A Harris-Todaro agent-based model to rural-urban migration
(2006-10-30)
The Harris-Todaro model of the rural-urban migration process is revisited under an agent-based approach. The migration of the workers is interpreted as a process of social learning by imitation, formalized by a computational ...
Modelling and mapping the urban thermal environment
(2007-01-01)
In order to develop a methodology and tools that could help on thermal urban planning, this paper proposes a modelling of urban thermal environment based on the application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and GIS tools. ...
Cellular automata-based spatial dynamic modeling for analyzing urban land use change
(2013-08-15)
This paper analyzes land use change in Rio Claro City and its surroundings, located in the southeastern state of Sao Paulo, in the period from 1988 to 1995, using air-borne digital imagery and a cellular automata model. ...
Orientation, building height and sky view factor as energy efficiency design parameters
(2007-12-01)
The energy efficiency of buildings should be a goal at the pre-design phase, though the importance of the design variables is often neglected even during the design process. Highlighting the relevance of these design ...
Finding best urban routes based on analyses of high level and IOPT Petri net models
(2012-12-01)
This paper presents a tool that combines two kinds of Petri Net analyses to set the fastest routes to one vehicle in a bounded area of traffic urban. The first analysis consists of the discovery of possible routes in a ...
Controlling traffic jams on urban roads modeled in Coloured Petri net using Genetic Algorithm
(2012-12-01)
This paper presents an application to traffic lights control in congested urban traffic, in real time, taking as input the position and route of the vehicles in the involved areas. This data is obtained from the communication ...
Greenhouse gas reduction through the introduction of electric vehicles in urban zones
(2020-09-28)
The decarbonizing the transportation system through the introduction of electric vehicles in urban zones has intensified in recent years. This paper presents a methodology for modeling electric vehicles in an urban zone ...
Finding best urban routes based on analyses of High Level and IOPT Petri net models
(Ieee, 2012-01-01)
This paper presents a tool that combines two kinds of Petri Net analyses to set the fastest routes to one vehicle in a bounded area of traffic urban. The first analysis consists of the discovery of possible routes in a ...
A Distance-Based Tool-Set to Track Inconsistent Urban Structures Through Complex-Networks
(Springer, 2018-01-01)
Complex networks can be used for modeling street meshes and urban agglomerates. With such a model, many aspects of a city can be investigated to promote a better quality of life to its citizens. Along these lines, this ...
Genetic algorithm-based traffic lights timing optimization and routes definition using Petri net model of urban traffic flow
(2014-01-01)
This work presents an algorithm for the optimization of urban traffic flow that computes the vehicle routes and traffic lights timing in real time. The optimization procedure uses a genetic algorithm whose fitness function ...
