Researches and experiments in the field of transportation studies have proved that an effective and robust urban transportation system can favour sustainable urban development and optimisation of transportation facilities. Modelling urban transportation information is an engineering and research issue that has attracted the design of many conceptual and logical data models. However, the applica...

In terms of ecology, economy and society, the development of public transportation networks is a major issue. Essentially the transportation of hazardous materials can have negative impact on human health and the environment quality. The urban networks must increase their quality in terms of punctuality and vehicle frequency to improve its attractiveness while decreasing the management cost. In...

From our experiences in the past, we have seen that the growth of cities is very much dependent on the transportation networks. In mega cities, transportation networks determine to a significant extent as to where the people will move and houses will be built. Hence, transportation network data is crucial to an urban growth prediction system. Existing works have used manually derived distance b...

cities are a focal point of energy consumption. accessibility to public services has a significant impact on the balance of public and private energy uses, which are two sectors that are directly affected by urban planning (the third is industrial). this paper establishes the relative magnitudes of service accessibility enhancement on urban energy efficiency in comparison to other factors, and ...

In this chapter we propose a new method of modelling urban pollutants arising from transportation networks. The efficacy of the proposed approach is demonstrated by means of a number of examples. Our models give rise to a number of surprising observations that are relevant for the regulation of pollution in urban networks: Different actions are required for the control of different pollutants a...

In this paper we describe applications, research issues, and approaches related to Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). More specifically, we focus on spatio-temporal databases in urban transportation. We address the issues of trip planning and navigation, abstraction of concepts from spatio-temporal sensor data, mobile peer-to-peer data management, and social networks and crowd-sourcing. ...

emobility challenges of the developingworld are considerably different than those inwealthier, advanced countries, and so are the challenges of coordinating transportation and land use. Rapid population growth, poverty and income disparities, overcrowded urban cores, poorly designed road networks, spatial mismatches between housing and jobs, deteriorating environmental conditions, and economic...

A convenient urban transportation network facilitates a high-quality life and high-growth economy. Due to cascading failures being ticklish question triggering continuous road congestion, the maintenance plan is momentous restore network. Considering fault edges are removed cars slowly drive out of these ease traffic distribution model proposed analyze process. To resume network, this paper pro...

Urban transportation systems are multimodal, sociotechnical systems; however, while their multimodal aspect has received extensive attention in recent literature on multiplex networks, their sociotechnical aspect has been largely neglected. We present the first study of an urban transportation system using multiplex network analysis and validated Origin-Destination travel demand, with Riyadh's ...
