Street network connectivity and local travel behaviour: assessing the relationship of travel outcomes to disparate pedestrian and vehicular street network connectivity
This research investigated the association of street network connectivity differences across travel modes with travel behaviour – mode choice, distance traveled and number of trips. To date research on travel behaviour relationships with urban form has not developed empirical evidence on street …

A study of street network configurations using deep learning
… on deep learning for the study and design of street network configurations. It aims to fill an existing gap in the use of deep learning in this field, through hypothesising that convolutional neural network (CNN) and generative adversarial network (GAN) models can make a revolutionary …

Influence of the city geometric features on the two fluid model parameters
The traffic flow in an urban street network is a complicated system which involves many variables. Some of these variables relate to the network's geometric features; some of these variables reflect the characteristics of the vehicles, drivers and pedestrians using the network. The Two Fluid Model …

Strategies for the alleviation of traffic congestion in the central city of Athens
… are everyday problems for the Athenians. The street network and the public transportation systems are not able to accommodate the existing traffic demands. An effort was made to address the transportation needs, that require an immediate solution, in the central Athens area. Traffic counts and …

The Feasibility of Closing Vehicle Crossings along St. Charles Avenue: A Study of Transit Safety and Performance
<p>The St. Charles streetcar is an important transit line in the city of New Orleans, with about 65,000 people living within a ½ mile walking distance from it. However, the line experiences a very high streetcar/automobile crash rate due in large part to the large number of grade vehicle crossings …

Centers all the way down: a study of centrality in the modern city
… so that the morphological properties of the street network associated with each scale may be analyzed using space syntax and other tools. We will then compare the distribution of centers in different portions of Atlanta, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Finally, we will compate the …

Travel Time Estimation on Arterial Streets
Estimation of real-time travel times on arterial streets has been a challenging task due to the intersection control delay as well as bottleneck delay from the downstream link. Therefore, few transportation professionals have conducted research at utilizing the dynamic flow methods to estimate …

Community detection on urban street networks : a segmentation model for urban logistics policy and planning
… the community detection methods employed by network studies in a wide variety of contexts and adapts their use to the segmentation of an urban street network. In order to form partitions of urban street networks that are manageable as delivery territories or similar units of spatial …

Neighborhood design for Cambridge
… design is the creation of workable, attractive street network and parking layout. There problems are examined and street performance criteria set. Also important for a modest housing scheme is the image of the buildings project to the surrounding community. Photographs of numerous examples of …

The Impacts of Road Capacity Removal
… and volume-capacity (V/C) ratios in freeways and streets in the areas surrounding the removed freeways. Overall, the results showed that when urban freeways are removed from the network, the traffic redistributes throughout the surrounding network. These case studies had significant excess …

Finally, the third paper tests the idea that neighborhood form persists over time in the context of the United States Housing Corporation, the first housing initiative funded by the federal government in 1918. Comparing neighborhoods …

Social-based trustworthy data forwarding in vehicular delay tolerant networks
Vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is an emerging new communication technol-ogy which has attracted a lot of research attention from academic community and indus-try. For many applications in VANETs, information has to be transmitted through mul-tiple hops before it reaches its destination that makes …

Public space as an anchor in suburban commercial development : new main streets and town centers.
… 1990s. Its prototype may be called the new Main Street/Town Center (MS/TC). The model reacts to complex economic and social circumstances using a public-space anchored design approach. A major motivation for the trend is the unquantified, but recognizably growing demand for a greater sense of …
