This research presents studies on a segment of highway to determine the quantitative factors that inuence transit services. Travel time and delay study is one of the method to determine quantitative factors. Tour time is described as the average period of time required to journey from one region to some other. Total departure time consists of gadgets which include total working time, places and general delay time. The examine section was done in Prithvi chowk to Tal chowk of Prithvi Highway which is turned to be 12.5 km long.
Additionally, it has been found that the principle variables affecting travel time are: postpone time because of forestall selecting and choosing up passengers, bus model and bus size.32 trips public transport carrier and a 10 trips non-public automobile journey have been held during peak hours. Models are developed the use of SPSS software to become aware of the relationship between the causes of delays and the overall-time delays. Travel time and learning delays can help reduce the number of private vehicles operating and increase the number of public vehicles in order to reduce congestion and improve the e efficiency of the public transport system. It turned into determined that there was a full-size distinction in tour time among the use of the public transit services and the car.

The document provides an overview of the transport sector in Central Asia, specifically focusing on roads, railways, and air transport in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. It finds that roads are the main means of transport across Central Asia, and that road development is the top priority in national transport strategies. However, road quality is poor, especially in mountainous areas, and maintaining transportation infrastructure is underfunded. Rail transport is becoming more important for freight, while cross-border travel by any means faces complications from limited direct flights and connections between countries.
Existing Facilities And Deficiencies In A Busy Intersection At Dhaka Based On...IJERA Editor
Roundabouts have become increasingly popular in recent years as an innovative operational and safety solution at both low volume and high volume intersections. This paper contains capacity analysis of existing roads at a busy intersection in Dhaka named Polashi intersection, compare capacity and volume, AADT, velocity study, road user behavior, pedestrian flow analysis for proposed roundabout. Evaluations are made on a rational basis using qualitative analysis wherever possible and accepting that some matters determine by the exercise of judgments. Roundabouts have a number of advantages over traffic signals depending on the conditions. They reduce the severity of crashes since head-on and right-angle conflicts are nearly eliminated. They may consume less land area since turn pocket lanes are not needed. They have lower energy and maintenance costs

Focused on the lane occupancy phenomenon, this paper analyzes the roads during two different accidents to the evacuation period. Firstly, according to the statistical data, this paper calculated the correction coefficients under the road traffic condition, and then obtained the actual traffic capacity result at each moment of the road when combining the function model of the actual traffic capacity corrected by the running speed and the road traffic condition. Next the actual traffic capacity results are fitted to the Smooth spline interpolation, and then the actual traffic capacity is further verified by the traffic congestion situation. The actual traffic capacity of the road during the accident to evacuation is summarized as follows: the actual traffic capacity shows a nonlinear trend, that is, ascending-attenuating-recovering and gradually stabilizing. Finally, using Mann-Whitney U test to carry out the difference test on the actual traffic capacity, it is found that there is significant difference between the two groups of data, and the actual traffic capacity of the second case is stronger than that of the first one, and the reasons for the difference are analyzed as follows: the ratio of the steering traffic volume at the downstream intersection is different; this road section includes the community intersection and there are vehicles entering and leaving; meanwhile the speed of each lane is different and there are buildings near the lane. The above conclusions will provide theoretical basis for the traffic management department to correctly guide the vehicle driving, approve the road construction, design the road channelization plan, set the roadside parking space and the non-port-type bus stations.

A Stratified Methodology for the Marine Electronic Highway for Policy Makers ...IJERA Editor
The Main objective is to present evaluation and judgment model for computing of Marine Electronic Highway
(MEH) system & technologies. By achieving MEH system, the environmental impact has reduced along with the
improvement of quality and reliability in the freedom of navigation at sea. The dissertation is a study, to examine
the need for the Policy Makers along the west coast of India and south coast of Sri Lanka, to identify the critical
areas of the coastline, which require urgent attention because of traffic density as well as environmental
sensitivity and to propose suitable solutions to manage the shipping traffic in this region safely and effectively
For this target, a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) method is applied in the selection of options with
respect to various attributes as it becomes difficult in part of authorities to arrive a suitable decision on choosing
the type of parameters and factors depending for a particular area or region. TOPSIS method and AHP are used
to find the parallel importance of the chosen attributes at various regions and based on this, suitable options are
determined. Key deliverables of the system have been identified considering the needs of India and Sri Lanka.
Large cities in developing countries are characterized by growth in automobile ownership, insufficient
transportation infrastructure and service development. These cities often suffer from congestion, poor mobility
and accessibility, significant economic waste, adverse environmental impact and safety problems. This paper
focuses on identification of travel time characteristics and other traffic parameters and to develop a predictive
model for travel time on Akure major roads. Data on travel time were collected for vehicles during the morning
and evening peak periods using floating car technique. The data was analyzed using Statistical Packages for
Social Sciences (SPSS) and fitted into Multiple Regression model to establish a relationship between the
Travel Time and other road traffic parameters. Travel time (Tt) was modeled as a function of section length
(X1), number of intersections (X2), pedestrian/ economic activities (X3), Traffic volume (X4), enforcement
agency (X5) and road width (X6). The Coefficient of multiple determination R2 was 0.702 which means that
there is 70.2% of the dependent variable (travel time) in the forward direction as explained (accounted) by the
independent variables and 72.2% in the opposite direction. The result revealed that section length, pedestrian
economic activity and traffic volume were all significant at 5% level and has a positive relationship with travel
time in both forward and reverse direction. The model identifies the impact of these traffic parameters on travel
time and recommend measures for improvement.

identification of bus lane. Peak hour demand was calculated in terms of actual Passengers per hour per
direction (Pphpd)along the entire corridor which acts a warrant test for the provision of a separate lane for
public transport vehicles in Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) System. Saturation Levelsand Dwell Times (sec)at every
stop both for busses and for wagons usingfrequency, clearance time, amount of boarding and alighting
passengers and journey time of existing public transport system were analyzed.From data analysis,
theSaturation Levels and Dwell Times at every stop were found higher than the recommended values mainly
because of the obstruction due to private vehicles in front of public transport vehicles,a comparatively high
percentage of private vehicles with respect to public transport vehicles and the prolong stay of drivers atbus
stops. The Saturation Levels and Dwell Times (sec) for the proposed BRT system was re-analyzed. Finally,
result of the proposed BRT system was incorporated in S-Paramics software to develop a public transport

Sustainable Urban Transport Development by Applying a Fuzzy-AHP Model: A Case...BME
Sustainable development decisions generally require citizen participation in the decision process to avoid public resistance and objections in the long term. Because of the involvement of non-experts, the uncertainty of the decision is increased, and this must be considered in the decision-making process. This paper aims to introduce a sustainable urban transport development problem in which citizens are involved to allow them to express their preferences for improving certain elements of the public bus system. To mitigate the uncertainty of the non-expert evaluations, a fuzzy-analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model has been created and applied. Since the objective of the research is to provide a suitable framework for transport development tenders, only the criteria weights have to be determined; thus, an alternative level has not been applied. The model has been tested on the urban bus transport system of a large Turkish city: Mersin. Based on the application, citizen preference weights could be associated with certain elements of the supply quality; thus, government development source allocation decisions could be supported. The fuzzy-AHP model ensures that the final development implications will meet public demand for bus system improvement in the city.

Sustainable Urban Transport Development by Applying a Fuzzy-AHP Model: A Case...BME
Sustainable development decisions generally require citizen participation in the decision process to avoid public resistance and objections in the long term. Because of the involvement of non-experts, the uncertainty of the decision is increased, and this must be considered in the decision-making process. This paper aims to introduce a sustainable urban transport development problem in which citizens are involved to allow them to express their preferences for improving certain elements of the public bus system. To mitigate the uncertainty of the non-expert evaluations, a fuzzy-analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model has been created and applied. Since the objective of the research is to provide a suitable framework for transport development tenders, only the criteria weights have to be determined; thus, an alternative level has not been applied. The model has been tested on the urban bus transport system of a large Turkish city: Mersin. Based on the application, citizen preference weights could be associated with certain elements of the supply quality; thus, government development source allocation decisions could be supported. The fuzzy-AHP model ensures that the final development implications will meet public demand for bus system improvement in the city.

Traffic Stream Relationships of Two-Lane Highways: A Case of Akure-Ondo Road ...IJAEMSJORNAL
In the design and planning process of highway infrastructure, speed-flow-density relationships are useful tools for predicting the roadway capacity, determining adequate level-of-service of traffic flow and travel time for a given roadway. The speed-flow-density relationships currently used for transportation studies in Nigeria is derived from the Highway Capacity Manual, which does not reflect the true traffic situation on two-lane roads in Nigeria. Developing cost effective tools for describing these relationships in the context of a developing country like Nigeria is imperative. The aim of this study was to develop models to describe the relationship between traffic flow, speed and density on Akure-Ondo two-lane highway in southwest Nigeria. Moving observer technique was employed to collect traffic stream data over a stretch of 5km on the study segment during periods of uniform flow on weekdays. To describe the traffic stream relationships, two approaches namely: related and nonrelated traffic stream models were developed. The nonrelated traffic stream models gave inaccurate relationships while the related traffic stream modelling approach performed well at describing speed-flow, flow-density and flow-speed relationships with R2 values 0.62, 0.75, and 0.80 respectively. The relationships developed from related traffic stream models estimated maximum flow on the study segment as 330 veh/h at an optimum density of 4.44 veh/km. The speed at maximum flow was estimated as 74.5km/h, while the free flow speed was estimated as 149.027km/h.

Study the Effects of Traffic Situation on Driver’s Mood and Root Choice Decis...ijtsrd
This document summarizes a research study that analyzed how traffic situations affect drivers' moods and route choice decisions in commercial areas. Specifically, it used a traffic analysis software to count vehicles on a broad lane and service lane over time. It found that traffic peaks during rush hours affected both lanes similarly. Increased traffic and longer traffic light wait times encouraged drivers to use the alternate service lane, increasing congestion there and accident risk. The key finding was that longer traffic light wait times were the most important factor influencing drivers' decisions to use the service lane. Reducing wait times could impact typical use of the broad and service lane and improve overall traffic management.

The research objective is to evaluate the performance of intersections around the
central area of urban activities, analyze queues and delays that occur in the area,
openings and existing canalization, analyze the level of accessibility from the
influence of traffic management, from obstacles to various privacy activities,
determine the optimization of traffic light functions coordinated and integrated. The
research method is generally carried out through direct surveys, mathematical
analysis and comparative analysis. Mathematical analysis is done iteratively to get the
best cycle time as an integrated and coordinated intersection function. Graphically, it
can facilitate the drawing and reading of the best cycle times for various intersections
that are included in the design. The results obtained showed that the densest traffic
volume in the CBD area occurred at the intersection 7 and 12, with the 42.02–72.59%
composed of vehicles dominated by motorbikes, while jeeps between 6.72 – 35. 63%.
The capacity of Intersection in this area averages 6,809 passenger car unit (pcu) /
hour, so that the Degree of Saturation averages 0.895 with the maximum is 0.917. The
highest chance of queuing occurs in unsignalized intersections in the CBD area
between 42-84% which occur at the intersection 7 and 12 with the highest delay was
38.18 seconds (intersection 2). The level of accessibility of this region was high but
because of the high side barrier. Intersection capacity improvement through
geometric improvements, channelization, improvement and optimization of integrative
traffic light functions, has the potential to contribute up to 36% and based on
simulations with VISSIM program aids until the projections for 2025 can be
maintained contributing to an increase in capacity of up to 22%.

Determination of congestion charge for car users in cbd area of thiruvanantha...eSAT Journals
Abstract Congestion is a situation in which demand for road space exceeds supply and is characterized by slower speeds, longer trip times, higher transportation costs and increased vehicular queuing. Thiruvananthapuram, the capital city of Kerala, is the second largest and most populous city in the state.The roads and neighbourhoods of the city experiences more chronic congestion and serious crashes than ever before due to higher share of personalized transport and para-transit modes in traffic stream. The present study conducted in Central Business District (CBD) area of Thiruvananthapuram city. The periods of peak congestion in Thiruvananthapuram now last for 4 hours from 8.00 to 10.00 in the morning and from 4.00 to 6.00 in the evening. In this paper, an attempt has been made to assess the congestion level experienced on major road corridors of the city and to determine congestion charge for car users in Mahatma Gandhi Road, which is the most congested road corridor of Thiruvanathapuram city. The method used for the determination of optimal pricing is related to the point of pricing where the external costs are met by the revenue generated by the pricing level. Keywords: Congestion pricing, External costs of congestion, Travel time, Demand elasticity.
Designing of a Traffic Signaling System at T-IntersectionIJERA Editor
The traffic signal design of the intersection has a direct control on its safety and operation from a design and user-ability point of view. We identified Kothavalasa T-Intersection has been arise problems like road accidents, conflicts and congestions. Design elements that are particularly important include the number of lanes provided on each approach and for each movement. These problems can solve by providing an efficient traffic signal control at the intersection for continuous movement of vehicles through the intersection. According to traffic signal, most traffic signal timing plans are designed to minimize vehicle delay based on the volumes seen in the past, not the present. Traffic count studies are to be made to determine the number, movement and classification of vehicles at an intersection. Signal timing is most important which is used to decide green time of the traffic light shall be provided at an intersection and how long the pedestrian walk signal should be provided. By using Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) intersection saturation for identifying periods of time when cycle length could be substantially short. These data is used identify normal flow of the roadway; determine the influence of heavy vehicles or pedestrians on vehicular traffic volume. Webster’s minimum delay cycle length equation overestimates the optimal cycle length compared to the results based on the HCM 2000 method. This is due to the restructuring of the HCM 2000 delay equation as compared to the original Webster’s delay calculation.

Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

The goal of this study was to see how talent management affected employee retention in the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The fundamental issue was the difficulty to attract, hire, and retain talented personnel who perform well and the gap between supply and demand of talent acquisition and retaining them within the firms. The study's main goals were to determine the impact of talent management on employee retention in IT companies in Chennai, investigate talent management strategies that IT companies could use to improve talent acquisition, performance management, career planning and formulate retention strategies that the IT firms could use. The respondents were given a structured close-ended questionnaire with the 5 Point Likert Scale as part of the study's quantitative research design. The target population consisted of 289 IT professionals. The questionnaires were distributed and collected by the researcher directly. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to collect and analyse the questionnaire responses. Hypotheses that were formulated for the various areas of the study were tested using a variety of statistical tests. The key findings of the study suggested that talent management had an impact on employee retention. The studies also found that there is a clear link between the implementation of talent management and retention measures. Management should provide enough training and development for employees, clarify job responsibilities, provide adequate remuneration packages, and recognise employees for exceptional performance.
ATTRITION IN THE IT INDUSTRY DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC: LINKING EMOTIONAL INTE...IAEME Publication
Globally, Millions of dollars were spent by the organizations for employing skilled Information Technology (IT) professionals. It is costly to replace unskilled employees with IT professionals possessing technical skills and competencies that aid in interconnecting the business processes. The organization’s employment tactics were forced to alter by globalization along with technological innovations as they consistently diminish to remain lean, outsource to concentrate on core competencies along with restructuring/reallocate personnel to gather efficiency. As other jobs, organizations or professions have become reasonably more appropriate in a shifting employment landscape, the above alterations trigger both involuntary as well as voluntary turnover. The employee view on jobs is also afflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic along with the employee-driven labour market. So, having effective strategies is necessary to tackle the withdrawal rate of employees. By associating Emotional Intelligence (EI) along with Talent Management (TM) in the IT industry, the rise in attrition rate was analyzed in this study. Only 303 respondents were collected out of 350 participants to whom questionnaires were distributed. From the employees of IT organizations located in Bangalore (India), the data were congregated. A simple random sampling methodology was employed to congregate data as of the respondents. Generating the hypothesis along with testing is eventuated. The effect of EI and TM along with regression analysis between TM and EI was analyzed. The outcomes indicated that employee and Organizational Performance (OP) were elevated by effective EI along with TM.
INFLUENCE OF TALENT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE A STUD...IAEME Publication
By implementing talent management strategy, organizations would have the option to retain their skilled professionals while additionally working on their overall performance. It is the course of appropriately utilizing the ideal individuals, setting them up for future top positions, exploring and dealing with their performance, and holding them back from leaving the organization. It is employee performance that determines the success of every organization. The firm quickly obtains an upper hand over its rivals in the event that its employees having particular skills that cannot be duplicated by the competitors. Thus, firms are centred on creating successful talent management practices and processes to deal with the unique human resources. Firms are additionally endeavouring to keep their top/key staff since on the off chance that they leave; the whole store of information leaves the firm's hands. The study's objective was to determine the impact of talent management on organizational performance among the selected IT organizations in Chennai. The study recommends that talent management limitedly affects performance. On the off chance that this talent is appropriately management and implemented properly, organizations might benefit as much as possible from their maintained assets to support development and productivity, both monetarily and non-monetarily.
A STUDY OF VARIOUS TYPES OF LOANS OF SELECTED PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS...IAEME Publication
Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA. There are many research conducted on the topic of Non- Performing Assets (NPA) Management, concerning particular bank, comparative study of public and private banks etc. In this paper the researcher is considering the aggregate data of selected public sector and private sector banks and attempts to compare the NPA of Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of public and private sector banks. The tools used in the study are average and Anova test and variance. The findings reveal that NPA is common problem for both public and private sector banks and is associated with all types of loans either that is housing loans, agriculture loans and loans to SMES. NPAs of both public and private sector banks show the increasing trend. In 2010-11 GNPA of public and private sector were at same level it was 2% but after 2010-11 it increased in many fold and at present there is GNPA in some more than 15%. It shows the dark area of Indian banking sector.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
OPTIMAL RECONFIGURATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION RADIAL NETWORK USING HYBRID MET...IAEME Publication
Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

This research paper introduces an innovative modulation technique for controlling a 3-level flying capacitor multilevel inverter (FCMLI), aiming to streamline the modulation process in contrast to conventional methods. The proposed
simplified modulation technique paves the way for more straightforward and
efficient control of multilevel inverters, enabling their widespread adoption and
integration into modern power electronic systems. Through the amalgamation of
sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) with a high-frequency square wave
pulse, this controlling technique attains energy equilibrium across the coupling
capacitor. The modulation scheme incorporates a simplified switching pattern
and a decreased count of voltage references, thereby simplifying the control
algorithm.
Rainfall intensity duration frequency curve statistical analysis and modeling...bijceesjournal
Using data from 41 years in Patna’ India’ the study’s goal is to analyze the trends of how often it rains on a weekly, seasonal, and annual basis (1981−2020). First, utilizing the intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curve and the relationship by statistically analyzing rainfall’ the historical rainfall data set for Patna’ India’ during a 41 year period (1981−2020), was evaluated for its quality. Changes in the hydrologic cycle as a result of increased greenhouse gas emissions are expected to induce variations in the intensity, length, and frequency of precipitation events. One strategy to lessen vulnerability is to quantify probable changes and adapt to them. Techniques such as log-normal, normal, and Gumbel are used (EV-I). Distributions were created with durations of 1, 2, 3, 6, and 24 h and return times of 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years. There were also mathematical correlations discovered between rainfall and recurrence interval.
Findings: Based on findings, the Gumbel approach produced the highest intensity values, whereas the other approaches produced values that were close to each other. The data indicates that 461.9 mm of rain fell during the monsoon season’s 301st week. However, it was found that the 29th week had the greatest average rainfall, 92.6 mm. With 952.6 mm on average, the monsoon season saw the highest rainfall. Calculations revealed that the yearly rainfall averaged 1171.1 mm. Using Weibull’s method, the study was subsequently expanded to examine rainfall distribution at different recurrence intervals of 2, 5, 10, and 25 years. Rainfall and recurrence interval mathematical correlations were also developed. Further regression analysis revealed that short wave irrigation, wind direction, wind speed, pressure, relative humidity, and temperature all had a substantial influence on rainfall.
Originality and value: The results of the rainfall IDF curves can provide useful information to policymakers in making appropriate decisions in managing and minimizing floods in the study area.
Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

1. INTRODUCTION
Dhaka and Chittagong are the two major metropolitan areas of Bangladesh. Dhaka is
the main commercial and administrative center of the country; Chittagong is the
primary seaport, accounting for about 90% of imports and exports. About a quarter of
Bangladesh’s population lives in the Dhaka–Chittagong corridor. The government’s
Seventh Five-Year Plan, 2016–2020 assigns the highest priority to increase the
capacity of the existing National Highway No.1 (NH-1) [1]. Construction of a larger
Dhaka-Chittagong expressway has been proposed already under Public Private
Partnership (PPP) to decrease congested traffic on this highway. Besides, NH-1 will
be a part of the Asian Highway that connects with neighboring countries. The detail
daily, weekly and monthly traffic flow analysis is badly needed for future planning as
with recent high-level intergovernmental consultations and agreements that will allow
better access for Bhutan, India, and Nepal to Chittagong Port. The additional traffic of
goods and passengers will use Dhaka–Chittagong corridor and has to be considered
when planning the road capacity between Dhaka and Chittagong. It should be
mentioned here that, specific time series analysis of traffic flow in any highway are
considered as one of the most important parameter where those provides essential
efforts for traffic model developments and calibration exercises that can be used for
the planning of new road construction, existing road for widening, determination of
roadway geometry, congestion management, pavement design, and many others [2].
During the planning, design, construction and maintenance period of any road
network, traffic flow analyses becomes an essential element in decision-making, and
therefore the format and the accuracy of data collection and analysis is as well critical.
2. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The NH-1 highway is solely supervised and maintained by Roads and Highways
department (RHD) of Bangladesh. No study has been done by the Government of
Bangladesh (GoB) and RHD regarding historical commuter traffic pattern on NH-1
before. Hence, an attempt is taken through this study to explore the daily, weekly and
monthly traffic flow variations of Dhaka-Chittagong Highway (NH-1) corridor of
Bangladesh to comprehend the latest traffic flow characteristics of that highway. This
study has been performed based on daily traffic data of Meghna and Gumuti Bridges,
which are the entry point of Dhaka-Chittagong highway corridor. Gazaria upazlia in
Narayanganj district is located between two channels of the Meghna River. On the
eastern side is the Daudkandi channel and on the western side is the Meghna channel

of the Meghna River. The Gumti bridge over the Daudkandi channel and Meghna
bridge over the Meghna channel.
3. LITERATURE REVIEW
Daily, weekly and monthly traffic flow indicators of Dhaka-Chittagong highway is
essential for various engineering works on that corridor as well as other highways of
Bangladesh from short term to long term, such as pavement design, plan for future
investments, road widening, traffic impact assessment, feasibility studies, traffic
forecasting and modelling, congestion reduction, traffic queue reduction, improved
incident management, dynamic network traffic control, reducing fuel consumption
(and thus lower CO2 emissions) and air emissions, shorten driving times thus
reducing costs, improved vehicle fleet management, improved information services
(e.g. traffic information, dynamic route guidance, road message signs, etc.). The
improvements are expected to affect all the transportation actors at different degree,
for example, government and public authorities, logistics and fleet operators, location
based service providers, consultants, map providers, marketing, telecommunications,
automotive manufactures, etc. The Roads and Highways Department of Bangladesh
will have a cost-effective tool to obtain continuous and wide-covering data leading to
better traffic monitoring in real time, better understanding of the traffic patterns and
plans for future investments. The international donor agencies in Bangladesh can
formulate different studies like congestion monitoring, journey time studies, planning
studies, air pollution studies, OD matrices and planning local transport by using traffic
flow indicators of N-1 corridor before investing money. Transport agencies of
different developed countries widely record traffic data of various highways using
automatic and manual method and at the same time they use those data for traffic
analysis. Conversely, no studies has been done by Government of Bangladesh
regarding extensive time series traffic analysis of NH-1 and no parameters has been
set by the Roads and Highways Department, as a part of Development of Geometric
Design Standards in 1994 and Pavement design guide in 2005, on some important
highways [3][4]. However, only a few studies with very limited range of data has
done for traffic study in Bangladesh. Muhibur Rahman performed studies on
Vehicular Flow Pattern on Jamuna Multipurpose Bridge Access Road in 2002 [5].
Hamid-Uz-Zaman completed another study in Traffic Flow Characteristics and
Modeling for Estimation of AADT in selected Rural Highways in 2006 [6].
Mohammad Ahad Ullah carried out research on Evaluation of Pavement Design
Parameters for National Highways of Bangladesh [7]. In addition, guidelines are
followed for investigation of traffic characteristics from Traffic Monitoring
Guidelines 2001, published by Federal Highway Administration of U.S. Department
of Transport, which have been helpful for this type of research [8].
4. DATA COLLECTION
The various types and methods are used to collect traffic data in different countries
that provide a good and valuable coverage of the required traffic information for
decision making and planning of both development and maintenance of the national
road network. Unfortunately in Bangladesh there is no establishment of regular
manual traffic counting program or spontaneous automatic counters along the public
highway network. However, in recent years the government of Bangladesh has invited
tender to bid an Operation and Management (O&M) contract for five years against a
fee after building the major roads and bridges of some selected corridors. The O&M
operators maintains the bridge and collects toll on behalf of the government.

Electronic toll collection system has not introduced yet in Bangladesh. Nevertheless,
the traffic data that has been used in this study for the traffic flow characteristics
analysis is primarily collected from the Operation and Management (O&M)
Companies of Meghna and Gomoti Bridges. The daily traffic flow data from the year
2006 to 2014 have been collected from the toll operators called RCL (Reza
Construction Limited) and MBEL (Mohiuddin Builders and Engineers Limited)-ATT
(Asian Traffic Technologies Limited) JV (joint venture). The traffic data has been
recorded by the operators by direct entry from the toll plaza and then have been
electronically preserved at their main database. These flow data have then been
collected from the operators with official permission from Roads and Highways
Department of Bangladesh and have been used in this study to perform the required
analysis.
5. DATA ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
Detail traffic flow features of Dhaka-Chittagong Highway (N-1) is analyzed in this
research. It is a matter of regret that, neither Roads and Highways Department of
Bangladesh nor the concern O&M company of the contractors’ are concern about the
research value of the traffic data. Hence, they don’t preserve it properly and it was not
possible to collect data for inbound and outbound traffic separately.
The following sections discusses the detail traffic flow characteristics along this
highway of Bangladesh.
5.1. Daily Traffic Flow Variation
Daily flow fluctuation on highways is an important parameter of flow characteristics
where the variation of flow in days-of-week is observed. From the analyses of 9 years
data collected from RCL and MBEL-ATT JV (2006 to 2014), distinct daily flow
fluctuation pattern can be achieved. It is seen in figure 1 how each month of year
affects this daily flow fluctuation. To make this observation, curves have been plotted
showing daily flow variation for all months of a year during this study. Two of such
charts are given in Figure 1 and Figure 2, where the average daily flow variation
pattern are found to conform to those obtained from the previous analyses, but no
definite relation can be established in terms of influence of individual month on these
daily variations. This implies that, individual month has no significant effect on daily
variation of traffic flow on Dhaka-Chittagong highway.

Summary of Findings
From the analyses, the following important flow characteristics parameters have been
obtained, where it is obvious that Friday possess maximum traffic flow of 16.20% of
weekly volume in NH-1 corridor. On the other hand, from Monday to Wednesday the
daily traffic flow varies from 13.59% to 14.00% of weekly volume and Sunday has
the minimum traffic flow of 13.51% of the weekly volume. Besides, Thursday has
second highest traffic volume of 14.80% of weekly volume in N-1 corridor. This
analysis indicates that the flow pattern sags on midweek.

5.2. Weekly Traffic Flow Variation
Depending on the economic activities of highway corridors, traffic flow may exhibit
weekly flow variation, i.e. considering four weeks in a month; the flow may vary
from week to week. To find out these characteristics on NH-1 highway, weekly flow
analyses have been done in this section.
Each month has been divided into four weeks. The first three weeks have seven
days each and the fourth week, except February, has 9 to 10 days depending on the
month. So, it is anticipated that the fourth week will naturally contain more traffic.
To compensate this possible error, the model uses weekly ADT instead of weekly
volume and then compares between the four weekly ADTs of each month from
January 2006 to December 2014. A typical table of weekly flow variation analyses is
shown in Table 2.

From Figure 3, it implies that, in the NH-1 corridor, there exists specific weekly
flow variation pattern. The average curve (for the year 2006 to 2014) shows that, the
first three week of a month, there is a trend of increasing traffic and the last week of
the month there is a trend of decreasing traffic .
5.3. Monthly Traffic Flow Variation
In the study of monthly flow variation, nine years of traffic flow data on Meghna-
Gomoti Bridge collected from RCL and MBEL-ATT JV have been used for analyses,
which will give a thorough understanding of nature of traffic flow variation in
different months of a year. Characteristics curves showing monthly flow variation is
shown in Figure 4. It can be seen that, monthly flow variation in every year shows
very similar repetitive nature of flow fluctuation. The magnitude of flow has risen
every year but the flow pattern remains same, which implies that month has
influences over traffic flow along this corridor.

The following table (Table 3) shows the monthly flow variation on N-1 corridor
from the year 2006 to 2014.

6. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
An inclusive knowledge of daily, weekly and monthly traffic flow characteristics
along Dhaka-Chittagong highway corridor have been discovered from this study.
Though nine years of data is not adequate for in-depth traffic flow analyses. By
proper preservation of round-the year traffic data and populating more years’ of data
within this present framework, a more generalized traffic flow pattern can be made
possible along this highway.

Automatic Traffic Recorder (ATR) should be established in different locations of
Dhaka-Chittagong highway to preserve uninterrupted traffic flow data; which is used
to produce volume, classification, speed and weight data as well as traffic forecasts,
vehicle miles traveled (VMT) figures, reports, maps and analysis. Traffic data
products are used in safety evaluation, pavement design, funding decisions,
forecasting, modeling, and much more. In addition, assessment of pavement
performance through traffic survey and periodical monitoring is mandatory for road
accident prone area of NH-1. Moreover, other indicators like hourly traffic data,
accident data, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report, Highway
Development Management (HDM) report, axle load data, concurrent pavement
distress data, etc. should be included in future in this research to formulate a real-time
traffic flow model of NH-1 corridor.
