Street grids for efficient district cooling systems in high-density cities

The feasibility of district cooling systems is linked to their efficiency, which is associated with their capital and operational costs. For reasons of ownership and maintenance, the piping network commonly follows the city's street layout. This paper exam ...

Estimation of regional trip length distributions for the calibration of the aggregated network traffic models

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Sérgio Filipe Assunção Batista

The calibration of trip lengths is an important challenge for multi-regional MFD-based applications, as it can influence the dynamics of regional densities (and speeds). Existing research has not paid significant attention in the topic, giving opportunitie ...

Performance of Pedestrian-Load Models through Experimental Studies on Lightweight Aluminum Bridges

Scott Walbridge, Ann Christine Sychterz

Aluminum structures provide a high strength-to-weight ratio, are corrosion resistant, and are esthetically pleasing. Hence, their use in bridge construction has recently begun to increase, especially for pedestrian bridges. Because of their relative light ...

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 ...

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 ...

Analysing and modelling the growth and efficiency of urban transportation infrastructures

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

The total population of the United Kingdom is expected to increase from 63 million in 2011 to 73 million people in 2037. This is an increase by 16% in 26 years, which puts the urban infrastructure, particularly the transportation infrastructure, under grea ...

Identification and Analysis of Queue Spillovers in City Street Networks

Nikolaos Geroliminis

We propose a methodology for identifying queue spillovers in city street networks with signalized intersections using data from conventional surveillance systems, such as counts and occupancy from loop detectors. The key idea of the proposed methodology is ...

A multiresolution approximation method for fast explicit model predictive control

Colin Neil Jones

A model predictive control law is given by the solution to a parametric optimization problem that can be pre- computed offline and provides an explicit map from state to control input. In this paper, an algorithm is introduced based on wavelet multiresolut ...

Fast Explicit Nonlinear Model Predictive Control Via Multiresolution Function Approximation with Guaranteed Stability Nonlinear Control Systems

Colin Neil Jones, John Lygeros

In this paper an algorithm for nonlinear explicit model predictive control is introduced based on multiresolution function approximation that returns a low complexity approximate receding horizon control law built on a hierarchy of second order interpolets ...

A multiscale approximation scheme for explicit model predictive control with stability, feasibility, and performance guarantees

Colin Neil Jones, John Lygeros

In this paper, an algorithm is introduced based on classical wavelet multiresolution analysis that returns a low complexity explicit model predictive control law built on a hierarchy of second order interpolating wavelets. It is proven that the resulting i ...
