Cover Story: How does cycling work and look like in cities? What and where are the elements inhibiting urban cycling? We analysed a geospatial dataset crowdsourced by urban cyclists using a mobile geo-game. The spatial aggregation of bicycle trips recorded during two weeks showed that cyclists’ preferred streets but also revealed the physical frictions encountered during cycling. We found the location of 284 potential frictions in Münster, Germany; Castelló, Spain; and Valletta, Malta. To describe the potential frictions inhibiting bicycle commuting, we compared the number of segments at lower speeds versus segments at cycling speed and we described the surrounding bicycle paths, infrastructure, and their location in the urban area. City governments can use similar analyses to optimise cycling infrastructure. View this paper.

From IFC to 3D Tiles: An Integrated Open-Source Solution for Visualising BIMs on Cesium

  • Yiqun Chen,
  • Erfan Shooraj,
  • Abbas Rajabifard and
  • Soheil Sabri

The 3D Tiles specification, created by Cesium, is designed for streaming massive heterogeneous three-dimensional (3D) geospatial datasets online using WebGL technology. The program has prevailed in the WebGIS community due to its ability to visualise...

Vectors are a key type of geospatial data, and their discretization, which involves solving the problem of generating a discrete line, is particularly important. In this study, we propose a method for constructing a discrete line mathematical model f...

Neighborhoods are vaguely defined, localized regions that share similar characteristics. They are most often defined, delineated and named by the citizens that inhabit them rather than municipal government or commercial agencies. The names of these n...

In this paper, we present the optical image simulation from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data using deep learning based methods. Two models, i.e., optical image simulation directly from the SAR data and from multi-temporal SAR-optical data, are pro...

Multiple land use and land cover (LUC) datasets are available for the analysis of LUC changes (LUCC) in distinct territories. Sometimes, different LUCC results are produced to characterize these changes for the same territory and the same period. The...

  • Mark Briffa

The massive property development of high-rises and complex structures above and below the ground surface in cities indicates the lack of land and high demand to use spaces. However, the existing land and property administration systems are mainly two...
