TECHNICAL NOTES Area-Based Models of Highway Growth

چکیده
Empirical data and statistical models are employed to predict where new highway routes are most likely to be located. The land use, population distribution, and highway network for the Twin Cities’ Metro Area from 1958 to 1990 are used. Binary logit models estimate the likelihood a particular cell will see the construction of divided highways and secondary highways. The results show that the area’s land-use attributes and population density levels do significantly affect the likelihood of adding new highway routes.

Area-based Models of New Highway Route Growth
Empirical data and statistical models are used to answer the question of where the new highway routes are most likely to be located. High-quality land-use, population distribution and highway network GIS data for the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area from 1958 to 1990 are developed for this study. The highway system is classified into three levels, Interstate highways, divided highways, and seconda...
متن کاملInvestigating Species Diversity of Family Brassicaceae along Khorramabad-Andimeshk Highway
To achieve sustainable development as well as the conservation of natural ecosystems and their biodiversity, it is necessary to study ecological foctors and their impacts on plant species diversity. The Khorramabad-Andimeshk highway was selected in the current study to investigate the diversity of the family Brassicaceae. The length of this highway is 100 km and its height ranged from 420 to 17...
متن کاملDetermining the Proper compression Algorithm for Biomedical Signals and Design of an Optimum Graphic System to Display Them (TECHNICAL NOTES)
In this paper the need for employing a data reduction algorithm in using digital graphic systems to display biomedical signals is firstly addressed and then, some such algorithms are compared from different points of view (such as complexity, real time feasibility, etc.). Subsequently, it is concluded that Turning Point algorithm can be a suitable one for real time implementation on a microproc...
متن کاملThe SLEUTH Land Use Change Model: A Review
Land use change is driven by interaction in space and time between humans and the environment that can be captured by computer simulation models (Veldkamp and Verburg, 2004). In the last few decades, land use change models have played an important role in understanding the causes, mechanisms and consequences of land use dynamics. SLEUTH is an open source cellular automata based land use change ...
متن کاملIdentifying at Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Hotspots in Canada
This research presents a risk-based Hotspots identification model at highway-rail grade crossings in Canada. Two sets of models were developed to predict collision frequency and consequence at individual crossings. A two–dimensional graphic approach was adopted to combine these two models together to predict the risk at each crossing. Hotspots based on collision history tended to be widespread ...
