Road traffic congestions are one of the major problems in highly populated cities. In the recent years, GPS based solutions have become popular since people are able to see the traffic flow on streets instantaneously. However such systems are lack of intelligent reasoning regarding the traffic problems. As a result, one cannot anticipate the traffic slowdown duration and overall impact. This study proposes a social network based solution using web services where people will be able to share latest traffic incidents such as accidents and roadwork. The proposed solution aims to help people to make the right decisions between alternative routes. The prototype developed was evaluated in a survey among 182 smart phone users and the results show that the most of the participants (72%) reveal a very positive attitude towards the solution and accept it as a desirable tool as a remedy for daily traffic problems.

An integrated incident detection methodology with gps-equipped vehicles Demiroluk, Sami; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) Recurrent congestion in urban traffic networks, especially on arterials, is a growing problem. Non-recurrent congestion, mainly due to incidents, only aggravates the problem. Any solution requires monitoring of the network, for which many developing countries, such as Turkey, do not have the traditional surveillance systems on arterials mainly due to high costs. An alternative solution is the utilization of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, which is increasingly used in traffic monitoring. It is e...
Developing multi-objective linear programming approaches for traffic signal optimization Coşkun, Mustafa Murat; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Şener, Cevat; Department of Computer Engineering (2021-7) In many countries and metropolitan cities, traffic congestion, mainly caused by population growth and the increase in urbanization, has reached a significant level and has become a major problem for residents and decision-makers. Today, although infrastructural strategies such as the construction of underpasses and road widening to alleviate traffic congestion are applied in urban networks, the strategies can also be quite costly and environmentally damaging. Therefore, decision makers allocate large bu...
A Macrolevel tabu-search based approach to determine the major factors in built environment-traffic safety relationship Alişan, Onur; Babalık, Ela; Department of City and Regional Planning (2021-3-05) Traffic crashes are a significant contributing factor to fatalities globally, with an increasing pace of crashes occurring in urban areas. Thus, this study aims to analyze the relationship between urban built environment and traffic safety (BE-TS) to reveal the factors that threaten TS so that they could be avoided in early planning phases. BE was operationalized through the D-classification (e.g., density and diversity) whereas, TS was operationalized through varying crash categories (e.g., severity) and r...
Analysis of comprehension of traffic signs: a pilot study in Ankara, Turkey Kırmızıoğlu, Erkut; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) Traffic signs, which are extremely important for traffic safety, aims to regulate traffic by providing information about the characteristics of road and road environment for drivers. The success of traffic signs mainly rely on the easy comprehensibility of its meaning in a short time. Further more, today’s global economies and transportation systems emphasize the need for more universial traffic signs which was the main motivation of two main treaties on traffic signs; Vienna Convetion in 1968 and European ...
The Social psychological predictors of pedestrian behaviors Demir, Başar; Özkan, Türker; Department of Psychology (2017) Pedestrian violations are a major traffic safety problem in low and middle-income countries. Pedestrians have a high responsibility in accidents due to their unsafe behaviors. The problem worsens further by the scarcity of theory-based research to improve our understanding of pedestrian violations. The current behavioral classification on road user behavior suggest that skill-based, rule-based, and knowledge-based performance levels lead to violations, errors, and positive behaviors. These are distinct doma...
