The objective of this paper is to present an effective and reliable method for the traffic surveillance using the concepts of digital image processing. The paper proposes a system that can detect, track, and estimate velocity of vehicles using an uncalibrated camera and also detect and recognize their registration number plate. This approach provides a cost-effective alternative for traffic flow monitoring and surveillance. This robust system finds its applications in urban traffic management systems, military installation, and research facility security systems. This approach is a computationally efficient approach for detecting and tracking moving cars on the road utilizing uncalibrated cameras mounted on the road. It is also helpful for military installation because all the security issues have been detected by using this approach., Author(s): Sandeep Gupta [1]; Ranju S Kartha [2]; Edwin Ramirez-Asis [3]; Judith Flores-Albornoz [3]; Rosa Vílchez-Vásquez [4]; Sitesh Kumar Singh (corresponding author) [5] 1.

Now a day's the waste is produced in immense amounts during construction and coal burning, this study mainly focused on the utilization of sandstone slurry produced during sandstone cutting and Class-F fly ash produced by coal-burning. In this study a deep analysis is taken after 28 days' testing, six concrete mixes were prepared one is conventional as M20, and trial mix batches are a total of five, three specimens were taken from each concrete mix separately to determine the engineering properties of the prepared specimen. Fly ash partly replaced with the cement in % of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and Sandstone slurry partially replaced with sand in % of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%. Water cement ration took. 4-7%, after 28 days specimens were tested of water curing at ± 2, 27°C. Sulfate bath is prepared for durability test with 5% Na2SO4 and prepared specimen left for 28 days curing in prepared sulfate bath after completion of 28 days' normal water curing, the specimen was tested after 56 day curing, acidic nature was maintained for prepared bath, on daily basis pH value has been noted if found more than 6.9 pH than sulphuric acid is added to keep the acidic nature of prepared bath. Only 5% FA and 10% SSS specimen show strength increment up to 14.477% and after sulfate bath, no change was found in specimen's volume. In compressive strength maximum strength increased up to 19.39%, from 5% FA and 10% SSS replacement. In splitting tensile strength maximum strength increased 11.37% with 10% FA and 20% SSS. In Flexural strength, no increment was noticed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this research is to assess the traffic situations of the existing system by evaluating the Level of service as a key component. Traffic survey have been carried out for the analysis of AADT, Design service volume, capacity and Leve of Service of the city road networks. By using AADT, the LOS have been estimated for the analysis of future traffic condition. Peak hour traffic survey data have been collected for the analysis of AADT and Level of Service. LOS has been converted into percentile form for the analysis of the future LOS. It has been observed that the LOS of the roads of the major traffic operations have mostly same LOS in the morning & evening peak hours which signifies that the traffic movement and the pattern of movement are same in both the traffic session of peak hours. The rapid decrease in LOS has been presented in results, which means, LOS will reduce from time to time and the unimproved existing traffic system will create a problem for motorists and pedestrians. Hence, the existing traffic systems must be evaluated in order to cope with future traffic demands and problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
