PURPOSES : In this study, the effects of installation of diagonal crosswalks on traffic flow depending on the types of intersections are analyzed. METHODS : Scrambled crosswalks have advantages in the traffic safety. Therefore, a comparative analysis of the overall average delay before and after installation of the scrambled crosswalk was conducted using VISSIM. RESULTS : The overall average delay for the scrambled crosswalk decreased when the traffic volume ratio of the major to the minor street is 1: 6 in 2-by-1 and 3-by-1 types of intersections. The scrambled crosswalk improved efficiency of traffic operation in intersections: higher traffic volume for a major street, lower traffic volume for a minor street, and longer cross-distance for a major street. CONCLUSIONS:This study can be used to determine when a scrambled crosswalk should be installed to improve operational efficiency.

In this paper, we propose a framework to study how to route packets efficiently in multipath communication networks. Two traffic congestion control techniques, namely, flow assignment and packet scheduling, have been investigated. The flow assignment mechanism defines an optimal splitting of data traffic on multiple disjoint paths. The resequencing delay and the usage of the resequencing buffer can be reduced significantly by properly scheduling the sending order of all packets, say, according to their expected arrival times at the destination. To illustrate our model, and without loss of generality, Gaussian distributed end-to-end path delays are used. Our analytical results show that the techniques are very effective in reducing the average end-to-end path delay, the average packet resequencing delay, and the average resequencing buffer occupancy for various path configurations. These promising results can form a basis for designing future adaptive multipath protocols.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to look for physical growth and developmental retardation of the disabled children in registered educational institutions. Method: The participants in this study were 103 children. The data was collected from January to September 2006. Body weight, height and head circumference were measured and the Denver II developmental screening tool was used to measure personal-social development. Results: For 40.8% of the children body weight was less than the average for Korean children of the same age, for 49.5% height was lower than average and for 44.7% head circumference was lower. For 84.5% of the children there was a delay in personal-social development, for 87.4% a delay in fine motor-adaptive development, for 80.6% a delay in speech development and for 81.6% a delay in gross motor development. Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it is necessary to develop an individual developmental programs for these children based on their growth and development status.

Occupancy sensor is a efficient light control system which light on/off automatically and reduces the unnecessary power waste. From now the research on occupancy sensor is restricted to the selection of the appropriate place or sensor. Exist occupancy sensor changes the delay time by manually to the place or situation, so it is unreliable. The delay time can been changed by the average time of the occupied and the preset time, but it is not enough to reliable. In this paper, so to acquire the reliance the average and the standard deviation of the occupied time change the delay time automatically and protect the malfunction from the detector. And to embody it, AT89C52 microcontroller is adopted to the control circuit. It is verified by simulation and experiment results of output characteristic for randomized input.

Virus throttling technique, one of many early worm detection techniques, detects the Internet worm propagation by limiting the connect requests within a certain ratio. The typical virus throttling detects worm occurrence by monitoring the length of delay queue with the fixed period of rate limiter. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that controls the period of rate limiter autonomically by utilizing the weighted average delay queue length and suggest various period determination policies that use the weighted average delay queue length as an input parameter. Through deep experiments, it is verified that the proposed technique is able to lessen inconvenience of users by reducing the connection delay time with haying just little effect on worm detection time.

When a slow-moving vehicle occupies one of the lanes of a multi-lane highway, it often causes queuing behind, unlike one is caused by an actual stoppage on that lane. This happens when the traffic flow rate upstream from the slow vehicle exceeds a certain critical value. This phenomena is called as the Moving Bottleneck, defined by Gazis and Herman (1992), Newell (1998) [3], and Munoz and Daganzo (2002), who conducted the flow estimates of upstream and downstream and considered slow-moving vehicle speed and the flow ratio exceeding slow vehicle and the microscopic traffic flow characteristics of moving bottleneck. But, a study of delay on moving bottleneck was not conducted until now. So this study provides a average delay time model related to upstream flow and the speed of slow vehicle. We have chosen the two-lane highway and homogeneous traffic flow. A slow-moving vehicle occupies one of the two lanes. Average delay time value is a result of AIMSUN[9], the microscopic traffic flow simulator. We developed a multiple regression model based on that value. Average delay time has a high value when the speed of slow vehicle is decreased and traffic flow is increased. Conclusively, the model is formulated by the negative exponential function.

In this paepr, a routing algorithm is proposed in order to reduce average end-to-end delay and congesting in the high speed network. The algorithm proposed here uses the existing one which adaptively modifies routes and the amount of traffic allocated to each link as user traffic partterns flutuate. This algorithm is ELB(Equitable Load Balancing). Also, the new algorithm considers the proportional to the distance between source and destination. It reduces congestion from the ELB and average end-to-end delay from the propagation dealy concepts respectively. Through the simulation, it shows that the algorithm proposed here reduces average end-to-end delay over low load to high load, and it also guarantees the congestion control.

IEEE 802.11s-based infrastructure Wireless Mesh Networks (iWMNs) are envisaged as a promising solution to provide ubiquitous wireless Internet access. The limited network capacity is a problem mainly caused by the medium contention between mesh users and the mesh access points (MAPs), which gets worst when the mesh clients employ the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). To mitigate this problem, we use wireless network coding (WNC) in the MAPs. The aim of this proposal is to take advantage of the network topology around the MAPs, to alleviate the contention and maximize the use of the network capacity. We evaluate WNC when is used in MAPs. We model the formation of coding opportunities and, using computer simulations, we evaluate the formation of such coding opportunities. The results show that as the users density grows, the coding opportunities increase up to 70%; however, at the same time, the coding delay increments significantly. In order to reduce such delay, we propose to adaptively adjust the time that a packet can wait to catch a coding opportunity in an MAP. We assess the performance of moving-average estimation methods to forecast this adaptive sojourn time. We show that using moving-average estimation methods can significantly decrease the coding delay since they consider the traffic density conditions.

We propose an adaptive shaping controller equipped with the technologies of shaping and buffering VoIP packets arriving at the receiving end by the CAM-type controller. In order to conceal interarrival packet delay variation, the conventional jitter buffers force them to be too large, thereby causing the audio quality to suffer excessive delay. However, by using our proposed method, the delay caused by shaping operation dynamically increases or decreases on the level of jitter that exists with in the IP network. This makes the delay accommodates adaptively the network jitter condition. The less jitter network has the fewer delay the shaping controller requires for jitter elimination. And the CAM-type method generally makes the shaping operation faster and leads to processing packets in as little time as can. We analyse the packet loss and delay performance dependency on the average talk ratio and the number of jitter buffer entries in shaping controller. Surprising, we show that the average delay using our shaping controller is about 70msec. This performance is much better than with the delay equalization method which forces the receiving end to delay about 60msec.
