Proximity-based cities emit less mobility-driven CO
Francesco Marzolla, Matteo Bruno, Hygor P. M. Melo +1
In the quest for more environmentally sustainable urban areas, the concept of the 15-minute city has been proposed to encourage active mobility, primarily through walking and cycli…
Compact 15-minute cities exhibit lower carbon intensity in urban transport
Francesco Marzolla, Matteo Bruno, Hygor Piaget Monteiro Melo +1
The 15-minute city concept, which advocates cities where essential services are accessible within a 15-minute walk or bike ride, has gained significant attention in recent years. H…
A universal framework for inclusive 15-minute cities
Matteo Bruno, Hygor Piaget Monteiro Melo, Bruno Campanelli +1
Proximity-based cities have attracted much attention in recent years. The 15-minute city, in particular, heralded a new vision for cities where essential services must be easily ac…
The ubiquitous efficiency of going further: how street networks affect travel speed
Gabriel L. Maia, Caio Ponte, Carlos Caminha +3
As cities struggle to adapt to more ``people-centered'' urbanism, transportation planning and engineering must innovate to expand the street network strategically in order to ensur…
The impact of one-way streets on the asymmetry of the shortest commuting routes
Hygor P. M. Melo, Diogo P. Mota, José S. Andrade +1
On a daily commute, the shortest route from home to work rarely overlaps completely the shortest way back. We analyze this asymmetry for several cities and show that it exists even…
Fundraising and vote distribution: a non-equilibrium statistical approach
H. P. M. Melo, N. A. M. Araujo, J. S. Andrade
The number of votes correlates strongly with the money spent in a campaign, but the relation between the two is not straightforward. Among other factors, the output of a ballot dep…
The price of a vote: diseconomy in proportional elections
Hygor Piaget M. Melo, Saulo D. S. Reis, André A. Moreira +2
The increasing cost of electoral campaigns raises the need for effective campaign planning and a precise understanding of the return of such investment. Interestingly, despite the…
Towards Understanding the Impact of Crime in a Choice of a Route by a Bus Passenger
Daniel Sullivan, Carlos Caminha, Hygor Melo +1
In this paper we describe a simulation platform that supports studies on the impact of crime on urban mobility. We present an example of how this can be achieved by seeking to unde…
Human Mobility in Large Cities as a Proxy for Crime
Carlos Caminha, Vasco Furtado, Tarcisio H. C. Pequeno +4
We investigate at the subscale of the neighborhoods of a highly populated city the incidence of property crimes in terms of both the resident and the floating population. Our resul…
Statistical Signs of Social Influence on Suicides
Hygor Piaget M. Melo, André A. Moreira, Hernán A. Makse +1
Certain currents in sociology consider society as being composed of autonomous individuals with independent psychologies. Others, however, deem our actions as strongly influenced b…
Linear stability analysis of transverse dunes
Hygor P. M. Melo, Eric J. R. Parteli, José S. Andrade +1
Sand-moving winds blowing from a constant direction in an area of high sand availability form transverse dunes, which have a fixed profile in the direction orthogonal to the wind.…
