TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND INTRA‐URBAN TRIP PATTERN IN ZARIA

Urban Sprawl Pattern and Its Implications for Urban Management (Case Study: Zaria Urban Area, Nigeria)

Urban sprawl, or the unplanned and uncontrolled spreading out of built-up areas in Zaria urban area causes problems of congestion, poor urban basic infrastructure delivery and poor urban planning. This paper analyzed the pattern and implications of urban sprawl using GIS and Remote sensing as an improved approach to analyze and explain sprawling beyond the traditional spatial or cartographic ma...

Trip pattern of low-density residential area in semi urban industrial cluster: predictive modeling

This research elucidates the trip pattern of the low-density residential zone in a semi-urban industrial cluster of southwestern Nigeria. These sets of dwellers are often times neglected in the transportation planning process with the view that it is not a residential zone. Domiciliary information gathering procedure was employed in the analysis with 0.82 return rates. It was backed up with the...

Pattern of accident distribution in the telecommunications industry.

Examination of the accident records from the telecommunication industry covering some 100 000 engineers over a 12-month period showed that 25% of accidents resulting in more than three days' sick leave gave rise to back injuries. Handling accidents and falls accounted for 65% of three-day-plus accidents; handling accidents alone gave rise to 65% of back injuries. The absolute numbers of acciden...

Trip Pattern Mining Using Large Scale Geo-tagged Photos

Photo-sharing websites allows people to display their experiences on the Web through rich media data such as photos and videos. These photos contain spatial context in terms of latitude and longitude where the photo was taken. The geotagged photos disclose much information about people travel behavior and tourist density. As web-based and mobile-based technologies advance, geo-tagged photos are...
