Two main approaches can be used to predict road accidents: transferring existing Safety Performance Functions (SPFs) from other areas (transferred SPFs), and developing local SPFs. Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages, and are affected b...

Traffic congestion, and the consequent loss of time, money, quality of life, and higher pollution, is currently one of the most important problems in cities, and several approaches have been proposed to reduce it. In this paper, we propose a novel for... Read More about Optimising Real-World Traffic Cycle Programs by Using Evolutionary Computation.
