Investigation and Modeling of Physical Growth of Urban Areas and its Impacts on Traffic using Night-time Light Data

摘要: Today, the rapid physical growth and development of cities has caused significant changes in their physical and functional characteristics, and as a result, many problems have arisen. The cities of Tehran and Tabriz, as the two metropolises of Iran, are no exception to this rule, because the reason for their development in recent years and the concentration and overcrowding of various uses, especially commercial uses and medical services in the central sector, issues and problems for transportation network failure. It has created two cities. Accordingly, in the present study, these two metropolises have been studied. Remote sensing observations at night provide us with an explicit and timely measurement of human activities. Numerous studies have shown that night light (NTL) can be used as a proxy for a number of variables, including urbanization, density, and economic growth. Accordingly, in this study, we …
