  • Road Network Selection for Small-Scale Maps Using an Improved Centrality-Based Algorithm
    JOURNAL OF SPATIAL INFORMATION SCIENCE Number 9 (2014), pp. 71–99 doi:10.5311/JOSIS.2014.9.166 RESEARCH ARTICLE Road network selection for small-scale maps using an improved centrality-based algorithm Roy Weiss and Robert Weibel Department of Geography, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland Received: January 31, 2014; returned: March 13, 2014; revised: July 29, 2014; accepted: August 18, 2014. Abstract: The road network is one of the key feature classes in topographic maps and databases. In the task of deriving road networks for products at smaller scales, road net- work selection forms a prerequisite for all other generalization operators, and is thus a fun- damental operation in the overall process of topographic map and database production. The objective of this work was to develop an algorithm for automated road network selec- tion from a large-scale (1:10,000) to a small-scale database (1:200,000). The project was pur- sued in collaboration with swisstopo, the national mapping agency of Switzerland, with generic mapping requirements in mind. Preliminary experiments suggested that a selec- tion algorithm based on betweenness centrality performed best for this purpose, yet also exposed problems. The main contribution of this paper thus consists of four extensions that address deficiencies of the basic centrality-based algorithm and lead to a significant improvement of the results. The first two extensions improve the formation of strokes concatenating the road segments, which is crucial since strokes provide the foundation upon which the network centrality measure is computed. Thus, the first extension en- sures that roundabouts are detected and collapsed, thus avoiding interruptions of strokes by roundabouts, while the second introduces additional semantics in the process of stroke formation, allowing longer and more plausible strokes to built.

Introduction The Putney Road Link Road scheme will create a new junction where Putney Road West meets Aylestone Road/Saffron Lane, and create a link road running through to Welford Road/Victoria Park Road. Although it is intended to create a new local access to the business area, the main purpose of the scheme is the creation of the link road which at this stage will extend to the A6 London Road through Victoria Park Road. Although the council claims this scheme is not connected with a further scheme, linking Aylestone Road to Narborough Road through Evesham Road, it is self-evident that it is, and the council says this in the bid for the funding for this first stage.

  • Parkside Development New Link Road Access to the M6 Motorway Proposal
    Richard Ward PINS Reference 3253194; 3253230; and 3253232 Parkside Development New Link Road Access to the M6 Motorway Proposal Page 1 of 20 June 2020 Current Link Road proposal as shown in the Drainage Plan Page 2 of 20 The Current Proposal for the Parkside Link Road by not being a dedicated direct link to the M6 motorway, the Commercial Vehicle Traffic that will be generated by the proposed development(s) in total will impact on the local roads from all directions as measures to prevent are impossible to manage. The following plan of road access to the proposed Parkside development show the Commercial Vehicle Traffic impact on the Local Roads. Where the utilisation of the Motorway M6 junction 22 will be little used with respect to the access to the proposed development from the local roads. The Access was not solved by the previous Parkside Proposals by the developers: 1996 British Coal/Morrisons; 2000+ RailTrack; 2004-2009 Astral Developments; and 2009-2012 Prologis. To whom all had withdrawn due to not being able to solve the Traffic situation, over and above the reason for the development for the need for jobs which has become secondary and not a main issue considering the Parkside proposals having been an issue since 1993 to 2018, (ie 25 years). So the need for jobs is still not the issue the traffic impact still is the issue purely due to the urban location surrounded by a major road infrastructure. It is this that is the problem, due to heavily industrialising an area that the surrounding locality can not cope with the proposed situation – traffic wise.

  • Approaching Bike Hazards Via Crowdsourcing of Volunteered Geographic Information
    sustainability Article Approaching Bike Hazards via Crowdsourcing of Volunteered Geographic Information Rafael Hologa *,† and Nils Riach † Physical Geography, University of Freiburg, Schreiberstraße 20, 79085 Freiburg, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † These authors contributed equally to this work. Received: 3 August 2020; Accepted: 25 August 2020; Published: 28 August 2020 Abstract: Information on individual hazard perception while cycling and the associated feeling of safety are key aspects to foster sustainable urban cycling mobility. Although cyclist’s perceptions must also be critically reviewed, such crowdsourced Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) provides wide-ranging insights on diverse hazard categories in cycling. In this case study in the city of Freiburg, Germany, hazard perceptions, information about lane types, and the underlying routes were crowdsourced via an open source smartphone application by a small group with the aim of providing cyclists with effective solutions. By dealing with levels of reliability, we show that even a small group of laypersons can generate an extensive and valuable set of VGI consisting of comprehensive hazard categories. We demonstrate that (1) certain hazards are interlinked to specific lane types, and (2) the individual hazard perceptions and objective parameters, i.e., accident data, are often congruent spatially; consequently, (3) dangerous hot spots can be derived. By considering cyclists’ needs, this approach outlines how a people-based perspective can supplement regional planning on the local scale. Keywords: crowdsourcing; Volunteered Geographic Information; safety; hazards; cycling; perception; GIScience; regional planning 1. Introduction In their daily routines, cyclists are often confronted with dangerous situations while commuting in an urban context.

  • Trail User Preferences and Motivations to Attend
    TRAIL USER PREFERENCES AND MOTIVATIONS TO ATTEND ALABAMA STATE PARKS by LAUREN CRAIN C. HOBSON BRYAN, COMMITTEE CHAIR AMANDA ESPY-BROWN MICHAEL STEINBERG A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Geography in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2014 Copyright Lauren Crain 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Alabama‟s state parks are important centers for outdoor recreation, and their trail systems are often key attractions for visitors. Therefore, enhancing the outdoor recreation experience through improved trail management can potentially increase park usage. The purpose of this study was to determine trail users‟ preferences and needs so that recreational managers can better use and allocate resources in the context of economic development to the state. A central research hypothesis was that level of expertise and involvement, i.e., recreational specialization, of trail users predicts trail preferences and behavior. Accordingly, a secondary hypothesis was that the employment of a designated trail ranking system in state parks, based on a standardized level of difficulty, would appeal to specialized users. Trail users‟ preferences and motivations to attend Alabama state parks were examined using an online survey via Qualtrics software. Over 1,000 surveys were taken by distribution of the survey link through hiking and biking organizations‟ listservs and Facebook pages, the homepage of Alabama State Parks, and through personal email correspondence. After analysis of survey responses, an objective of this study was to make recommendations to the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources on how to cater to experienced trail users, since such recreationists tend toward greater expenditures of time and resources than the general park user.
