1-      introduction the increasing growth of urbanization in recent decade and occurring most of the economic and social activities of human being in urban environments cause that the city is considered as a place a citizen spends much time and it is one of the effective and important places in which the majority of memories, experiences, emotions are formed. thus, cities play important role i...

In the Quito historical center, due to its narrow streets, vehicular congestion is very frequent. Intelligent vehicles can be used, which have fully automatic driving, but need interact with each other. The manner in smart through vehicle networks, require installation of an infrastructure called RSU (Road Side Unit) that uses IEEE 802.11p standard and allows sending information more distant pl...

BACKGROUND The effects of daily abuse and hardship on the streets lead to poor mental health in children living on the streets, resulting in them choosing ineffective and self-destructive coping strategies that impact their physical health and overall sense of wellbeing. The facilitation of the mental health of children living on the streets who are subjected to daily threats to their survival ...

We propose a novel approach to selection of important streets from a network, based on the technique of a self-organizing map (SOM), an artificial neural network algorithm for data clustering and visualization. Using the SOM training process, the approach derives a set of neurons by considering multiple attributes including topological, geometric and semantic properties of streets. The set of n...

Deep learning has become very popular as a method to predict short-term traffic volumes on road networks, especially highway networks, based on real-time observation. Various studies have confirmed that the performance of deep learning in predicting traffic volumes is better than that of previous machine learning models and statistical models. Although it is natural to consider that the traffic...

The historic cities of Brazil, despite its colonial structure, don't fail to go through transformations that affect contemporary cities, which is the main source of problems, leading to new approaches to urban issues such as mobility and accessibility. The uncontrolled growth of tourism in the historic cities can be considered as a big problem, because at the same time, they have committed to t...

A novel method for extracting linear streets from a street network is proposed where a linear street is defined as a sequence of connected street segments having a shape similar to a straight line segment. Specifically a given street network is modeled as a Conditional Random Field (CRF) where the task of extracting linear streets corresponds to performing learning and inference with respect to...

Streets are large, diverse, and used for several (and possibly conflicting) transport modalities as well as social and cultural activities. Proper planning is essential and requires data. Manually fabricating data that represent streets (street reconstruction) is error-prone and time consuming. Automatising street reconstruction is a challenge because of the diversity, size, and scale of the de...

We describe the algorithms we have developed to automatically generate street networks and building plots in the automatic procedural creation of a realistic city. Our system first sites the important regions of a city, such as the commercial center, historical center, and residential areas. Then, a network of freeway and main roads are built. Finally, a network of streets are built throughout ...
