This working paper serves as an introductory reference for those studying the application of land-use–transportation models to the simulation of urban systems. The paper is by no means comprehensive, but aims to provide the reader with a foundation in the basic principles underlying land-use–transportation models and to set those principles in the context of urban management and urban studies. ...

The lack of public charging infrastructure has been one the main barriers preventing technological transition from traditional vehicles to electric vehicles. To accelerate this transition, it is necessary elaborate optimal station location strategies increase user confidence, and maintain investment costs within acceptable levels. However, existing works for purpose are often based on multipath...

This research has been conducted mainly to examine the role of social networks in promoting urban culture in Karaj citizens in 2018. The research intends to investigate the role of attendance in social networks and the type of using it to promote urban culture and social networks' role in the legalism, responsibility, participation, and universality that are the components of urban culture. Thi...

IN FR A STR U C TU R E The condition of the nation’s infrastructure has been the subject of several major studies in recent years. As could be expected, Canada has similar problems concerning the condition of the infrastructure. Needs studies undertaken from the late 1970s to the present suggest four major conclusions: the nation’s infrastructure has been maintained unevenly; many public facili...

With the growing demand of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for safer and more efficient transportation, research on and development of such vehicular communication systems have increased considerably in the last years. The use of wireless networks in vehicular environments has grown exponentially. However, it is highly important to analyze radio propagation prior to the deployment of a...

One of the current challenges in urban planning concerns the urban transportation involving multi-mode transportation. One of the ways to evaluate different situations in order to make decisions of how, when and where to invest is using multimodal traffic simulation. This paper presents a review about multimodal traffic simulation, identifying the state of art and directions for future work. Ke...

Today, urban transportation has attracted urban planners’ and researchers' attention because of air and noise pollution problems associated with it. In Shahrkord city in Iran, no plans have been made for sustainable transportation, and the available poor transportation infrastructure is not responsive to the growing population of the city. This issue has inflicted the city with serious problems...
