ABSTRACT
Preventing traffic congestion by forecasting near time traffic flows is an important problem as it leads to effective use of transport resources. Social network provides information about activities of humans and social events. Thus, with the help of social network, we can extract which humans will attend a particular event (in near time) and can estimate flow of traffic based on it. This opens research area to build a framework for traffic management that can capture essential parameters of real-life behavior and provide a way to iterate upon and evaluate new ideas. In this paper, we present building blocks of such framework and a system to simulate a city with its transport system, humans and their social network. We emphasize on relevant parameters selected and modular design of the framework. To show the utility of the framework, we present experimental studies of few strategies on a public transport system.

A study on traffic management cooperating with IMS in MPLS networks
IMS (IP multimedia subsystem) is a key technology, to enable NSPs (network service providers) to provide various services over IP-based networks. In order for NSPs to provide stable network services, it is important to realize QoS in the transport ...
Taxonomy of traffic engineering mechanisms in software-defined networks: a survey
AbstractNowadays, many applications need varying levels of Quality of Service (QoS). The network that provides the communication service connects the servers and clients. The network traffic which is routed through the network should be engineered. ...
Bandwidth Control Using Adaptive Packet Policer Management for Packet Transport Network Based on Service Layer Request
As the mobile service, the cloud service, and machine-to-machine service are becoming more and more popular, network traffic increases drastically and the requirements for network services are diversifying. In this paper, we propose the transport ...
