ANALYSIS OF LATERAL PLACEMENT AND OVERTAKING BEHAVIOR OF VEHICLES

By Ramireddy Sushmitha, Seelam Srikanth, and Jatoth Jithender

Abstract: The present research work analyzes the overtaking behavior and lateral placement of motorized vehicles under heterogeneous traffic conditions. The data for the present research work was collected at two four-lane divided highway sections. Video recording was done to collect lateral placement data and overtaking behavior of vehicles was observed using moving car method. The lateral…

Atmospheric Emissions in the Life Cycle of Metro Rail Transport Systems

By Carlos Eduardo Sanches de Andrade

Abstract: AbstractIn 2007, the United Nations (UN) published a comprehensive report on "Climate Change," whichhighlighted the significant impact of greenhouse gases (GHGs) on climate variations and thealarming rise in global temperatures. In response, nations were urged to devise action plans aimed atreducing the emissions of these harmful gases. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emerged as the primarygreenhouse gas,…

Evaluating the Impact of Intelligent Traffic Management Systems on Urban Congestion and Emission Levels

By Raju Ramrao Kulkarni

Abstract: AbstractUrban congestion and vehicle emissions represent critical challenges in densely populated citiesworldwide, posing risks to both travel efficiency and environmental health. As urbanizationintensifies, traditional traffic management approaches often fall short of alleviating congestion,resulting in longer commute times, increased fuel consumption, and higher pollutant emissions. Thisstudy evaluates the effectiveness of Intelligent Traffic Management Systems (ITMS), an…

Optimization of Traffic Signal Timing for Urban Mobility: A Case Study

By Yamini N. Deshvena

Abstract: AbstractUrban traffic congestion is one of the most pressing challenges in modern cities, leading tosubstantial economic losses, environmental degradation, and reduced quality of life. Traditionalfixed-time traffic signal systems are often inadequate in addressing fluctuating traffic demands,contributing significantly to this congestion. This paper explores the optimization of traffic signaltiming using a genetic algorithm (GA) integrated with…

The Role of Autonomous Vehicles in Alleviating Urban Traffic Congestion and Reducing Emissions

By Shweta Kulkarni and Raju Ramrao Kulkarni

Abstract: Abstract As urban areas continue to expand, the dual challenges of traffic congestion and vehicle emissions pose significant threats to the quality of urban life, public health, and environmental sustainability. In this context, autonomous vehicles (AVs) represent a revolutionary shift in transportation technology, with the potential to transform urban mobility systems. This study explores the…
