The equivalence of random walks on weighted graphs with reversible Markov chains has long been known. Another such correspondence exists between electric networks and these random walks. Results in the language of random walks have analogues in the language of electric networks and visa versa. We outline this correspondence and describe how to translate several of the major terms of electric ne...

This paper describes a study of daily personal travel time in the Minneapolis-St.Paul, Minnesota metropolitan area and how and why it changed between 1990 and 2001.This has two major components. The first is the relationship between commute and non-commute travel time. The second is the relationship between mode choice, total dailytravel time, and automobile travel time. Bot...

Analyzing historical vehicle traffic data has many applications including urban planning and intelligent in-vehicle route prediction. A common practice to acquire this data is through roadside sensors. This approach is expensive because of infrastructure and planning costs and cannot be easily applied to new routes. In this paper, a low-cost Web mining approach is proposed to address these limi...

Abstract Although there is a growing body of literature on the commuting pattern rural migrants in China, few studies have examined diversity behavior among workers with different occupations. The present research used 2015 Xiamen household travel survey to examine distances and times distinctive types city. results reveal differences behaviors socioeconomic groups, namely blue-collar, pink-col...

Commute time embedding involves computing eigenfunctions of the graph Laplacian matrix. Spectral decomposition requires computational burden proportional to 3 ( ) O n , which may not be suitable for large scale dataset. This paper proposes computationally efficient commute time embedding by applying Nyström method to the normalized graph Laplacian. The performance of the proposed algorithms is ...

There is interest in understanding which characteristics of metropolitan areas impact the length time or distance residents spend commuting. We utilize two measures recently introduced to urban literature capturing distinct dimensions employment decentralization –the level deconcentration and spatial dispersion – assess how they are related commuting patterns across areas. These urban/metropoli...

cities have hinterlands which depend on various factors such as economic power, population, distance and etc. tehran megalopolis has also numerous hinterlands .tehran as the capital city of the country is considered at the top of urban system hierarchy and has a very special place from economic, political, educational and etc. points of view. all these abilities cause a daily stream of people f...

Many animals establish, learn and optimize routes between locations to commute efficiently. One step in understanding route following is defining measures of similarities the paths taken by animals. Paths have commonly been compared using several descriptors (e.g., speed, distance traveled, or amount meandering) were visually classified into categories experimenters. However, similar quantities...
