A BIM - GIS Integrated Information Model Using Semantic Web and RDF Graph Databases
In recent years, 3D virtual indoor and outdoor urban modelling has become an essential geospatial information framework for civil and engineering applications such as emergency response, evacuation planning, and facility management. Building multi-sourced and multi-scale 3D urban models are in high …

DYNAMIC GEOSPATIAL MODELLING AND SIMULATION OF PREDOMINANTLY INFORMAL CITIES: AN INTEGRATED AGENT-BASED AND CELLULAR AUTOMATA MODEL OF URBAN GROWTH
Against the backdrop of urbanization, cities have evolved globally, but more so in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) in recent decades. Cities in the sub-region differ in many ways from those in other parts of world. One of the major differences is the overwhelmingly informal nature of urban growth in many …

Analysis and Prediction of the Commuting Mode Choices in England Using Bayesian Networks
… already used extensively in medical research. In urban studies, BN models haven been recently applied in producing synthetic populations, for example, for urban “digital twins”. However, in spite of their potential, BNs are rarely developed for modelling travel mode choice or travel behaviour more …

Incorporation of micro-level analysis in strategic urban transport modelling: with a case study of the Greater Beijing
… countries and regions are suffering from severe urban transport problems arising from accidents, congestion, air pollution, rising carbon intensity, and chronic under-funding of infrastructure and services. The problems make those cities the most polluted and often the least liveable. Strategic …
