This paper analyses the efficiency and distributional impacts of congestion pricing in Vickrey's (1969) dynamic bottleneck model of congestion, allowing for continuous distributions of values of time and schedule delay. We find that congestion pricing can leave a majority of travellers better...

The ability to model factors influencing land use can be significantly improved by incorporating variables derived from geographic information systems with more detailed survey data. While remote sensing data have the advantage of providing land cover measurements for large areas, survey data...

In this study, we combined the advantages of bitmaps and remote sensing data to reconstruct three-dimensional (3D) harbor models and establish a new simulation navigation system. The models employ triangular elements to reconstruct the topology relationships between the seabed and the harbor...

Human hazards can represent a significant risk to the population and cause huge economic damage in many urbanized regions. In order to be able to identify risk hot spots and implement targeted risk reduction measures, decision makers need to have a clear picture of the risk situation in their...

The Sistan area is located in the east of Iran, enclosure to Afghanistan border. It is a densely populated enclave in the scarcely populated arid area of the eastern part of Iran, where the life strongly depends on the shallow water of Hamoun Lake and wetlands in the delta of the Helmand River...
