This paper presents a modelling approach for estimating the density of sealed surface cover within residential areas, using a set of explanatory variables describing the spatial context of each area, its morphological properties and its population density. The model is calibrated and applied on Flanders and the Brussels Capital Region using a 30m sealed surface cover fraction map for 2013, obtained...
Population consensus may lead to scenarios of positive feedback in which the momentum toward a consensus could result in outcomes that may not be in the best interests of society—the opinion dynamics that lead to support for a negotiated settlement or peace agreement might similarly lead to mass violence and riots. Given this, additional insight into how consensus might be influenced has broad implications...
A variety of scientific models and computational tools have been developed to improve human safety and comfort in built environments. In this work we discuss the use of crowd simulation to reproduce and to evaluate egress performance in specific scenarios. We present CrowdSim, a crowd simulation tool designed to automatically reproduce crowd behaviors during building egress. Associated with this kind...
In the digital age, teams are becoming the new norm. Many groups become productive over time, but some groups also become dysfunctional over time. This paper examines groups that work together and ultimately become dysfunctional to the extent that they have to be reassigned or dismantled. We use a three stage study to explore why this happens. Groups in face-to-face and online classes mimic diversity...
