This paper focuses on modeling of Urban Traffic System using Model Driven Engineering (MDE) and Activity Theory (AT) concept. It highlights the relationship between MDE and A.T. generating a notational framework. This framework is added with the Cartesian Fuzzy set measures and quantifies the uncertainty in modeling Urban Traffic System.

pay attention to the public transportation, cycling and pedestrian oriented development (pod) and car-free streets can increase the quality of urban spaces and create more secure pedestrians with psychological comfort for human. old urban fabric with hidden physical, historical, and cultural values has been the best evidence of urban identity and meanwhile, the life and growth of this fabric ha...

China’s southeast coastal areas have witnessed rapid growth in the last two decades, owing mostly to their economic and social attractions. In this paper, we chose Jimei, a coastal peri-urban district of Xiamen city on the southeast coast of China, as a study area to explore the district’s growth dynamics, to predict future sprawl during the next decade and to provide a basis for urban planning...

Data mining refers to the extraction of knowledge from large amounts of data using pattern recognition, statistical methods, and artificial intelligence. The decision tree method, a well-known data mining technique, is used to extract decision rules because using it, we can understand the grounds of classification or prediction. The decision tree method thus can be used to analyze spatial data....

The depiction and navigation of large-scale urban landscapes are limited by the great cost of traditional computer-aided design (CAD) models for large urban environment in terms of both the labor of data entry and the runtime computational expense. This article presents a hybrid modeling approach that enables rapid urban model production from legacy spatial data. Our scheme fills the gap betwee...

The transformation of the US Army to the Objective Force will rely heavily upon the use of modeling and simulation (M&S) for analysis, including assessment of our ability to fight in urban environments. Current model research for military operations in urban terrain (MOUT) is disjoint. Current models are judged to be insufficient as a foundation for simulation of urban operations. The Army Mode...

extended abstract 1. introduction after industrial revolution, complex economic and technical developments led to wide changes in the size of cities, the proportion of the population in urban areas, and the growth rate of urbanization (johnson, 1998). more than half of the world population currently lives in urban areas and the uncontrolled expansion of cities is becoming a global concern. it i...

This study demonstrates the potential value, and difficulties, in utilizing large-scale, location aware, administrative data together with urban modeling in order to address current policy issues in a timely fashion. We take advantage of a unique dataset of millions of odometer readings from annual safety inspections of all private passenger vehicles in Metropolitan Boston to estimate the vehic...
