The impact of scale on extracting urban mobility patterns using texture analysisComputational Urban Science - Tập 3 - Trang 1-19 - 2023
Khan Mortuza Bin Asad, Yihong Yuan
The development of high-precision location tracking devices and advancements in data collection, storage, transmission technologies, and data mining algorithms have led to the availability of large datasets with high spatiotemporal resolution. These geospatial big data can be used to identify human movement patterns in urban areas. However, identifying human movement patterns may yield different r...... hiện toàn bộ
A method to create a synthetic population with social networks for geographically-explicit agent-based modelsComputational Urban Science - Tập 2 - Trang 1-18 - 2022
Na Jiang, Andrew T. Crooks, Hamdi Kavak, Annetta Burger, William G. Kennedy
Geographically-explicit simulations have become crucial in understanding cities and are playing an important role in Urban Science. One such approach is that of agent-based modeling which allows us to explore how agents interact with the environment and each other (e.g., social networks), and how through such interactions aggregate patterns emerge (e.g., disease outbreaks, traffic jams). While the...... hiện toàn bộ
Enhanced Two-Step Virtual Catchment Area (E2SVCA) model to measure telehealth accessibilityComputational Urban Science - Tập 3 - Trang 1-13 - 2023
Yaxiong Shao, Wei Luo
The use of telehealth has increased significantly over the last decade and has become even more popular and essential during the COVID-19 pandemic due to social distancing requirements. Telehealth has many advantages including potentially improving access to healthcare in rural areas and achieving healthcare equality. However, there is still limited research in the literature on how to accurately ...... hiện toàn bộ
Residential location choice: an investigation of transportation, public facilities, and social factorsComputational Urban Science - Tập 4 - Trang 1-17 - 2024
Hamed Rajabi, Hamid Mirzahossein, Seyed Mohsen Hosseinian, Xia Jin
Residential location choice is a crucial topic in transportation planning research since land use as well as residential land use can significantly affect a city's attractiveness for development and residence. Understanding the factors that influence households in their residential location choice is essential for policymakers to evaluate the effect of their decisions. In this study, the impact of...... hiện toàn bộ
XStar: a software system for handling taxi trajectory big dataComputational Urban Science - Tập 1 - Trang 1-13 - 2021
Xiang Li, Joseph Mango, Jiajia Song, Di Zhang
Advances in positioning and communicating technologies make it possible to collect large volumes of taxi trajectory data, quickly providing a complete picture of the ground traffic systems and thus being applied to different fields. However, there are still challenges for data users to handle such big data. In view of this, we have developed a software system named XStar to deal with trajectory bi...... hiện toàn bộ
Administrative level, city tier, and air quality: contextual determinants of hukou conversion for migrants in ChinaComputational Urban Science - Tập 1 - Trang 1-16 - 2021
Chenglong Wang, Jianfa Shen, Ye Liu
Hukou reform and relevant policies are being implemented in current China, but the response of migrants to hukou conversion in destinations falls short of expectation. It is significant to understand how contextual factors in destination cities affect migrants’ willingness of hukou conversion. Considering administrative dimension, socio-economic dimension, and environmental dimension, this study f...... hiện toàn bộ
Assessing the safety effect of red-light camera deactivation: a geographically weighted negative binomial regression approachComputational Urban Science - Tập 2 - Trang 1-12 - 2022
Jianling Li, Alan Ricardo da Silva
Municipalities across the country have debated the safety effect of automatic red-light cameras (RLC) and their political and financial implications. Most empirical studies have used the Empirical Bayesian (EB) approach to assess the safe effects to facilitate policy debates. While popular, the EB method has several limitations in data requirement, reference site selection, and control of confound...... hiện toàn bộ
