Research on the Characteristics and Evolution of Urban Spatial Structures under Complex Terrain Conditions: Taking 71 Typical Cities in China as an Example
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)In the past, research on urban spatial structure under complex terrain conditions has mostly remained at the level of analyzing a specific city and a single type of terrain, the limitations of the research scope and ... -
Detection of Urban Space Community Structures in Island-Oriented Cities Based on Smart Bus Card Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The urban space community is the basic unit used to demonstrate the urban spatial structure, and the space community structure of island-oriented cities is different from that of general inland cities because they are ... -
Investigation of Urban–Canal–Rural Integration Characteristics Based on Multidimensional Connectivity Network Analysis: A Case Study of the Canal in Jiangsu Province, China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The process of urbanization is limited by the widening urban–rural gap worldwide, which needs to be improved by reconsidering the interaction between urban and rural areas dynamically and systematically. This study aims ... -
Development and Validation of a Heat Resilience Index: Measuring Communities Resilience to Extreme Heat Events
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)The level of preparedness of communities to heat-related consequences varies. While several studies have developed heat vulnerability indices, little-to-no research efforts were directed to assess the heat resilience of ... -
A Comprehensive Evaluation Model with TOPSIS Method for Construction Site Layout of Building Projects and Its Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)Environmental issues are often neglected in previous studies on site layout evaluation problems. To address this research gap, a comprehensive evaluation model is developed to evaluate construction site layout planning in ... -
Bus Bunching at Bus Stops and Its Spatiotemporal Patterns along Urban Bus Routes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2024)An investigation is reported on bus bunching and its spatiotemporal patterns that considers six bus routes in Kolkata City, West Bengal, India. With historical GPS data as inputs, bunching occurrences are identified using ... -
Applying and Evaluating Data-Driven Fine Grid Partitioning Methods for Traffic Analysis Zones
(ASCE, 2024/03/01)Fine grid management is one of the important development directions of transportation planning that has not been fully considered in previous literature. This paper explores the application of the fine grid management ... -
