Computational Approaches for Urban Environments by
This book aims to promote the synergistic usage of advanced computational methodologies in close relationship to geospatial information across cities of different scales. A rich collection of chapters subsumes current research frontiers originating from disciplines such as geography, urban planning, computer science, statistics, geographic information science and remote sensing. The topics covered in the book are of interest to researchers, postgraduates, practitioners and professionals. The editors hope that the scientific outcome of this book will stimulate future urban-related international and interdisciplinary research, bringing us closer to the vision of a "new science of cities."
Urban Political Geographies by
This compelling new textbook scrutinizes urban politics through a theoretical and empirical lens to provide readers with a clear understanding of the relationship between political, spatial and economic issues on the urban environment. Taking a truly global analysis, the book uses international comparative case studies from cities across the world including London, Beijing, Austin, and Vancouver. Engaging in style and thorough in its coverage of the key issues, this book draws on ideas and theories from human geography, politics, sociology, economics, and development.
Accessibility and Spatial Interaction by
'Interaction and accessibility are widely discussed themes in urban and regional analysis. Many aspects of this area are touched on in this wide-ranging collection of research essays. for example, migration, commuting, and accessibility are emergent issues as urban areas expand. Classic measures of accessibility provide useful metrics for regional description and assessment of urban hierarchies. Despite decades of development of mathematical models relating spatial interaction and accessibility, open questions remain regarding their analytical properties and performance in different empirical applications. This book paves the way for new topics requiring novel approaches using accessibility tools. This book will appeal to readers interested in accessibility studies because of its emphasis on the complex and dynamic interaction between accessibility and the space-economy.' - Morton E. O'Kelly, the Ohio State University, US Accessibility is a useful concept for representing the level of spatial interaction (flows of people, goods or information) between a set of locations, through a transport (physical and/or digital) infrastructure network. Its performance has been recognized in the framework of sustainability policy, in light of best practice planning and decision-making processes, where methods such as cost benefit analysis, multi-criteria analysis and risk analysis, can embed accessibility results. the rationale of this book is to present a collection of recent studies, modelling and discussing spatial interaction by means of accessibility indicators. Chapters have been organized in three different sections: (i) methods and data sources used to estimate spatial interaction through accessibility indicators; (ii) spatial and social dimension of accessibility; (iii) accessibility as a driver of spatial interaction. This book proves how accessibility concepts and measurements can integrate spatial economics with transport and planning science.
Geopositioning and Mobility by
This book presents a general overview of the applications anduse of geopositioning and GNSS for assisting the supervision andmanagement of mobile terrestrial professions, information, trafficregulation, multimodal information, pedestrian mobility and indoorgeopositioning, etc. It especially focuses on the field of mobilityand terrestrial transport, the automotive industry and tourism (onfoot, by bicycle or motorcycle, by car, by professional vehicles orby public transport, etc.). This book explores the manypossibilities, developmental and organizational factors, as well asnew paradigms, which will contribute to an essential part ofGNSS's civil economy, especially to Galileo in the mid-termand to Egnos in the short-term. Several of GNSS's integration structuring aspects insustainable terrestrial mobilities will be analyzed; for example interms of system architecture, data safety or legal constraints.Numerous diverse points of view will be presented regardingsubjects such as dynamic cartography and new computingarchitectures of: mobility systems, interconnection, servicequality, regulation or supervision functions of individualfreedoms.

Moving Towards Low Carbon Mobility by
The transport sector has been singularly unsuccessful in becoming low carbon and less resource intensive. This book takes an innovative and holistic social, cultural and behavioural perspective, as well as covering the more conventional economic and technological dimensions, to provide a more complete understanding of the mobility and transport system and its progress towards high carbon mobility.
