Cover Story: Are we in Boswash yet? The extent of urban areas is commonly defined through administrative boundaries. The actual built-up area, urban catchment or economic linkage is, however, not adequately represented through artificial, fixed boundaries. In order to spatially delimit a very large urban area—the Boston to Washington (Boswash) urban corridor—we use multi-source geodata based on a grid and not on administrative units. Using thresholds on the input data, we construct Boswash as varying connected territorial spaces, thus overcoming a dichotomous classification in favor of a probability-based differentiation. The approach can be modified (e.g., through different input layers or weighting) without changing the underlying idea, i.e., the probability of an area being part of a region such as Boswash is flexible.

Short-Range Prediction of the Zone of Moving Vehicles in Arterial Networks

  • Rouzbeh Forouzandeh Jonaghani,
  • Sepehr Honarparvar and
  • Navid Khademi

In many moving object databases, future locations of vehicles in arterial networks are predicted. While most of studies apply the frequent behavior of historical trajectories or vehicles’ recent kinematics as the basis of predictions, consideration o...
