This paper addresses large-scale urban transportation optimization problems with time-dependent continuous decision variables, a stochastic simulation-based objective function, and general analytical differentiable constraints. We propose a metamodel approach to address, in a computationally efficient way, these largescale dynamic simulation-based optimization problems. We formulate an analytic...

This paper attempts to establish an evaluating index system of land comprehensive carrying capacity in Xi'an city involving three aspects, such as economic carrying capacity, social carrying capacity, and ecological carrying capacity, combined with the development goals and constraint factors of Xi'an city. Furthermore, we adopted the method of mean-squared deviation weight decision to evaluate...

With the rapid growth of information and communication technologies, the attempt for more convenient, safe, and sustainable urban development has been going around the world. The Korean government has launched a R&D project to develop a new software platform that supports the smart city applications such as transportation, anti-disaster, anti-crime, and eco-friendly environment. This paper repo...

A lexicon-driven segmentation-recognition scheme on Bangla handwritten city-name recognition is proposed for Indian postal automation. In the proposed scheme, at first, binarization of the input document is done and then to take care of slanted handwriting of different individuals a slant correction technique is performed. Next, due to the script characteristics of Bangla, a water reservoir con...

Air pollution is one of the most important environmental problems in urban areas, being extremely critical in Mexico City. The main air pollution problem that has been identified in Mexico City metropolitan area is the formation of photochemical smog, primarily ozone. The study and development of modeling methodologies that allow the capturing of time series behavior becomes an important task. ...

Abstract—Present study is carried out on six lane divided urban arterial road in Patna and Pune city of India. Both the road having distinct differences in terms of the vehicle composition and the road side parking. Arterial road in Patan city has 33% of non-motorized mode, whereas Pune arterial road dominated by 65% of Two wheeler. Also road side parking is observed in Patna city. The field st...

Every time we visit a new city there is a huge effort made in understanding its dynamic, i.e. what are the relevant locations within that city in each time period, for there are large amounts of data to sift through. Although several attempts have been made to combine information from various sources, the majority focus on geographic data, lacking on time representation. In this paper we descri...
