The value of scenario discovery in land-use modeling: An automated vehicle test case by Daniel Engelberg

“…In terms of AV policy, this research establishes that forward-thinking, transit-oriented-development strategies can mitigate spatial dispersion while also reducing overall housing costs. In addition, I find that AVs may blunt the impacts of some current policy tools if they extend the distance individuals are willing to travel to work. …”

Computing medial axis of a simple polygon in linear time based on R-L sequence by Hongyu Chen, Xiaodiao Chen, Yizhao Xue

“…The branches of the medial axis are naturally divided into several panels, such that the branches in the same panel cause no interference with each other and decrease a lot of computational costs. Based on our experiments, the efficiency of the proposed R-L algorithm can be 6 to 17 times greater than that of the state-of-the-art method in TVCG, and up to 419 times greater than the CGAL algorithm. …”
