Exploring Human Mobility Patterns Based on Location Information of US Flights
Bin Jiang, Tao Jia
A range of early studies have been conducted to illustrate human mobility patterns using different tracking data, such as dollar notes, cell phones and taxicabs. Here, we explore h…
Measuring Urban Sprawl Based on Massive Street Nodes and the Novel Concept of Natural Cities
Tao Jia, Bin Jiang
In this paper, we develop a novel approach to measuring urban sprawl based on street nodes and naturally defined urban boundaries, both extracted from massive volunteered geographi…
Characterizing Human Mobility Patterns in a Large Street Network
Bin Jiang, Junjun Yin, Sijian Zhao
Previous studies demonstrated empirically that human mobility exhibits Levy flight behaviour. However, our knowledge of the mechanisms governing this Levy flight behaviour remains…
Street Hierarchies: A Minority of Streets Account for a Majority of Traffic Flow
Bin Jiang
Urban streets are hierarchically organized in the sense that a majority of streets are trivial, while a minority of streets is vital. This hierarchy can be simply, but elegantly, c…
Street-based Topological Representations and Analyses for Predicting Traffic Flow in GIS
Bin Jiang, Chengke Liu
It is well received in the space syntax community that traffic flow is significantly correlated to a morphological property of streets, which are represented by axial lines, formin…
Ranking Spaces for Predicting Human Movement in an Urban Environment
Bin Jiang
A city can be topologically represented as a connectivity graph, consisting of nodes representing individual spaces and links if the corresponding spaces are intersected. It turns…
