A computer implemented method for generating traffic pathways that includes recording images from a transportation site with a fixed position camera. The method further includes extracting vehicle point data from the images, and calculating projected vehicle characteristics from the extracted point data to provide an extracted vehicle continuous data set. The method may further include generating a simulated traffic flow and simulated vehicle motion from the extracted vehicle continuous data set. A traffic pathway can be calculated using simulated vehicle motion and simulated traffic flow. The traffic pathway can be used for directing a guided vehicle on the transportation site.

To provide an electrode wire for electrical discharge machining including &#x3b2;-brass and &#x3b3;-brass arranged on an outer peripheral surface of a core and a method of manufacturing the electrode wire, capable of enhancing wire connection performance and cutting down manufacturing cost while trying to increase a processing speed. The electrode wire for electrical discharge machining according to this invention comprises: an external layer including &#x3b2;-brass and &#x3b3;-brass; and a core having an undulating shape formed at a boundary surface with the external layer. The &#x3b2;-brass and the &#x3b3;-brass are arranged densely and sparsely at the boundary surface of the undulating shape. The method of manufacturing an electrode wire for electrical discharge machining according to this invention comprises: a thermal processing step of executing thermal process on a base material under a predetermined thermal processing condition, the base material having a core with a zinc-coated surface; and a wire drawing step of drawing a base wire under a predetermined wire drawing condition provided with &#x3b2;-brass and &#x3b3;-brass formed at the surface of the core by the thermal process to make the &#x3b3;-brass reach the core, thereby forming a boundary surface of the core with an external layer into an undulating shape.
