Urban traffic analysis is crucial for traffic forecasting systems, urban planning and, more recently, various mobile and network applications. In this paper, we analyse urban traffic with network and statistical methods. Our analysis is based on one big bus dataset containing 45 million bus arrival samples in Helsinki. We mainly address following questions: 1. How can we identify the areas that...

We consider the problem of deploying and (re)configuring resources in a “cloud” setting, where interconnected software components and services can be deployed on clusters of heterogeneous (virtual) machines that can be created and connected on-the-fly. We introduce the Aeolus component model to capture similar scenarii from realistic cloud deployments, and instrument automated planning of day-t...

A hierarchical control architecture for mission re-planning of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) navigating in uncertain ocean environment is presented in this paper. The proposed componentoriented control architecture structured is made of three parts: situation reasoning, re-planning trigger and hierarchical re-planning layer. Situation reasoning using the unstructured real-word information...

Object Oriented Design by Prototype Methodology (OODPM) integrates two known technologies: the object approach and the prototype concept. Object oriented methodology is used for internal system design, and prototype methodology is used for external system design. OODPM has certain benefits: in the planning and development phase, it reduces misunderstandings between the planner, the developer, a...

there has been extensive debates about the similarities and differences between urban planning educations in developed versus developing counties. some believe that increasing interdependence among nations, an ever greater need for cross – cultural cooperation,  is required to close the gap in skill and knowledge between developed and developing countries and shrinking international borders mak...

Food production on the urban–rural fringe is under pressure due to competing land uses. We discuss the potential to improve resilience for urban–rural regions by enhancing food production as part of multifunctional land use. Through studies of peri-urban land in the regions of Gothenburg (Sweden), Copenhagen (Denmark) and Gent (Belgium), recent developments are analysed. Arable farming has been...

objective: in addition to issues such as environment, transportation, safely and urban planning, one of the most important factors  having increasingly influence on urban organizing factors is urban management. methods: there are so many issues in cities that for its solving, urban management factor is necessary. complexity and  extensiveness of urban issue and its  development and growth, led ...

increasing rate of world population growth has tremendous and of ten detrimental impacts on natural environment of our planet. unreasonable consumption of non-renewable sources of energy, deforestation, and the extinction of species are among these impacts. there are many who believe that global warming which is resulted due to population :growth, urbanization and over and irresponsible consump...

environmental impacts, pollutants, occupational stresses, population density, and health and safety problems are side effects of rapid urbanization. these problems threaten human being, especially children as the prominent vulnerable group in every human settlement. in this article playground as one of the main urban spaces has been emphasized. safety ignorance can affect on community in both o...
