Detection of unusual objects amongst a highly textured background is a difficult problem, especially when the texture is manifest in the temporal dimension as well. Outdoor scenes involving waving trees or moving water are examples of such a scenario, but are nevertheless frequently encountered in real world vision applications. By defining a simple but rotationally sensitive Local Binary Patte...

It is well-known that the ultra-peripheral territories as Islands present several limitations such lack of resources, restricted land, mass tourism, and barriers to movement, connectivity between urban centers. These obstacles make regions suitable case studies considering their territorial governance consequently, sustainable development growth. Thus, transportation infrastructure sustainabili...

Transportation is one of the most important issues in today's cities. Urban trips and their spatial and temporal patterns influence and are influenced by other components and functions of the city. Information and communication technology have evolved rapidly over the last few decades and have influenced urban travel patterns in many ways. Numerous studies have attempted to study the effects of...

The objectives were (1) to define physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviors (SB) patterns in daily life contexts (work, leisure, and transportation) in French working women from NutriNet-Santé web-cohort and (2) to identify pattern(s) of active transportation and their individual, social, and environmental correlates. 23,432 participants completed two questionnaires to evaluate PA and SB i...

in a military organization, the role of transportation should be much more strong and strategic character for the organization. in this context, the evaluation of operating ability of transportation and eliminate defects and problems, can help the managers to improve performance and increase the effectiveness and efficiency of transportation in the assigned missions. in this study, a model is p...

BACKGROUND Active transportation including walking and bicycling is an important source of physical activity. Promoting active transportation is a challenge for the fields of public health and transportation. Descriptive data on the predictors of active transportation, including seasonal patterns in active transportation in the US as a whole, is needed to inform interventions and policies. ME...

This paper is an endeavor to quantify the concept of sustainable transportation. The prevailing idea in the context of sustainable development (SD) emphasizes on the reduction of transportation demand in order to reduce the environmental and social consequences of it. Nevertheless, in the current paper using a measure for SD, and based on the conformity of the growths of all sectors with transp...

Human mobility has been empirically observed to exhibit Lévy flight characteristics and behaviour with power-law distributed jump size. The fundamental mechanisms behind this behaviour has not yet been fully explained. In this paper, we propose to explain the Lévy walk behaviour observed in human mobility patterns by decomposing them into different classes according to the different transportat...
