road and the Ajnala road; hospitals along the NH and ring road.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
"Scaling RAG Applications to serve millions of users", Kevin GoedeckeFwdays
How we managed to grow and scale a RAG application from zero to thousands of users in 7 months. Lessons from technical challenges around managing high load for LLMs, RAGs and Vector databases.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...DanBrown980551
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
