Developing a Tool for Analysing and Generating the fittest Urban Morphology based on Sky View Factor and Insolation: With a Case Study on Yazd
Urban morphology, including buildings’ typology and their configuration, affects sky view factor and insolation, which are two of the most influential parameters in urban microclimate. These become even more important in extreme environmental conditions. In this research, challenge was to generate various rule based urban morphologies in a parametric environment. Then, to evaluate them based on...
متن کاملEstimation of Continuous Urban Sky View Factor from Landsat Data Using Shadow Detection
Sky View Factor (SVF, a dimensionless value between 0 and 1 representing obstructed and unobstructed sky, respectively) has an important influence on urban energy balance, and is a key contributor to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect experienced by heavily built up regions. Continuous urban SVF maps used in modeling the spatial distribution of UHI can be derived analytically using Lidar data; ...
متن کاملSky Viewshed Modeling for Gps Use in the Urban Environment
In an urban environment, the occlusion of satellite broadcasts varies across space and thus, preplanning for collection of GPS points requires consideration of these obstructions. This paper presents a GIS embedded model (ArcGIS and ArcObjects) for predicting GPS error via modeling PDOP in an urban environment. The "skyview" model predicted PDOP for spatial locations as a function of the percen...
متن کاملAdvances in urban climate modeling.
Cities interact with the atmosphere over a wide range of scales from the large-scale processes, which have a direct impact on global climate change, to smaller scales, ranging from the conurbation itself to individual buildings. The review presented in this paper analyzes some of the ways in which cities influence atmospheric thermodynamics and airborne pollutant transport. We present the main ...
متن کاملSky-View Factor as a Relief Visualization Technique
Remote sensing has become the most important data source for the digital elevation model (DEM) generation. DEM analyses can be applied in various fields and many of them require appropriate DEM visualization support. Analytical hill-shading is the most frequently used relief visualization technique. Although widely accepted, this method has two major drawbacks: identifying details in deep shade...
