  Intersection number - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the concept of intersection number arose in algebraic geometry, where two curves intersecting at a point may be considered to 'meet twice' if they are tangent there.
In the sense that 'multiple intersections' are limiting cases of n-fold intersections at n points which come into coincidence, one needs a definition of intersection number in order to state theorems about counting intersections in a precise way.
The requirements of the general theory are to handle intersections in any dimensions, and in algebraic topology as well.

The intersections are numbered from 1 to i consecutively.
A number of lines follow, each containing three positive integers: the number of an intersection, the number of a different intersection, and the length of the road segment connecting the intersections.
You are to output a single integer: the lowest intersection number at which a new fire station should be built so as to minimize the maximum distance from any intersection to the nearest fire station.

 Safety Effectiveness of Intersection Left- and Right-Turn Lanes - Appendix A. Summary of Intersection Safety Studies
At intersections along rural two-lane highways, installation of a traffic signal and left-turn lane reduced the total number of accidents by 19.7 percent, while the installation of a traffic signal without left-turn channelization reduced the total number of accidents by 6 percent.
The number of lanes on the major roadway and the crossroad were found to be a significant factor in predicting injury accidents at signalized intersections.
The number of lanes on the major roadway was found to be a significant factor in predicting injury accidents at unsignalized intersections.

In this method we count the number of intersections of a ray with all edges of the polygon.
If the number of edges of the polygon intersected by the ray is even then the point P is outside the polygon, and if the number of intersections is odd then the point P lies inside the polygon.
We have developed a method which avoids the generation of polygons from the intersection of the triangulated surface and the plane through the point to be tested which is computation complex.

Roberts [1978] showed that the competition number of a chordal graph is less than or equal to one and it seems natural to ask about the competition number of a graph having exactly one hole (a hole is a chordless cycle of length at least 4).
In this talk, we present the result showing that the competition number of such a graph G is less than or equal to two, and give conditions under which the competition number of G is less than or equal to one.

 Making Intersections Safer: A Toolbox of Engineering Countermeasures to Reduce Red-Light Running   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The law as stated in the UVC is considered a permissive yellow law, meaning that the driver can enter the intersection during the entire yellow interval and be in the intersection during the red indication as long as he/she entered the intersection during the yellow interval.
A two-hour traditional enforcement effort at a highvolume intersection in Raleigh, NC resulted in 36 tickets, which is a rate of 18 violations per hour or an average of one violation about every 3.5 minutes (min.) (5).
Separate models were developed for the "mainline as entering street" and the "cross-street as entering street." Therefore, a crash where the violating vehicle entered the intersection from the lower-volume road was modeled using "cross-street as entering street" and the mainline road is considered the crossing street.

Conversely, every intersection point determines a unique set of four vertices, namely the endpoints of the two diagonals intersecting at that point.
So the number of intersection points is equal to the number of ways to select 4 vertices from n, which is
To count all the intersection points we now multiply by the number of vertices n, and divide by 4 to account for the fact that every intersection point involves four vertices and thus is being counted four times.
