Exploring the Causes of Social Exclusion Related to Mobility for Non-Motorized Households

Using a lexicometric and qualitative data analysis of 57 semi-directed interviews with members of non-motorized households in the urban areas of Quebec City (Canada) and Strasbourg (France), this paper attempts to show whether living in a carless household ...

Toward Sustainable Ridesourcing Services: A Simulation Study on the Effects of Congestion, Fleet Size, and Willingness to Share

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Caio Vitor Beojone

Human mobility in large cities is a complex dynamical system with high density of population, many transport modes to compete for limited available space and many operators that try to efficiently manage different parts of this system. New emerging modes o ...

Criteria and policies to master the visual impact of solar systems in urban environments: The LESO-QSV method

Christian Roecker, Maria Cristina Munari Probst

Increased use of solar collectors in buildings is necessary but poses major challenges in existing built environ ments, especially where architectural quality is an issue. The large size of solar systems at the building scale requires careful planning, as ...

Improved Utility-based Congestion Control for Low-Delay Communication

Pascal Frossard, Laura Toni, Sergio Mena, Stefano D'Aronco

Due to the presence of buffers in the inner network nodes, each congestion event leads to buffer queueing and thus to an increasing end-to-end delay. In the case of delay sensitive applications, a large delay might not be acceptable and a solution to prope ...

The scaling structure of the global road network

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Emanuele Strano, Andrea Giometto

Because of increasing global urbanization and its immediate consequences, including changes in patterns of food demand, circulation and land use, the next century will witness a major increase in the extent of paved roads built worldwide. To model the effe ...

CO2 emissions in relation to street-network configuration and city size

Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

The street-network efficiency of tens of British cities in relation to transport fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are analyzed. The results show a strong linear positive correlation between length entropy and average street length, and a negative correla ...

Neighbourhood morphology and solar irradiance in relation to urban climate

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Dan Assouline, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Govinda Upadhyay

Assessing the relationship between neighbourhood morphology and urban climate is becoming increasingly important as cities continue to grow and the climate continues to change. Here we focus on the impact of (1) shapes and sizes of buildings, (2) street la ...

Expansion and densification of cities: linking urban form to urban ecology

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

Despite much research on the ecological impacts of urbanization, we still do not know what development patterns are most effective in supporting ecological function. In particular, it is as yet unclear if compact urban forms are ecologically more favourabl ...
