    Interpreting Place Descriptions for Navigation Services

    Get PDF
    We see a need for research bringing spatial intelligence into the fundamental mechanisms of parsing and interpreting place descriptions. An intelligent navigation service will have capabilities to imitate human route communication behavior (Winter and Wu, 2009), thus, at least the capabilities to make sense of place descriptions

    The Nature of Urban Parking

    Get PDF
    Parking is a result of derived and often induced demand, and thus suitable for active management by tools of data and information services that influence demand and search behavior. But what is the subject of this management? This is the topic of the current chapter

    Tracking Urban Mobility

    Get PDF
    Within the coordinate reference systems discussed in the previous chapter, location can be described. Location data is increasingly becoming available from sensors integrated in urban mobility: sensors that are attached to travelers or vehicles, or even to fix locations registering travelers or vehicles passing by. This chapter will introduce some tracking technologies and their properties, and then define the notion of a trajectory, with its critical properties of spatial and temporal granularity (precision and sampling rate), and accuracy (linked to map matching). In addition, the chapter introduces the two complementary frames of references for tracking urban mobility, the Lagrangian and the Eulerian, and how to convert between them

    Urban Mobility and Parking Demand

    Get PDF
    Parking demand, both current and future, depends on two aspects: the long-term impact of urbanization and urban planning on parking demand, which is not addressed here, and, secondly, the choice of mobility modes, which is discussed here. The choice of mobility modes may, on one hand, require smart parking management and parking information, which is a result of the tracking technology discussed before. On the other hand an informed or incentivized choice of mobility modes may even lead to less parking demand

    Parking as a Challenge for Urban Mobility: Introduction

    Get PDF
    This part of the book collects smart city approaches to support parking, mostly focusing on the parking pressure in inner-urban areas. The presented recipes for parking information and management rely on a smart – sensor-infused, connected, digitally enhanced – urban parking infrastructure that incorporates and utilizes the smart geospatial technologies presented in the first part. It also complements the approaches presented at the end of the first part, which focused on avoiding and shifting private motorized trips in cities, and thus alleviated parking pressure. The approaches presented also weigh also their options when confronted with traffic on roads with less infrastructure and less discipline

    Geospatial Technologies for Urban Mobility: Introduction

    Get PDF
    This chapter gives a broad introduction to the topics in the first part of this book. This first part considers a range of geospatial technologies for smart cities and urban mobility, and demonstrates their potential to shape the future of urban mobility. In this way, the first part prepares the ground, or the framework, for the second part that focuses on technologies for smart parking and specifically on smart parking challenges in the context of cities where private motorization is not yet saturated. Readers who are already familiar with geospatial technologies and are only interested in the parking challenges, can jump ahead to the second part after this introduction

    Historische Soziolinguistik der Stadtsprachen. Kontakt – Variation – Wandel / Pickl, Simon; Elspaß, Stephan / Historische Soziolinguistik der Stadtsprachen

    In diesem einführenden Beitrag erkunden wir die Berührungspunkte von Historischer Stadtsprachenforschung und Historischer Soziolinguistik und stellen dar, wie beide in methodischer und empirischer Hinsicht voneinander profitieren können. Dabei verorten wird die Beiträge dieses Bandes innerhalb einer ‚Historischen Soziolinguistik der Stadtsprachen‘, die sich aus der Konvergenz beider Disziplinen ergibt. Wir stellen zunächst die Historische Soziolinguistik als linguistische Disziplin vor und skizzieren dabei ihre thematische Bandbreite sowie ihre theoretischen, empirischen und methodologischen Herangehensweisen. Wir gehen dann auf Fragestellungen und Forschungsansätze ein, die sich aus der Anwendung historisch-soziolinguistischer Ansätze auf die Betrachtung historischer Stadtsprachen ergeben. Abschließend geben wir einen Ausblick auf Bereiche, in denen wir weiteres Potential für Synergieeffekte bei der Anwendung historisch-soziolinguistischer Herangehensweisen auf Fragestellungen der historischen Stadtsprachenforschung sehen.Simon Pickl, Stephan Elspa

    Includes index.v, 168 pages ;In Ask Questions, Get Sales, the author and sales guru Stephan Schiffman helps readers boost their careers to the gold-medal level by teaching them how to strengthen their questioning skills during the sales process. The premise is simple yet effective: In order to be successful, salespeople need to change their mindset from "need-orientated" to "do-orientated". The message of the book centers around six core "do" questions: What do you do? How do you do it? When and where do you do it? Why do you do it that way? Who do you do it with? How can we help you do it better? With this indispensable guide in their briefcase, salespeople will have information at the ready to score big sales over the short term and the long term
