Spatial Behavior in Transportation Modeling and Planning

The recent policy discussions about information technology in transport and trafficdemand management have increased the interest in activity-based approaches to the analysis oftravel behaviour, in particular in the modelling of household activity scheduling which is at thecore of many of the required changes in travel behaviour. The paper is a state-of-the-art reviewof conceptua...

New Spatial Planning Models

Recent advances in computer memory and speed and new specialised software for the capture, manipulation and presentation of spatial information have vastly increased the possibilities of spatial planning models. The aggregation error of zones can now be overcome by new and efficient ways of spatial interpolation, spurious equilibrium assumptions can be replaced by the dynamics of different spee...

Resilience-Based Framework for Distributed Generation Planning in Distribution Networks

Events with low probability and high impact, which annually cause high damages, seriously threaten the health of the distribution networks. Hence, more attention to the issue of enhancing network resilience and continuity of power supply, feels more than ever, all over the world. In modern distribution networks, because of the increasing presence of distributed generation resources, an alternat...
