ICA Workshop on Street Networks and Transport, August 23-24, 2013, Dresden, Germany

Street networks, as one of the oldest infrastructure of transport in the world, play a significant role in modernization, sustainable development, and human daily activities in both ancient and modern times. Although street networks have been well studied in a variety of engineering and scientific disciplines including for instance transport, geography, urban planning, economics and even physics, our understanding of street networks in terms of their structure and dynamics is still very limited to deal with real world problems such as traffic jams, pollution, and human evacuations in case of disaster management. Thanks to the rapid development of geographic information science and related technologies, abundant data of street networks have been collected for better understanding the networks’ behavior, and human activities constrained by the networks. This ICA workshop is intended to gather researchers together to present the state of the art research and studies, in an interdisciplinary setting, on street networks and transport. Suggested topics include, but not limited to as long as they address issues related to street networks and/or transport:

Spatial statistics and spatial analysis along networks

Topological analysis and space syntax

Pattern recognition with street networks

Map generalization on street networks

Complexity measurement of street networks

Human evacuations and simulations

Transport modeling based on street networks

Geospatial analysis of the OpenStreetMap data
