With the proliferation of vehicular mobility traces because of inexpensive on-board sensors and smartphones, utilizing them to further understand road movements have become easily accessible. These huge numbers of vehicular traces can be utilized to...
Cities are facing increased heat-related health risks (HHRs) due to the combined effects of global warming and rapid urbanization. However, few studies have focused on HHR assessment based on fine-scale information. Moreover, most studies only analyz...
The comment disputes some of the inferences in the paper “Helmert Transformation Problem. From Euler Angles Method to Quaternion Algebra”, published in this journal. The key points in the dissent are the following: (1) The number of unkno...
Station-level ridership is an important indicator for understanding the relationship between land use and rail transit, which is crucial for building more sustainable urban mobility systems. However, the nonlinear effects of the built environment on...
POI data play an important role in various location-based services, including navigation, positioning, and local search applications. However, as cities rapidly develop, a substantial amount of new POI data are generated daily, often accompanied by i...
In addition to geometric accuracy, topological information, appearance and georeferenced data, semantic capabilities are key strengths of digital 3D city models. This provides the foundation for a growing number of use cases, far beyond visualization...
In field driving activities, off-road areas usually lack existing paths that can be directly driven on by ground vehicles, but their surface environments can still satisfy the planning and passage requirements of some off-road vehicles. Additionally,...
As a crucial spatial decision support tool, Geographic Information Systems (GISystems) are widely used in fields such as digital watersheds, resource management, environmental assessment, and regional governance, with their core strength lying in the...
An event is an important medium for recording, expressing, and understanding the real world. Additionally, a data model can provide a digital and structured description method for the real world. Therefore, studying event data models is highly import...
I have read the article by Ioannidou and Pantazis [...]
Natural reserves, such as the Santurbán Moor in Colombia, are ecologically important but face significant threats from activities like mining and agriculture. Preserving biodiversity in these ecosystems is essential for maintaining ecological...
China’s vulnerability to fluvial floods necessitates extensive exposure studies. Previous large-scale regional analyses often relied on a limited set of assessment indicators due to challenges in data acquisition, compounded by the scarcity of...
To tackle problems such as the destruction of topological structures and the loss of detailed features in the simplification of 3D building models, we propose a 3D building model simplification algorithm that considers detailed features and topologic...
Accurate information regarding the size, activity, and distribution of coastal tourists is essential for the effective management and planning of coastal tourism. In this study, geotagged photos uploaded to social network services were classified to...
Indoor navigation has attracted significant attention from both academic and industrial perspectives. Indoor positioning is a critical component of indoor navigation. Several solutions or technologies have been proposed, such as Wi-Fi, UWB, and Bluet...
Traffic anomaly detection is crucial for urban management, yet current research is often confined to small-scale endeavors. This study collected 9 months of real-time Wuhan traffic-monitoring data from Amap. We propose Traffic-ConvLSTM, a multi-scale...
Understanding the spatially varying effect mechanism of intermodal connection on metro ridership helps policymakers develop differentiated interventions to promote metro usage, especially for megacities with multiple city sub-centers and ring roads....
Haze is a phenomenon caused by excessive PM2.5 (air-borne particulate matter having a diameter of fewer than 2.5 μm) and other pollutants and results from the interaction between specific climatic conditions and human activities. It significantly...
The widespread use of mobile phones and social media platforms provides valuable information about users’ behavior and activities. Mobile phone data are rich on positional information, but lack semantic context. Conversely, geo-social media dat...
Urban waterlogging is one of the major “diseases” faced by cities, posing a great challenge to the healthy and sustainable development of cities. The traditional geographic knowledge graph struggles to capture dynamic changes in urban wat...
Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT, BART, and Gemini stand at the forefront of Generative Artificial Intelligence, showcasing remarkable prowess in natural language comprehension and task execution. This paper proposes a novel framework develop...
Improving the performance and reducing the training cost of road extraction models in the absence of samples is important for updating road maps. Despite the success of recent road extraction models on standard datasets, they often fail to perform wh...
Efficient spatial query processing in Graph Database Management Systems (GDBMSs) has become increasingly important owing to the prevalence of spatial graph data. However, current GDBMSs lack effective spatial indexing, causing performance issues with...
The pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals has highlighted rural electricity consumption patterns, necessitating innovative analytical approaches. This paper introduces a novel method for predicting rural electricity consumption by leveraging d...
BIM is being strongly implemented in design companies. General contractors are using it during investment projects, and boards are using it for the maintenance and operation of buildings or infrastructure. Without the so-called BIM mandate (mandatory...
This article explores the potential of the Unreal Engine as a tool for creating realistic 3D visualizations of large-scale areas (1000 km2 and more) using GIS datasets. Unlike small-scale visualizations, large-scale visualizations are rare and often...
Guidance signage systems (GSSs) play a large role in pedestrian navigation for public buildings. A vulnerable GSS can cause wayfinding troubles for pedestrians. In order to investigate the robustness of GSSs, a complex network-based GSS robustness an...
The security challenges faced by smart cities are attracting more attention from more people. Criminal activities and disasters can have a significant impact on the stability of a city, resulting in a loss of safety and property for its residents. Th...
This study assesses soil productivity in a 15-hectare cotton field using an integrated approach combining field data, laboratory analysis, and remote sensing techniques. Soil samples were collected and analyzed for key parameters including nitrogen (...
