The optimization of traffic flow, enhancement of safety measures, and minimization of emissions in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) pivotally depend on the Vehicle License Plate Recognition (VLPR) technology. Challenges predominantly arise in the precise localization and accurate identification of license plates, which are critical for the applicability of VLPR across various domains, including law enforcement, traffic management, and both governmental and private sectors. Utilization in electronic toll collection, personal security, visitor management, and smart parking systems is commercially significant. In this investigation, a novel methodology grounded in the Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi (KLT) algorithm is introduced, targeting the localization, segmentation, and recognition of characters within license plates. Implementation was conducted utilizing MATLAB software, with grayscale images derived from both still cameras and video footage serving as the input. An extensive evaluation of the results revealed an accuracy of 99.267%, a precision of 100%, a recall of 99.267%, and an F-Score of 99.632%, thereby surpassing the performance of existing methodologies. The contribution of this research is significant in addressing critical challenges inherent in VLPR systems and achieving an enhanced performance standard.

In recent years, a surge in the utilisation of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication has been observed, serving as a pivotal factor in facilitating automatic control of vehicles without human intervention. This advancement has notably curtailed accident rates, mitigated traffic congestions, and augmented vehicular security. Consequently, a meticulous survey has been orchestrated in the domain of Vehicle Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs), particularly as autonomous vehicles pervade urban landscapes. The necessity for resources to assure secure and consistent operations of an escalating fleet commensurately intensifies with the enlargement of the fleet itself. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) hinge upon VANETs to furnish travellers with secure and pleasant journeys, pertinent information and entertainment, traffic management, route optimisation, and accident prevention. Nevertheless, a plethora of challenges inhibits the delivery of an adequate Quality of Service (QoS) within vehicular networks, such as congested and interrupted wireless channels, a progressively saturated and sprawling spectrum, hardware inconsistencies, and the swift expansion of vehicular communication systems. Contemporary networks and energy grids are subject to strain from daily and recreational activities. As demand perpetually ascends, a necessity arises for more refined tools and methodologies for resource management and a more precise distribution system. This investigation offers an exploration of the most recent practices and trends in VANET resource allocation, with the objective of garnering insights into the existing research landscape and its impelling forces.

In this investigation, critical insights into the complex interactions between tyres and soil are explored through the utilization of nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA), bearing significant implications for vehicle dynamics, safety, and performance. Maximal shear stress values, identified through shear stress analyses, reveal a peak of 8.4 MPa in the tyre-road contact region and an approximately uniform shear stress of 1.703 MPa in alternative areas, laying the foundation for advancements in tyre design optimisation. It was demonstrated that tyre designs necessitate optimisation to specific ground materials to fulfil essential traction requirements and preclude sinking. For interfaces involving soil and neoprene rubber, the contact status at the mid-section zone was observed to be in a sticking condition, transitioning to sliding as the observation point moved away from the centre. The research highlighted that through nonlinear analysis, accurate predictions of tyre behaviour under fluctuating loads can be achieved, thereby aiding in the formulation of designs for more fuel-efficient tyres and enhanced wet-weather handling. However, the study recognises the constraints imposed by simplifications within the tyre model, omission of dynamic behavioural factors, and assumptions regarding unvarying friction coefficients. While the analysis was confined to particular material models and validation was executed primarily via numerical simulations, findings affirm that strategic application of nonlinear FEA elucidates pivotal factors in tyre-soil interaction, propelling the establishment of safer and more performance-oriented vehicle models.

The role of transport infrastructure, especially railways, in shaping a nation's socio-economic and cultural dynamics is of paramount importance. The present research delves into the profound influence of the railway network on Iran's regional transformation, from its inception to present times. An in-depth historical evaluation uncovers the genesis and expansion of the Iranian railway system, linking it intricately with pivotal junctures in the nation's trajectory. Emphasis is placed on regions undergoing substantial developmental shifts, attributable to enhanced rail connectivity, offering distinct examples of varied growth paradigms. Economic repercussions manifest as interregional trade augmentation, resurgence of industries, and alterations in employment landscapes, thereby positing railways as an integral component of Iran's economic blueprint. Concurrently, an exhaustive scrutiny of socio-cultural realms underscores railways' pivotal role in fostering intercultural exchanges and expediting urbanisation trends. From an environmental perspective, the sustainability merits of rail transport are illuminated, accentuating the increasing pertinence of ecological considerations in railway's prospective expansion. Through meticulous case studies, a comparative narrative emerges between areas endowed with rail connectivity and those situated in relative isolation. The objective is to elucidate railways as instigators of transformative shifts. This study culminates with projections grounded in potential technological advancements poised to reshape Iran's railway infrastructure and the ensuing regional implications. Findings underscore railways' monumental impact on Iran's socio-economic fabric, illuminating their potential as change agents and offering invaluable insights for global infrastructure strategising.
