In rapidly growing urban areas, it is deemed vital to expand (or contract) an existing network of public facilities to meet anticipated changes in the level of demand. We present a multi-period capacitated median model for school network facility location planning that minimizes transportation...

It has long been argued that the housing market is spatially compartmentalized within a metropolitan area. The argument has important implications for explaining how the housing market works—should the status quo be seen as an equilibrium state? Or if no equilibrium is reached, how do loosely...

Given that many spatial interaction (SI) systems are often constituted in large databases with high thematic dimensionality, data complexity reduction tasks are essential. The opportunity exists for researchers to examine the formation of different types of SIs as well as their interdependencies...

In spite of a number of before-and-after evaluation studies of ITS field operational tests and other deployments that have substantiated the favorable payoff of investments in ITS technology, ITS benefits assessment is not a straightforward matter and continues to pose significant challenges....
