Quantitative analysis of structural changes during rapid urban growth

New quantitative measures of urban structural changes are introduced and applied to the fast-growing city of Kerman, Iran. The results of 20,802 street measurements show that the main street orientations are orthogonal, both in the old inner part and in th ...

Visualizing street orientation and solar radiation in relation to complex topography

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

Street networks can be visualized in various ways depending on the purpose. Here we introduce (in the present context) a new technique for visualizing the orientation of street networks in relation to complex topography. The technique is tested on the city ...

Towards an activity-based model for pedestrian facilities

Michel Bierlaire, Bilal Farooq, Antonin Danalet

This paper develops a framework for understanding pedestrian mobility pattern from WiFi traces and other data sources. It can be used to forecast demand for pedestrian facilities such as railway stations, music festivals, campus, airports, supermarkets or ...

Designing Best Effort Networks-on-Chip to Meet Hard Latency Constraints

Giovanni De Micheli, Luca Benini, Srinivasan Murali, Ciprian Seiculescu, Hamid Sarbazi-Azad, Dara Rahmati

Many classes of applications require Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees from the system interconnect. In Networks-on-Chip (NoC) QoS guarantees usually translate into bandwidth and latency constraints for the traffic flows and require hardware support in t ...

Coupling BEM and GFPE for complex outdoor sound propagation

François Aballéa

In complex outdoor sound propagation meteorological effects as well as various absorbing properties and shapes of the boundaries need to be accounted for. This paper presents a hybrid GFPE-BEM method relying on the power of the BEM near obstacles and uneve ...

Delay aspects in Internet telephony

Catherine Boutremans

In this work, we address the transport of high quality voice over the Internet with a particular concern for delays. Transport of interactive audio over IP networks often suffers from packet loss and variations in the network delay (jitter). Forward Error ...
