Towards Rapid 3d Modelling of Urban Areas
Modelling and simulation applications for operations in urban areas often set high resolution and fidelity requirements for the 3D environment models. For applications supporting ongoing operations, e.g decision support, mission planning, etc., additional requirements such as time frame and accessibility to the area of interest must also be taken into account in the modelling task. One possible...
متن کاملThe Traffic Safety Problem in Urban Areas
As the number of people who reside and work in urban areas increases, so, too, do the needs and demands placed on the infrastructure. This has led to severe congestion in many European cities, a situation which affects not only the environment in terms of pollution, but most notably levels of traffic safety. In Europe, tens of thousands of people are killed in road traffic accidents, and more t...
متن کاملEditorial: crime patterns in time and space: the dynamics of crime opportunities in urban areas
The routine activity approach and associated crime pattern theory emphasise how crime emerges from spatio-temporal routines. In order to understand this crime should be studied in both space and time. However, the bulk of research into crime patterns and related activities has investigated the spatial distributions of crime, neglecting the temporal dimension. Specifically, disaggregation of cri...
متن کاملFractal cartography of urban areas
In a world in which the pace of cities is increasing, prompt access to relevant information is crucial to the understanding and regulation of land use and its evolution in time. In spite of this, characterization and regulation of urban areas remains a complex process, requiring expert human intervention, analysis and judgment. Here we carry out a spatio-temporal fractal analysis of a metropoli...
متن کاملThe Growth of Urban Areas in Australia
This paper analyses the main causes of the growth in population and employment in urban areas in Australia. We find that two-thirds of the variations in growth rates between 1981 and 1991 are explained by four factors: an inland location, a reliance on primary sector production, a tourist orientation, and suburban growth. Tourism and suburban growth greatly increased both population and employm...
