Digital spatial data is an attempt to model and describe the real world for use in computer analysis and graphic display of information. To insure that data is not misused; the assumptions and limitations affecting the collection of the data must be fully documented. As geo-spatial data producers...

A combined transportation-land use model is proposed in this paper. Unlike other existing urban land use and transportation planning models in which a "fixed demand" for services is assumed to be known at the zonal level of an urban area, zonal travel demand is endogenously determined together...

This article estimates and evaluates the economic impacts from a catastrophic earthquake within regional and national contexts, emphasising the inter-industry relationship in conjunction with regional commodity flows and the assessment of seismic damages on a transportation network. The...

This paper reviews and analyzes the spatial dispersion of economic activities in the Peoples' Republic of China for the period of 1952-1985. The purpose of the paper is to shed light on the future prospect of spatial development in China. Specifically, the paper examines the relationship between...

There are many players in business for the location-based services (LBS). There are thin clients, usually mobile, and thick clients. From the service provider's side, there are companies such as Nokia and Motorola providing hardware; there are Microsoft and Oracle providing software tools, and...

Travel time forecasting models have been studied intensively as a subject of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), particularly in the topics of advanced traffic management systems (ATMS), advanced traveler information systems (ATIS), and commercial vehicle operations (CVO). While the...

The purpose of the research is to develop an integrated urban systems model, which will assist in formulating a better land use-transportation policy by simulating the relationships between land use patterns and travel behavior, integrated with geographic information systems (GISs). In order to...
