In urban public transport, smart card data is made of millions of observations of users boarding vehicles over the network across several days. The issue addresses whether data mining techniques can be used to study user behaviour from these observations. This must be done with the help of transportation planning knowledge. Hence, this paper presents a common “transportation planning/data minin...

One of the goals of Educational Data Mining is to develop the methods for student modeling based on educational data, such as; chat conversation, class discussion, etc. On the other hand, individual behavior and personality play a major role in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) and Educational Data Mining (EDM). Thus, to develop a user adaptable system, the student’s behaviors that occurring d...

In this paper, we present a distributed infrastructure based on wireless sensors network and Grid computing technology for air pollution monitoring and mining, which aims to develop low-cost and ubiquitous sensor networks to collect real-time, large scale and comprehensive environmental data from road traffic emissions for air pollution monitoring in urban environment. The main informatics chal...

Mobile phones are one of the most commonly owned personal electronic devices and they contain about 15 different metals, mostly extracted with severe negative environmental externalities. Sourcing metals from retired mobile phones, i.e. urban mining, could alleviate these effects. In this study, we analyse viability mining in Switzerland using a representative survey 2,500 Swiss respondents an ...

This study aims to grasp urban regeneration issues over 10 years since the introduction of policies. For this purpose, keywords and networks were analyzed for titles 45,030 local daily newspapers provided by BIGKinds. The results are as follows. Above all, main policy stance (‘public participation’, ‘local government’, economy’ etc.), delivery system (‘leading area’, ‘competition’, ‘urban suppo...

Background & objectives: The urban rail transport network is always at risk due to its special conditions. Many cases indicate the existence of threatening and risk factors for human societies in urban rail transportation systems. Therefore, in this study, with the aim of identifying and prioritizing the risks of urban rail transportation networks in order to increase resilience is on the agend...
