A new method of traffic control based upon real-time number of the vehicles at the intersection was pulled forward. Serial vehicle detectors were used to detect the number of the vehicle waiting to pass through the intersection. One or more control boxes were used to control the traffic lights according to real traffic condition and transreceived data between itself and the detectors. The information transmission between the detectors and the controllers is based upon 2.4G ISM band. Arithmetic on the system operation, which took the pedestrians and the situation of excessive vehicles into account, is introduced.

The data being transferred over the supply chain has to compete with the increasing applications around the web, throwing open the challenge of meeting the constraint of in-time data transfers with the available resources. It often leads to flooding of resources, resulting in the wastage of time and loss of data. Most of the applications around the customer require real time data transfer over the web to enable right decisions. To make it happen, stringent constraints are required to be imposed on the quality of the transfer. This chapter provides the mechanism for shaping of traffic flows towards sharing the existing infrastructure.

This research describes outcomes from a project that aimed to present near real-time bushfire information to remote and regional Australian communities susceptible to bushfires through an intuitive and easy to use interface. This project arose as a response to calls for increased information sharing amongst communities and individuals in the wake of several severe fire events in Australia. Several rounds of user engagement were undertaken, which informed the design of an application that came to be known as MyFireWatch, which was launched as an officially-supported publicly-accessible web application. Previous research in Australia regarding bushfire information suggests that user-sourced data can provide rich, timely and meaningful information. Yet the MyFireWatch research, the first of its kind in Australia to ascertain community attitudes to user-sourced disaster information, found that user attitudes varied. This paper describes those user attitudes and how they pose both challenges and opportunities for organisations who provide publicly-accessible disaster information.

Taiwan is located at Pacific-rim area and belongs to the sub-tropic to tropic weather characteristics. Recently, extreme heavy rainfall resulted from climate change to induce serious sediment related disasters, such as large-scale landslide and debris flow, are critical in Taiwan. There are almost 24% of total remoted mountainous communities were located within Chiayi, Tainan, Kaohsiung and  Pingtung counties/cities with the amount of 50 remote communities where is almost 24% of high potential risk area occupied by remote mountainous communities in Taiwan. Most of these communities were frequently attacked by typhoons likes Morakot (2009), which brought the accumulated rainfall more than 2450 mm within continuous 72 hours. This extreme rainfall has triggered off a crisis of compound disasters to destroy the environment systems, agricultural productions, human lifes, properties and public facilities. Within there mountainous communities more than 608 landslides with total area of 968.2ha were induced by these disasters which were based on the field investigations. In order to decrease the risk of sediment related disasters attack these remoted mountainous areas, the adaption strategy of environmental conservation, new technology of filed investigations, hazard mitigation system, environmental vulnerability analysis and disaster risk assessment should be executed as soon as possible. According to the historical record (2007-2018) from soil & water conservation Bureau indicated that most of the remote mountainous communities located at southwestern Taiwan attacked by these compound disasters are significant. Meanwhile, study on the mechanism and behavior of compounded disasters induced by extremely heavy rainfall become an important issue which was seriously concerned by Taiwan government. An establishment of real time disaster information transfer and emergency operation systems would be positively concerned and recognized as an important issue by this research. Hopefully, all results can be expected to promote and enhance the disaster prevention capability for the remoted mountainous communities in southern Taiwan.</p><p>Keywords:climate change, extreme rainfall, sediment related disasters, adaption strategy</p>

The development of watersheds complicates the management of hydraulic facilities. Managers are facing economic and social imperatives that are potentially conflicting. Generally, their decisions are based on operational rules established by experience. However, these rules do not ensure that certain minimal conditions be respected and they do not determine future conditions for the river as a whole. Therefore, the communication of these conditions between managers of a same river is difficult. The present paper provides an approach to improve this situation. The real time simulator XSIM, with a graphical interface, has been developed in order to assist managers in control, design, analysis, and information transmission. It is designed based on an intumescence model functioning in an unsteady flow regime. It allows the managers to input the considered operations and provides them with the design conditions in a format adapted to their needs. It ensures the distribution and the availability of the results by creating a web page automatically. Its application to the management of complex sections of a real river is presented in order to illustrate its usefulness for day-to-day management and in emergency situations, such as a sudden flood or the rupture of a dam.Key words: flood, decision aid, management, unsteady flow regime, hydrology, graphical interface, numerical simulation.
