Data-driven planning support system for a campus design
Environment and Planning B Urban Analytics and City Science · 2020 · 12 citations
1st authorCorrespondingThe paper aims to develop a campus-level planning support system that is driven by data analytics by comparing two design approaches, anticipation and optimization. A campus is defined as a small-scale complex urban system of buildings and infrastructure. Three questions are addressed: (1) What generates campus design? What principles are taken for making design decisions? (2) How do we optimize design options based on multi-criteria performance and multi-objectives? (3) How can we manage a proc…

articleOpen accessIn recent years, the rapid growth of e-commerce and on-demand delivery services has placed a significant strain on urban logistics systems. Technological advances such as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based logistics systems have thus emerged as promising solutions in urban environments and are increasingly being piloted worldwide. However, the implementation of UAV logistics risks exacerbating social inequities, particularly in marginalized communities that may disproportionately bear the noise…
