In this project we focuss on intelligent dynamic urban traffic management and control system that can adaptively respond to real-time traffic conditions. In this paper we investigate the usability and aplicability of autonomous intelligent agents, while maintaining high levels of accuracy and usability of such a dynamic urban traffic system. Aim of this part of the research is to develop insigh...

A Wireless Sensor Network applications include a set of isolated urban areas deployed with sensor nodes for monitoring environmental parameters. In urban area vehicles viz (buses, vans, cars, etc) are used as to carry the mobile sinks to collect the sensory data effectively which provides the ideal infrastructure. Existing approach include only single hop transfer, which transfer data directly ...

This paper proposes a novel generalisation model for selecting characteristic streets in an urban street network. This model retains the central structure of a street network. It relies on a structural representation of a street network using graph principles where vertices represent named streets and links represent street intersections. Based on this representation, so-called connectivity gra...

In this paper we investigate non-dominant collective urban mobility patterns in user-generated mobile network traffic data using a visual analytics tool. Based on our previous approach and results, we herein focus on the next level of mobility detail: we visually dig deeper and disclose some nondominant, potentially hidden mobility patterns in four urban test areas in Northern Italy. The result...

This paper analyzes the impact of battery storage in power distribution networks. It evaluates in particular the savings in network reinforcements for using storage in the low voltage side of MV/LV transformer substations, in order to reduce their peak load. The sensitivity analysis comprises three realistic large-scale networks in different distribution areas (urban, semi-urban and rural), thr...

New impulses from theoretical discussions on urban planning strengthen the role of participation in urban planning. Combining this development with the options computerand network-based technologies offer promises to improve the citizens' satisfaction with the results of planning procedures. We summarise the new theoretical approaches and discuss first examples and further ideas to realise them...

Most parts of the urban areas are faced with the problem of floating fine particulate matter. Therefore, it is crucial to estimate the amounts of fine particulate matter concentrations through the urban atmosphere. In this research, an artificial neural network technique was utilized to model the PM2.5 dispersion in Tehran City. Factors which are influencing the predicted value consi...

background: recently, the relevance of social interactions as determinants of behavioral intentions has been increasingly perceived, but there is a lack of knowledge on how and why it interacts with couples’ fertility intentions. objective: this qualitative study was conducted to explore the influence of social network on couples’ intention to have their first child in urban society of mashhad,...
