Positioning Urban Morphology

Urban Positioning Using Smartphone-Based Imaging

Orientation and navigation in a world dominated by visual signs is still a major problem for blind and visually impaired people. The Global Positioning System is of limited use due to its inaccuracy particularly in urban environments. Therefore, we propose a novel approach of precise localization on predefined routes with the help of smartphones and image processing techniques. From an initial ...

The Relationship between Urban Morphology and Urban Designing Guidance

Urban morphology as “knowledge of urban form”, has notable capacities to participate in comprehension and management of urban development, specially in this days cities have faced with unprecedented changes that create problem for cities inhabitants in perception and creation of cities image and also have confronted designers with a serious question to control and guide new constructions. Use o...

Wind Speed Reduction Induced by Urban Morphology

Accurate prediction of advection and turbulent mixing is fundamental to understanding the transport and deposition of atmospheric pollutants. There is mounting evidence hinting at overestimation of wind speed in the urban airshed by conventional mesoscale NWP models. This has been hypothesized as a factor contributing to air quality models underestimating pollutant concentrations in highly urba...
