We extend the impact decomposition proposed by LeSage and Thomas-Agnan (2015) in spatial interaction model to a more general framework, where sets of origins destinations can be different, relevant attributes characterizing do not coincide with those destinations. These extensions result three flow data configurations which we study extensively: square, rectangular, noncartesian cases. propose ...

Non-intuitive styles of interaction between humans and mobile robots still constitute a major barrier to the wider application and acceptance of mobile robot technology. More natural interaction can only be achieved if ways are found of bridging the gap between the forms of spatial knowledge maintained by such robots and the forms of language used by humans to communicate such knowledge. In thi...

Spatial interaction models are used to simulate interactions between residents in a given area and some facility. Principal factors innuencing the degree of interaction are the distance from a household to the facility, the size and type of population within the area, the attractiveness of the facility and the competition from other facilities in the area. The spatial interaction model discusse...
