Some Intersection Theorems for Ordered Sets and Graphs
IOURNAL OF COMBINATORIAL THEORY, Series A 43, 23-37 (1986) Some Intersection Theorems for Ordered Sets and Graphs F. R. K. CHUNG* AND R. L. GRAHAM AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey 07974 and *Bell Communications Research, Morristown, New Jersey P. FRANKL C.N.R.S., Paris, France AND J. B. SHEARER' Universify of California, Berkeley, California Communicated by the Managing Editors Received May 22, 1984 A classical topic in combinatorics is the study of problems of the following type: What are the maximum families F of subsets of a finite set with the property that the intersection of any two sets in the family satisfies some specified condition? Typical restrictions on the intersections F n F of any F and F’ in F are: (i) FnF’# 0, where all FEF have k elements (Erdos, Ko, and Rado (1961)). (ii) IFn F’I > j (Katona (1964)). In this paper, we consider the following general question: For a given family B of subsets of [n] = { 1, 2,..., n}, what is the largest family F of subsets of [n] satsifying F,F’EF-FnFzB for some BE B. Of particular interest are those B for which the maximum families consist of so- called “kernel systems,” i.e., the family of all supersets of some fixed set in B. For example, we show that the set of all (cyclic) translates of a block of consecutive integers in [n] is such a family. It turns out rather unexpectedly that many of the results we obtain here depend strongly on properties of the well-known entropy function (from information theory). -
SIMULATION of DIFFERENT INTERSECTION DESIGN for IMPROVING TRAFFIC FLOW with FACTORS CONSIDERING LOCATION, POPULATION and DRIVER EXPECTANCY Sourabh Kumar Singh Dr
Science, Technology and Development ISSN : 0950-0707 SIMULATION OF DIFFERENT INTERSECTION DESIGN FOR IMPROVING TRAFFIC FLOW WITH FACTORS CONSIDERING LOCATION, POPULATION AND DRIVER EXPECTANCY Sourabh Kumar Singh Dr. Anil kunte Associate Professor, Research Scholar, Associate Professor, Department of Civil Department of Civil Department of Civil Engineering Engineering, Shri JJT Engineering, Shri JJT Noida International University University University Dr. Paritosh Srivastava Abstract: In today’s economic growth the vehicular traffic is increasing day by day, which leads to failure of intersections before their time period. To increase the efficiency of these failed intersections the engineers added lanes to the existing major and minor roads, but this method do not give results which it used to deliver in the past, hence other methods were adopted. So to increase the efficiency and fulfil the criteria for successful intersection ,to cape with it several intersection are designed which are unconventional in nature like jug handle, bow tie, continuous flow intersection and median u turn which are very effective in increasing green time on highway and minor roads. The software used in this study is Auto- cad for planning and drawing purpose which can be used in sim-traffic software which will be used for simulation purpose of the traffic flow on different designs of intersections. The factors which are considered in this study are -location of town centre, population of the zone and driver expectancy. The final conclusion of this study is that continuous flow intersection provides the best results when the traffic is increased. The construction cost is least in median u turn and giving maximum result than all other intersections. -

Abstract Increased traffic congestion is a result of many sources including increasing demand and lagging supply. Responding to increasing congestion, agencies from the federal government to local townships have turned to congestion management, or mitigation. Congestion mitigation is delivered through a variety of techniques. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) recognized a need to assist state and local agency partners to identify potential congestion mitigation strategies and improve collaboration. Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) researchers developed “A Michigan Toolbox for Mitigating Congestion.” The team conducted several tasks in development of the Toolbox. The TTI team reviewed and consulted previous congestion toolboxes for strategy identification, toolbox elements, and toolbox style. The research team implemented a survey of metropolitan planning organizations throughout the country to gather agency experiences with congestion mitigation strategies. -

In the local case, sharp quantitative and structural data are obtained for modules of finite CI- dimension, providing the first class of modules of (possibly) infinite projective dimension with a rich structure theory of free resolutions.

Intersection of Convex Objects in Two and Three Dimensions
Intersection of Convex Objects in Two and Three Dimensions B. CHAZELLE Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut AND D. P. DOBKIN Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey Abstract. One of the basic geometric operations involves determining whether a pair of convex objects intersect. This problem is well understood in a model of computation in which the objects are given as input and their intersection is returned as output. For many applications, however, it may be assumed that the objects already exist within the computer and that the only output desired is a single piece of data giving a common point if the objects intersect or reporting no intersection if they are disjoint. For this problem, none of the previous lower bounds are valid and algorithms are proposed requiring sublinear time for their solution in two and three dimensions. Categories and Subject Descriptors: E.l [Data]: Data Structures; F.2.2 [Analysis of Algorithms]: Nonnumerical Algorithms and Problems General Terms: Algorithms, Theory, Verification Additional Key Words and Phrases: Convex sets, Fibonacci search, Intersection 1. Introduction This paper describes fast algorithms for testing the predicate, Do convex objects P and Q intersect? where an object is taken to be a line or a polygon in two dimensions or a plane or a polyhedron in three dimensions. The related problem Given convex objects P and Q, compute their intersection has been well studied, resulting in linear lower bounds and linear or quasi-linear upper bounds [2, 4, 11, 15-171. Lower bounds for this problem use arguments This research was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under grants MCS 79-03428, MCS 81-14207, MCS 83-03925, and MCS 83-03926, and by the Defense Advanced Project Agency under contract F33615-78-C-1551, monitored by the Air Force Offtce of Scientific Research. -

Intersection and Interchange Geometrics PROJECT CASE STUDY
Intersection and Interchange Geometrics PROJECT CASE STUDY For North Carolina, Implementation of Superstreets Means Travel Time Improvement, Reduction in Collisions, and Fewer Injuries and Fatalities Increasing traffic delays at intersections are a common problem faced by Departments of Transportation (DOTs) across the nation. North Carolina is making strides in tackling delays in suburban, high-volume arterial areas through the implementation of “superstreets,” also known as restricted crossing U-turns (RCUTs). These arterial surface roads can move high-traffic volumes with less delay by re-routing left-hand turns and crossing maneuvers coming from the side streets. Instead, at an RCUT, drivers make a right turn onto the major highway and then make a U-turn through a median. While this may seem time-consuming, studies show it can result in significant time savings. At signalized intersections, the overall time savings efficiencies are due to the ability of the major highway to have a greater percentage of green time to allow the heavy through volumes of traffic to proceed. At unsignalized intersections, traffic from the minor street may actually save time since drivers are not stuck waiting for the long traffic gaps needed to go across the bust thoroughfare or make the left-hand turn. North Carolina has deployed the superstreet concept at intersections across the state, including a corridor of signalized intersections along U.S. Route 17 near Wilmington.
