Due to the possibility of maneuvering, it tends to exhibit the external spatial...master thesis 2023

Chen, Wen-Yu (author)Transport decision-making determines people’s level of accessibility and deeply influences an individual’s access to social and economic opportunities and the quality of life. Socially vulnerable populations are highly dependent on yet often more likely to have less access to transport services and experience lower accessibility. This creates...master thesis 2023

Dobson, Daniel (author)Street view imagery (SVI) is one of the largest (growing) resources in urban analytics. A global close-up of the urban environment, if you will, which is rich in (untapped) information such as floor count. Floor count is useful in many applications, from improving energy consumption calculations to creation of 3D city models without elevation...master thesis 2023

Teeuwen, R.F.L. (author), Psyllidis, A. (author), Bozzon, A. (author)Recent evidence underscores the importance of greenspace exposure in promoting physical activity, and in having a positive impact on mental health and cognitive development. Accessibility has been identified to be the primary motivating factor when it comes to encouraging greenspace use and, correspondingly, exposure. Existing quantitative...journal article 2023

Milias, V. (author), Sharifi Noorian, S. (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Psyllidis, A. (author)City streets that feel safe and attractive motivate active travel behaviour and promote people’s well-being. However, determining what makes a street safe and attractive is a challenging task because subjective qualities of the streetscape are difficult to quantify. Existing evidence typically focuses on how different street features influence...conference paper 2023

Fallah, Rebecca K. (author), Evers, Jaap (author), Hermans, L.M. (author)Environmental policy integration is needed to ensure environmental policy goals are being realized, given their cross-sectoral nature. Most of the published research has focused on integration and coherence of (inter)national policies, plans, and programs. The implementation practices for these policies, however, are at least as important. This...journal article 2023

van Asten, T. (author), Milias, V. (author), Bozzon, A. (author), Psyllidis, A. (author)Neighborhood safety and its perception are important determinants of citizens’ health and well-being. Contemporary urban design guidelines often advocate urban forms that encourage natural surveillance or “eyes on the street” to promote community safety. However, assessing a neighborhood’s level of natural surveillance is challenging due to its...book chapter 2023

Despite the growing literature on pedestrian movement in cities, evidence of the relationship between cultural attractors and the spatial characteristics of street spaces between these artifacts is scarce. This contribution applies the theory of natural...journal article 2023

de Vries Lentsch, Ted (author)This work addresses visual localization for intelligent vehicles. The task of cross-view matching-based localization is to estimate the geo-location of a vehicle-mounted camera by matching the captured street view image with an overhead-view satellite map containing the vehicle's local surroundings. This local satellite view image can be...master thesis 2022

Taremi, Peyvand (author)The “traditional” high street that was once a distinctive element in the city’s historic urban fabric, is now slowly declining. This decline is further intensified by the insensitive development of its nearby leftover lands and the lack of investment in the public realm. This research is meant to support a new interpretation for the contemporary...master thesis 2022
