Real-time Space-time Integration in GIScience and Geography.

چکیده

Space-time integration has long been the topic of study and speculation in geography. However, in recent years an entirely new form of space-time integration has become possible in GIS and GIScience: real-time space-time integration and interaction. While real-time spatiotemporal data is now being generated almost ubiquitously, and its applications in research and commerce are widespread and rapidly accelerating, the ability to continuously create and interact with fused space-time data in geography and GIScience is a recent phenomenon, made possible by the invention and development of real-time interactive (RTI) GPS/GIS technology and functionality in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This innovation has since functioned as a core change agent in geography, cartography, GIScience and many related fields, profoundly realigning traditional relationships and structures, expanding research horizons, and transforming the ways geographic data is now collected, mapped, modeled, and used, both in geography and in science and society more broadly. Real-time space-time interactive functionality remains today the underlying process generating the current explosion of fused spatiotemporal data, new geographic research initiatives, and myriad geospatial applications in governments, businesses, and society. This essay addresses briefly the development of these real-time space-time functions and capabilities; their impact on geography, cartography, and GIScience; and some implications for how discovery and change can occur in geography and GIScience, and how we might foster continued innovation in these fields.

Incorporating Uncertainty into Time-geographic Density Estimates

Time geography provides a rigorous mathematical framework for analysing movement patterns of mobile objects (Hagerstrand 1970, Miller 2005a). Given a set of tracking data, the fundamental elements of time geography—the space-time path and space-time prism—can be used to delimit the possible movements of an object between observed data points. This basic approach has proven useful in a number of...

A numerical scheme for space-time fractional advection-dispersion equation

In this paper, we develop a numerical resolution of the space-time fractional advection-dispersion equation. We utilize spectral-collocation method combining with a product integration technique in order to discretize the terms involving spatial fractional order derivatives that leads to a simple evaluation of the related terms. By using Bernstein polynomial basis, the problem is transformed in...

A Time-Geographic Approach to Wildlife-Road Interactions

Addressing the effects of roadway presence on wildlife movement is a growing concern in both conservation and transportation planning (Corlatti et al. 2009, Fahrig and Rytwinski 2009). One common effect of road presence is the collision between vehicles and animals resulting in direct mortality if an animal attempts to cross the road (Clevenger et al. 2003, Orlowski G and Nowak L 2006). This pr...

Time-Dependent Real-Space Renormalization Group Method

In this paper, using the tight-binding model, we extend the real-space renormalization group method to time-dependent Hamiltonians. We drive the time-dependent recursion relations for the renormalized tight-binding Hamiltonian by decimating selective sites of lattice iteratively. The formalism is then used for the calculation of the local density of electronic states for a one dimensional quant...
