Measuring sidewalk distances using Google Earth
BACKGROUND Physical activity is an important determinant of health. Walking is the most common physical activity performed by adults and the presence of sidewalks along roads is a determinant of walking. Geographic information systems (GIS) can be used to measure sidewalks; however, GIS sidewalk data are difficult to access. The purpose of this study was to present a new GIS method for measurin...
متن کاملSidewalk Bicycling Safety Issues
Bicycle route and safety datasets for 2963 commuter cyclists in Ottawa and Toronto, Canada containing cyclist characteristics, collision and fall history, and regular commute route, are used for this analysis. Previous analyses found sidewalk collisions, fall and injury rates significantly higher on sidewalks versus roads or paths. Of the 52 events reported on sidewalks none were reported to po...
متن کاملSidewalk Following Using Color Histograms
In this paper, we present the development of an algorithm for sidewalk following for a mobile robot. The algorithm classifies pixels of a video frame as either sidewalk or background. The classification of pixels is performed using color histograms of the hue and saturation of various areas of an image taken by an on-board camera. This color histogram approach allows the algorithm to detect and...
متن کاملParsing Walking Directions Using Sidewalk Networks
This paper proposes an advanced method of geocoding for walking directions in documents using daily local expressions. Walking directions are usually described in casual expressions, but not in regular ones like address. Thus, it has been considered practically impossible to geocode walking directions. However, sidewalk network databases in major cities of Japan have been available for human na...
متن کاملInvestigation of PPD index in thermal comfort of urban open spaces in Summer , case study: sidewalk river side Khorramabad
Nowadays, the issue of thermal comfort has been raised as one of the important factors in the quality of urban spaces along with physical factors. In fact, the quality of urban spaces is important for the use of citizens and should be considered. However, due to the impact of various parameters in urban open spaces that affect the thermal comfort of users and the lack of codified principles in ...
