Water Quality Management in the Southern North Sea
The inhomogeneous spatial distribution of the water and (suspended) sediments quality in the southern North Sea is determined mainly by the specific transport and mixing of water masses....

Water Quality of the Wadden Sea
A brief overview will be given of the different sources of input to the Wadden Sea (rivers, land run-off, atmosphere, dumping). The specific problems encountered in comparing the different...

Implications of Environmental Dynamics for Sustainable Environment and Resources Management Futures in the Niger Delta
The paper examines the implications of environmental dynamics for environmental sustainability and resources management futures. The paper first discusses the concept and characteristics...

Management of the Ria De Aveiro Lagoon, Portugal
This paper summarizes a study conducted by the Gabinete da ria de Aveiro (GRIA) for the purpose of proposing planning measures and environmental management policies tailored to the Ria...

Traffic Information and Driver Behavior in France
The 600 Kilometer freeway network within a 30 Kilometer radius around Paris handles 40% of the overall regional traffic volume (number of vehicles). This network is now operated by a single...

Advanced Highway Control on the Central Artery
The Boston Central Artery/Tunnel project involves highways 190 and 193, in downtown Boston, placing underground 7 miles of four to eight lane tunnels. The project, with 37 lane-miles underground,...

Metering Strategies Applied to Signalized Networks
This paper describes the development and adaptation of ramp metering strategies for use in signalized networks. The strategies were developed in simulation environment using the micro-simulation...

Neural Networks in Freeway Control
Hierarchical control strategies have been proposed for freeway optimum control since the 1960's. Multi-layer hierarchical control optimizes system performance to determine a nominal metering...

Cost-Benefit Analysis on Application of AVI Technologies to Toll Services
A preliminary evaluation framework is developed for cost-benefit analysis on application of Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) technologies to highway toll services . The AVI technologies...

Optimal Strategy Within a Traffic Control Center
This paper describes part of a new Central Traffic Control System (CTCS), implemented in several sites in Europe, and recently in Haifa, Israel. The CTCS effected in Haifa contains enhanced...
