Continuous advancements in alternative drive technologies for vehicles necessitate the development of sophisticated computational tools. Due to the inherent complexity of these systems, prototyping can be a time-consuming and expensive endeavour. Fortunately, computer-aided modelling and simulation environments offer a viable alternative by enabling the virtual testing of novel drivetrain solutions without the need for physical prototypes. These environments leverage existing solutions and readily available models of vehicles, drives, and their components, fostering the efficient development of new concepts and optimized drivetrain models. This...

Using a regression analysis and a sample of 200 respondents, this study looks at how factors pertaining to road transport affect the distribution of agricultural inputs in Wukari, Taraba State, Nigeria. The results show that the constant term in the regression model is 12.584, with a statistical significance of 0.000. Holding transport factors constant establishes a baseline distribution of agricultural inputs. With a beta coefficient of 0.191 and a standard error of 0.071, the transport determinants coefficient is 0.193, suggesting that transportation improvements have a moderate yet substantial effect on the distribution of agriculture inputs....

With advancements and new proposals in wireless communication standards, there is an increase in the demand for band-width-efficient wireless transmission mechanisms. The 5G networks will also enable the Internet of Things (IoT) by creating more efficient and reliable networks for billions of connected devices. Error-Correction Coding (ECC) is a powerful technique to ensure reliable and secure communication in wireless multimedia systems. ECCs are essential for modern wireless communication as they help reduce the amount of data lost during transmission due to errors and noise in the channel. Recent research has demonstrated the usefulness of...
An Assessment of the Roadway segment Environmental Influence on Traffic Crash

Transport And Communications 2024, 12(1):27-35 | DOI: 10.26552/tac.C.2024.1.4
Traffic crashes remain a critical global issue. Governments have introduced measures such as legislation, driver education, and improved road design to address this challenge. This study examines highway traffic collision data from Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) records (2020–2022), integrating georeferenced maps, road networks, satellite imagery (Landsat, Google Maps), Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data, and field survey data from blackspot road segments. Analysis, which was done in ARCgis 10.8 environment, identifies 66 blackspots across 18 federal routes, with 56 curved sections linked to these routes. The findings reveal...
