Assessing the Effects of Infrastructure, Land Use and Built-Environment on the Bicycle Mode Choice in Urban Trips Using A Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Approach

This study identified the most important variables affecting the choice of bicycles in urban travel in terms of infrastructure, land use, and environmental conditions and could be a roadmap for future studies with a special look at the variables related to land use. Cycling has long been a way of traveling, especially in urban settings. But choosing this mode of travel requires improvements to ...

Infrastructure for observing local human–environment interactions

Imagine a world where nature and society coexist in a healthy symbiosis, where human impacts on the environment are minimal, and where communities are safe from natural and technological hazards. Imagine a time when scientists can monitor such sustainable human–environment interactions, when they can interactively share and compare data, analyses, and ideas about those interactions from their h...

An Evaluation of Infrastructure-free and Infrastructure-based Indoor Positioning Methods with the Focus on Pedestrian Dead Reckoning

The expansion of location-based services (LBS) and their applications has led to a growing interest in localization, which can be done on the smartphone platform. Various positioning techniques can be used for indoor or outdoor positioning. Indoor positioning systems have been one of the most challenging technologies in location-based services over the past decade. Considering the increase of p...
