Detailed computational simulations of turbulent flows and pollution dispersion in city canyons have been carried out using the computational fluid dynamics package CFX-5, which is capable of using unstructured meshes and a variety of turbulence closure schemes. The simulations have been done for city canyons with simple to complex structures. As a validation of CFX-5, a roof garden test is cond...

With the rapid progress in the development of wireless technology, Global Positioning System (GPS) based vehicle navigation systems are being widely deployed in automobiles to serve the location-based needs of users and for efficient traffic management. An essential process in vehicle navigation is to map match the position obtained from GPS (or/and other sensors) on a road network map. This pr...
