Multi-energy networks are going to play an important role in dense areas (cities) for the energy transition and the integration of renewable energy sources [1]. The IntegrCiTy project uses a co-simulation approach at urban scale in order to maximize the pe ...
In a context of traffic networks saturation related to urbanisation acceleration, this research is aimed at contributing to the scientific debate on this issue by building a model to describe dynamic pedestriansâ physical distances regulation behaviours ...
The democratization of vehicles has often reduced the public space to a place of circulation. For the last fifteen years, the habits of mobility have evolved: a system centered around the automobile leaves room for compositions between different modes of d ...
Whilst urbanisation reached an unprecedented dimension, in a not so distant future half of the urban population will live in `informal¿ settlements. Often subsumed under the pejorative term slum, these habitats account for the majority of the future urban ...
Climate change and growing urban populations are increasingly putting pressure on cities to reduce their carbon emissions and transition towards efficient and renewable energy systems. This challenges in particular urban planners, who are expected to integ ...
Urban Green Infrastructures (UGI) play a major role in mitigating the urban climatic conditions, as well as improving people’s health and wellbeing. Indeed, nature has a positive impact both on the pedestrian thermal and psychological perception, increasin ...
This article presents the development and application of a methodology that employs optimization not to seek the single or few optimal plan(s) but to provide planners with a systematic overview of their decision space. As urban development projects are not ...
Previous studies have identified links between the urban form and the performance of urban energy systems. Land use and density are two important aspects of urban planning and design. This paper studies the relationship between these aspects and the perfor ...
Urbanization and climate change induce many challenges for todayâs cities. These challenges have to be faced by urban planners during complex planning processes that involve many stakeholders. Interactive computational approaches can provide assistance d ...
Consensus protocol have seen increased usage in recent years due to the industry shift to distributed computing. However, it has traditionally been implemented in the application layer. We propose to move the consensus protocol in the transport layer, to o ...
