Successful streets : performance measures, community engagement, and urban street design
… agencies have increasingly re-designed urban arterials, their cities' major surface streets, to better accommodate a wide range of users. At the same time, a growing number of agencies are using performance measurement, the tracking and reporting of specific transportation-related …

Urban Street Design of Mid-size Chinese Cities: The Case of Lishui
… the traditional human dimensions and function of streets has changed, being replaced by modern, engineered roads and large poorly defined open spaces. This is causing many problems such as loss of street vitality, safety, negative climatic conditions and the lack of designated spaces for walking, …

Accounting for midblock pedestrian activity in the HCM 2010 urban street segment analysis
The Urban Street segment analysis Chapter of the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM 2010) provides a methodology for analyzing automobile performance on signalized roadway segments within an urban roadway network. The methodology involves applying a platoon dispersion model to: a) predict the …

Community detection on urban street networks : a segmentation model for urban logistics policy and planning
… 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 aggregation, e.g., discrete demand zones, to be used in a study of urban freight distribution, extant …

Impact of urban form on concentration of air pollutants within street canyons at pedestrian level
… or paid less attention to microclimate and urban form attributes and their impact on air pollution concentrations or dispersion in urban spaces, particularly within urban street canyons. Considering the above, this study postulates that there is a correlation between urban form and air …

Passive enhancement of air flow at pedestrian level in built environments
… due to flow obstruction induced by buildings. Urban street canyons, the outdoor spaces formed between buildings, often have much lower wind speed than the atmospheric wind above the roof level. In tropical regions, wind plays an important role to improve outdoor thermal comfort of urban …

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 …

Outdoor wind speed enhancement in residential precincts in tropical cities
Wind speeds in urban areas are significantly reduced due to the blockage effects of urban structures. Lower wind speeds inhibit passive ventilation and reduce thermal comfort in tropical cities. This thesis uses both experimental and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling to explore the …
