In recent years, the railway in Brazil increased significantly, from 389,000 Thousand of Tonnes (useful tonne) in 2006 to 450,000 Thousand of Tonnes in 2013. In despite of the increase of products transported in these railways, the number of accidents decreased from 1638 in 2006 to 866 in 2013, according to reports from the National Land Transport Agency of Brazil (ANTT). In spite of the reduction, it still constitutes a major concern due to increased travel time of trains. The main cause of these accidents, as ANTT report, is due to the permanent way, for lack of either maintenance or poor condition. The current state of railroad has been responsible for over a third of accidents in the period between 2006-2013, many of these accidents occur by the lack of appropriate procedures in preventive maintenance, and the lack of technical tests that allow more rigorous acceptance of the components, and most effective results of the maintenance procedures of the railways. This paper aims to emphasize the need for greater rigor in the selection of components and procedures for maintenance of the permanent way, and the potential of these components are not within the appropriate technical standards, which can cause serious accidents and long periods of interruption of the railroad.","PeriodicalId":372752,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Traffic and Logistics Engineering","volume":"53 17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124648522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, wide-spread implementation and deployment of these systems need to be behaviorally justified as well. Towards that goal, ITS must be integrated so as to model these systems for proper evaluation. This research is the study of the application of intelligent transportation systems in improving safety and driver behavior. A case study of the Tehran-Saveh Highway involving the deployment of ITS using speed control cameras for improving safety and the reduction of accidents was examined.","PeriodicalId":372752,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Traffic and Logistics Engineering","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130701105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this paper is to show how GIS is used to identify the best emergence system location along the road network according to accident black spots and response time. Khuzestan road network is chosen as a case study in this research and the results of Ramhormoz-Behbahan route in this province are selected to show in this paper. For this reason, the road accidents data during 2006 to 2009 in this province is analyzed. The results of this research show that the current EMS locations do not cover accident black spots even by 20 minutes response time. Therefore, new EMS locations are recommended according to accident black spots. These new EMS will decrease response time by 15 minutes and the survival chance victims will increase.","PeriodicalId":372752,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Traffic and Logistics Engineering","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132262075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this reason, a microscopic traffic flow simulation is used. Since the road users show a perfect behavior by default, driving errors have to be induced. The necessary adjustments in the existing driver models are presented schematically in this paper. These changes in the driving behavior ensure that some road users cause situations that are critical for others. Such scenarios are required as input data for testing vehicle safety functions in a vehicle dynamics simulation. A decisive factor for the quality with which a critical situation can be successfully managed by a vehicle safety function is the trigger time. For this purpose, approaches are presented for estimating the period in which a collision can still be avoided by braking or evasive maneuver. Three intersection scenarios illustrate the functioning of these criteria.","PeriodicalId":372752,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Traffic and Logistics Engineering","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116539545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this paper is to develop a risk prioritization model enabling a structured analysis and an effective assessment of the risk. An Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) based methodology will be a useful tool not only to tackle the different decision criteria for prioritizing risks, but also to handle the multivariate qualitative nature of data involved in the decision-making process.

As technology evolves, there is the need to reduce the complexity of existing public transportation systems. Usually, it is required that users memorize different areas of the city, know the exchanging points and the complete schedule for a specific transportation vehicle. This context, together with the fact that technology is rising as fast as ever and that the users are increasingly accepting mobile payment solutions, motivated the development of a new solution for mobile ticketing. This solution is based on existing technologies, such as Near Field Communication and Bluetooth Low Energy beacons through a Check-In/Be-Out system and one of its main objectives is to eliminate the need for users to understand the sys-tem. This solution has been extensively evaluated and tested, in the Metropolitan Area of Porto, during one year with about 190 real passengers. However, implementing an entirely new system on top of an existing one can be prone to several flaws. In order to detect and solve errors, abnormal situations or inconsistent behaviors that may occur in any new system, a real-time monitoring system was setup on top of the mobile one. The focus is to collect and gather information from different sources, so it can be displayed and observed. Therefore, this paper details the monitoring system that was developed and presents the main results regarding its deployment.","PeriodicalId":372752,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Traffic and Logistics Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131234583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
