This study is targeted at obtaining fluctuating characteristics of building wakes through measurement of unsteady velocity fields with time-resolved particle image velocimetry (PIV). Proper orthogonal decomposition is applied to the PIV data to identify low-dimensional substructures of the building wake. This leads to a more reliable estimation of the fluctuating ground-level length of the buil...

Solar energy is a new renewable energy. Using solar to generate electricity an effective means achieve sustainable development. The huge roof at the top of airport natural interface receive energy, which can be used supply needed by through building integrated photovoltaic design. However, due curved shape roof, there are limitations in acquisition and construction roof. In this paper, method “...

Our goal is to produce high-quality symbolic descriptions from aerial scenes. We have chosen to work in the domain of large commercial airport complexes. Such scenes have a variety of features such as the transportation network, building structures, and mobile objects. This paper concentrates on detection and description of the transportation network (runways and taxiways). We illustrate the co...

In this paper research is described which aims at the long term goal of a Virtual Airport Tower without the need of a real tower building, however with improved functionality. Specifically we address the intermediate step of a Remote Airport Tower Center (RTC) for remote surveillance and control of small airports. Because previous work and task analyses indicated the importance of the visual in...

This paper describes a demonstration system for visualisation of processes found in construction schedules of large-scale building projects. It was driven by plans to develop a new airport terminal building. The building model was virtualised and users were able to “step through” the various stages of its virtual construction. The system operates within a large screen VR theatre and allows seve...

Airport control hall is the key organization of air traffic system, mainly used to manage various flight activities airport. The contains numerous seats and personnel. It particularly important create a comfortable indoor environment for personnel in high-intensity working environment. But due current design code standard lack airport affiliated offices requirements physical environment, design...

So I’m in Atlanta at the end of a business trip. I’m running late, I’m exhausted, I want to get home. I’m in the bus to the airport, I can’t remember which stop is the stop for my airline, and the way the airport building is laid out, I can’t see the names of the airlines over the curb. So I have to listen for the announcement on the PA system. Which should be no problem. Except that this bus i...
