The use of recent ground motion prediction equations in probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) with area type of seismic sources requires defining the probability distributions of various source-to-site distance metrics with finite fault rupture taken into account. This task is rendered...

Many-particle simulations of vehicle interactions have been quite successful in the qualitative reproduction of observed traffic patterns. However, the assumed interactions could not be measured, as human interactions are hard to quantify compared to interactions in physical and chemical...

The formation of "Urban Networks" has become a wide-spread phenomenon around the world. In the study of metropolitan regions, there are competing or diverging views about management and control of environmental and land-use factors as well as about scales and arrangements of settlements....

Die Metropolregion Mitteldeutschland ist ein Bündnis zur Kooperation zwischen den großen Städten in den Ländern Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt und Thüringen. Angesichts der Vielzahl der beteiligten Städte sowie der großen Entfernungen zwischen den Städten an den Rändern und dem geographischen...
