ICA
Workshop on
Street Networks and Transport, August 23-24, 2013, Dresden,
Germany
Street
networks, as
one of the oldest infrastructure of transport in the world, play
a significant role
in modernization, sustainable development, and human daily
activities in both
ancient and modern times. Although street networks have been
well studied in a
variety of engineering and scientific disciplines including for
instance
transport, geography, urban planning, economics and even
physics, our understanding
of street networks in terms of their structure and dynamics is
still very limited
to deal with real world problems such as traffic jams,
pollution, and human
evacuations in case of disaster management. Thanks to the rapid
development of
geographic information science and related technologies,
abundant data of street
networks have been collected for better understanding the
networks’ behavior,
and human activities constrained by the networks. This ICA
workshop is intended
to gather researchers together to present the state of the art
research and
studies, in an interdisciplinary setting, on street networks and
transport. Suggested
topics include, but not limited to as long as they address
issues related to
street networks and/or transport:
Spatial
statistics
and spatial analysis along networks
Topological
analysis
and space syntax
Pattern
recognition
with street networks
Map
generalization
on street networks
Complexity
measurement
of street networks
Human
evacuations
and simulations
Transport
modeling
based on street networks
Geospatial
analysis
of the OpenStreetMap data
