UCL Depthmap 7: From Isovist Analysis to Generic Spatial Network Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
This short paper discusses some of the new functions available in UCL Depthmap 7. UCL Depthmap’s original purpose was to perform integration analysis of isovists just as the integration of axial lines could be calculated. It has now developed in a number of different directions, so it has become closer to a traditional GIS system with analysis functions for graphs built in. In doing so, it has acquired features available in other space syntax software, including data layers for gate counts and building information, scattergrams and derived columns, as well as new measures and analysis of space, including agent-based tools, axial map generation and angular segment analysis.

Isovists as a Means to Predict Spatial Experience and Behavior
Two experiments are presented studying interrelations between spatial properties of environments and both experience and spatial behavior. In order to systematically study such interrelations, a generic description of space is required that provides comparability between arbitrarily shaped environments and captures behaviorally relevant properties of space. In this study the suitability of isov...
متن کاملNew Developments in Space Syntax Software
The Spatial Positioning tool (SPOT) is an isovist-based spatial analysis software, and is written in Java working as a stand-alone program. SPOT differs from regular Space syntax software as it can produce integration graphs and intervisibility graphs from a selection of positions. The concept of the software originates from a series of field studies on building interiors highly influenced by o...
متن کاملUpgrading isovist models by introducing a new set of variables based on the position of the open edges
Introduction: There are several theories about the effect of space configuration (structure) on the psychological perception of the environment. However, there is no comprehensive and consensus model that can be used to analyze and predict spatial quality or human behavior in the environment based on spatial configuration. Theories of environmental preferences as well as navigation often empha...

متن کاملA new virtual leader-following consensus protocol to internal and string stability analysis of longitudinal platoon of vehicles with generic network topology under communication and parasitic delays
In this paper, a new virtual leader following consensus protocol is introduced to perform the internal and string stability analysis of longitudinal platoon of vehicles under generic network topology. In all previous studies on multi-agent systems with generic network topology, the control parameters are strictly dependent on eigenvalues of network matrices (adjacency or Laplacian). Since some ...
