Curitiba, Brazil
SUMMARY Curitiba's bus system was developed as an integral part of an overall master plan whose basic objectives included radial expansion of the city along five corridors (structural axes), integrating land use and transport, and protecting the traditional city center. The median busways in each corridor are in the center of a " trinary " road system (busway, local street, one-way arterial). D...
متن کاملSandpiles with height restrictions.
We study stochastic sandpile models with a height restriction in one and two dimensions. A site can topple if it has a height of two, as in Manna's model, but, in contrast to previously studied sandpiles, here the height (or number of particles per site), cannot exceed two. This yields a considerable simplification over the unrestricted case, in which the number of states per site is unbounded....
متن کامل[Annoyance caused by urban noise to the citizens of Curitiba, Brazil].
The study describes people's reaction to environmental noise in Curitiba, a city of approximately 1.6 million inhabitants in Brazil. Data was collected using questionnaires randomly delivered to the city's residents. Out of 1,000 questionnaires, 860 (86%) were returned and assessed. The main noise sources found as disturbing were motor vehicle traffic (73%) and neighbors (38%), which were rated...
متن کاملVision-based navigation through urban canyons
We address the problem of navigating unmanned vehicles safely through urban canyons in two dimensions using only vision-based techniques. Two commonly used vision-based obstacle avoidance techniques (namely stereo vision and optic flow) are implemented on an aerial and a ground-based robotic platform and evaluated for urban canyon navigation. Optic flow is evaluated for its ability to produce a...
متن کاملShadow Matching: A New GNSS Positioning Technique for Urban Canyons
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is unreliable in dense urban areas, known as urban canyons, which have tall buildings or narrow streets. This is because the buildings block the signals from many of the satellites. Combining GPS with other Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) significantly increases the availability of direct line-of-sight signals. Modelling is used to demonstrate that...
