In order to establish objective criteria for road traffic accident (RTA) hotspots, this paper examines the application of three different hotspot analysis methods to both identify and rank the RTA hotspots. The three methods selected are the network Kernel Density Estimation (KDE+) method, the Getis-Ord GI* method, and a recently proposed risk-based method that accounts for RTA frequency, severity...

Road Traffic Accidents (RTA) are known to be one of the main causes of fatalities worldwide. One usef ul approach to improve road safety is through the identification of RT A hotspots along a road, so they can be prioritised and treated. This paper introduces an approach based on Geographical Information System (GI S) to identify and prioritise RTA hotspots along a road network using historical RT...

calibration validation background concentrations modeling air pollution
The main objective of this chapter is to introduce a mathematical method for enhancing the correctness of the output results of air pollution dispersion models via the calibration of input background concentrations. For developing this method, an air pollution model was set up in ADMS‐Roads for a study area in the City of Nottingham in the UK. The method was applied iteratively to the input backgr...

advanced amber warning driver behaviour dilemma zone red-light running
In Brunei Darussalam, an advanced amber warning system, known as the 'Prepare to Stop' (PTS) signals, are typically placed between 50 and 100 m from the stop-line along the junction's approach. The purpose is to reduce dilemma zone problems, instances of abrupt braking at red-light and reduce red-light running (RLR). This paper investigates the effectiveness of the PTS signals implemented on appro...

public transportation incentive scheme bus system bus ridership BaaS Rides for rewards
Bus transit is not popular in Brunei partly due to high ownership of private cars and this will lead to severe traffic congestion in the future. This paper discusses the design of a mobile application to sustain an incentive scheme for public bus transportation in Brunei. It supports a case study on whether an incentive scheme has impact to increase bus transit ridership under the prevailing trans...
