Atmospheric Emissions in the Life Cycle of Metro Rail Transport Systems
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, with transportation systems accounting for approximately 25% of total globalemissions, primarily driven by private vehicle …

Evaluating the Impact of Intelligent Traffic Management Systems on Urban Congestion and Emission Levels
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 advancedapproach leveraging adaptive traffic control technologies, in reducing both congestion and emissions.Through a combination of …

Optimization of Traffic Signal Timing for Urban Mobility: A Case Study
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 real-time traffic data to improve urbanmobility. A case study was conducted at three highly congested …

Speaking Bus Stop Reminder
Abstract: This paper presents the bus stop reminder using RFID so that the users do not get delayed or don’t getdown at a different stop. The main goal of this paper is to remind you of the correct bus stop before thestop has come. Bus routes travel through several bus stops. Many times, buses change routes and newbus stop names need to be configured in system. Many bus stops also change …

Assessment of Depth of Girder of Railway Bridge
Abstract: The depth of a railway bridge girder is primarily determined by the span of the girder. The load exertedon the girder by passing trains induces a bending tendency, which is counteracted by the girder'sthickness or depth. This structural depth is crucial in neutralizing the bending moments and ensuringthe stability and safety of the bridge. Furthermore, the calculated depth or thickness of the girder mustbe validated against permissible deflection limits to …
