The variation of road surface temperature across a road network is influenced regionally by meteorological parameters and locally by geographical parameters. A fast and reliable technique is described which allows the continuous collection of high resolution, geographical data including the sky-view factor which is suitable for use in road climate modelling studies. Then by use of regression an...

Remote sensing has become the most important data source for the digital elevation model (DEM) generation. DEM analyses can be applied in various fields and many of them require appropriate DEM visualization support. Analytical hill-shading is the most frequently used relief visualization technique. Although widely accepted, this method has two major drawbacks: identifying details in deep shade...

Previous research has shown that there is a clear relationship between the urban morphology on one hand and local solar irradiance air temperature other hand. In order to describe climatology its spatial variations sky view factor (SVF) plays key role. This fraction of visible provides an indication street geometry building density. Adding SVF as evaluation element in planning be used coordinat...
