A city and its transportation network are both complicated systems. Fractal geometry provides an effective way to describe the complex property of geographical features. This paper uses a modified box-counting method to describe the fractal property of urban transportation networks. Assuming that human settlements of different sizes are all operated by the same growth procedure, this paper inve...

Demand estimation is an important step for multiple applications in urban studies. However, the level of accuracy required depends on objective study. In dynamic traffic microsimulation, demand needs to be accurate, as it intended describe individuals' trips a very small-scale. this case, poor trip initiation, path, and endings could result wrong city-block scale's state. Estimating at large-sc...

China has been through a period of remarkable urban sprawl since the reform and opening-up policy in 1978, with the highest urbanization occurring in the coastal zones. Sustainable urban development requires a better understanding of the spatiotemporal characteristics of urbanization. This study systematically explored urban sprawl in Chinese coastal cities with a visual interpretation method f...
