The start and end point of each line segment is given in an Nx2 matrix lines, the task is to find the maximum number of intersections possible of any vertical line with the given N line segments.Examples:Input: N = 4, lines = {{1, 3}, {2, 3}, {1, 2}, {4, 4}}Output: 3Explanation: A vertical line at X = 2 passes through {1, 3}, {2, 3}, {1, 2}, ie three of the…

Credit: CC0 Public Domain Pedestrian safety is critical to improving walkability in cities. To that end, NITC researchers have developed a system for collecting pedestrian behavior data using LiDAR sensors. Tested at two intersections in Texas and soon to be tested at another in Salt Lake City, Utah, the new software created by a multi-university research team is able to reliably observe pedestrian behavior and can help…

Depiction of a bike box. Credit: David Hurwitz, OSU College of Engineering A roadway setup known as the "bike box," a painted-off area for bicyclists at the front of an intersection, can help them stay safe at urban, signalized intersections, research by the Oregon State University College of Engineering indicates.…

Image showing how GAMEOPT works compared to traffic lights. The light blue regions denote the control zone. The team showed that at identical input traffic flow levels, their approach outperforms even traffic light infrastructure, resulting in less queues and enabling smooth traffic flow.
