Education Is Positively and Causally Linked With Spatial Navigation Ability Across the Lifespan
There is consistent evidence for a positive association between education and a wide range of cognitive abilities. In particular, spatial abilities have been shown to be strongly related to academic achievement. However, studying this association is complex as both education and spatial abilities are modulated by multivariate sociodemographic factors, likely to vary across countries. Most previous studies relied on small sample sizes or were rest…
London taxi drivers exploit neighbourhood boundaries for hierarchical route planning
Humans show an impressive ability to plan over complex situations and environments. A classic approach to explaining such planning has been tree-search algorithms which search through alternative state sequences for the most efficient path through states. However, this approach fails when the number of states is large due to the time to compute all possible sequences. Hierarchical route planning has been proposed as an alternative, offering a com…
Agent-based modelling of older adult needs for autonomous mobility-on-demand
As the populations continue to age across many nations, ensuring accessible and efficient transportation options for older adults has become an increasingly important concern. Autonomous Mobility-on-Demand (AMoD) systems have emerged as a potential solution to address the needs faced by older adults in their daily mobility. However, estimation of older adult mobility needs, and how they vary over space and time, is crucial for effective planning …

Quantifying city freight mobility segregation associated with truck multi-tours behavior
Social inequality and the changing patterns of travel in the pandemic and post-pandemic era
The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on mobility patterns resulting in a significant literature investigating travel behaviours over the course of the pandemic. Missing from much existing work on pandemic mobility is an explicit handling of the time-of-day of travel, which in previous literature has been shown to be an important factor in understanding mobility and, importantly, in understanding the impact on transport networks. …
Pitching Democracy
In 2004, professional baseball player Alex Rodriguez told a sports editor for the Santo Domingo paper El Nacional that he was “more Dominican than a plantain.” While a US citizen by birth, Rodriguez was laying claim to belonging in one of the global South's most recognized baseball nations for a number of reasons, not least of which were his Dominican parents. In addition to instigating no small amount of discussion in the country at the time, th…
Neighbourhood-level pedestrian navigation using the construal level theory
Pedestrian navigation decisions take place simultaneously at multiple spatial scales. Yet most models of pedestrian behaviour focus either on local physical interactions or optimisation of routes across a road network. We present a novel hierarchical pedestrian route choice framework that integrates dynamic, perceptual decisions at the street level with abstract, network-based decisions at the neighbourhood level. The framework is based on constr…
The Impact of Spatial Orientation Changes on Driving Behavior in Healthy Aging
We established for the first time that worse spatial orientation performance predicted increased driving difficulty and avoidance of challenging situations within an older adult cohort. Deficits in spatial orientation emerge as a robust indicator of driving performance in older age, which should be considered in future aging driving assessments, as it has clear relevance for road safety within the aging population
A metro smart card data-based analysis of group travel behaviour in Shanghai, China
Group travel behaviour widely exists in cities, but has not been well investigated by researchers. To fill this gap, this paper develops a co-existence-based methodological framework to systematically explore the spatiotemporal characteristics of group travel behaviour. We apply our framework to a case study of Shanghai, China, using a one-month tranche of metro smart card data. Results show that most travellers perform a small number of group tr…
Future Developments in Geographical Agent‐Based Models
Despite reaching a point of acceptance as a research tool across the geographical and social sciences, there remain significant methodological challenges for agent‐based models. These include recognizing and simulating emergent phenomena, agent representation, construction of behavioral rules, and calibration and validation. While advances in individual‐level data and computing power have opened up new research avenues, they have also brought wit…

Walking on Water—A Natural Experiment of a Population Health Intervention to Promote Physical Activity after the Winter Holidays
Background : Very few experimental studies exist describing the effect of changes to the built environment and opportunities for physical activity (PA). We examined the impact of an urban trail created on a frozen waterway on visitor counts and PA levels. Methods : We studied a natural experiment in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada that included 374,204 and 237,362 trail users during the 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 winter seasons. The intervention was a 10…
Network criticality and the node-place-design model
A computational approach to ‘The Image of the City’
In The Image of the City Lynch describes how individuals perceive and recall features in urban spaces. The most distinctive elements in the urban landscape - categorised in paths, nodes, edges, districts and landmarks - give shape to individuals' mental representation of the city. Lynch’s approach has stimulated research into spatial cognition, urban design and artificial intelligence, and it still represents an essential pillar in the analysis o…
Spatiotemporal variation in travel regularity through transit user profiling
New smart card datasets are providing new opportunities to explore travel behaviour in much greater depth than anything accomplished hitherto. Part of this quest involves measuring the great array of regular patterns within such data and explaining these relative to less regular patterns which have often been treated in the past as noise. Here we use a simple method called DBSCAN to identify clusters of travel events associated with particular in…
Revisiting the Past
Over sixty years ago, geography began its so-called quantitative revolution, where for the first time statistical methods were used to explain the spatial nature of geographic phenomena. Computers made some of this possible, but their limited power did not allow for more than relatively small analytic explorations and consequently many of these earlier ideas are now buried in the mists of time. Here we attempt to replicate one of these early anal…
An Islandwide Struggle for Freedom
Since the early 2000s, a number of scholars have been attempting to resuscitate the history of Hispaniola as a crucial nexus in our understandings of enslavement, emancipation, revolution, independence, and nation building in the Atlantic world. While in some ways the desire to dig deeper into contemporary debates on the origins of structural inequalities in Haiti or the purported Dominican racial hatred of Haitians has fueled scholarly reassessm…
Exploratory Models in a time of Big Data
This paper aims to trigger discourse about the emergence of a new type of social scientific model — Exploratory Models — which draw on Big Data, computer modeling and interdisciplinary research to tackle complex social scientific processes. First, we define Exploratory Models referring to Batty and Morgan and Morrison. We then present changes to the traditional modeling paradigm. We show how Exploratory Models circumvent challenges related to the…
Shortest path or anchor-based route choice
Understanding and modelling route choice behaviour is central to predicting the formation and propagation of urban road congestion. Yet within conventional literature disagreements persist around the nature of route choice behaviour, and how it should be modelled. In this paper, both the shortest path and anchor-based perspectives on route choice behaviour are explored through an empirical analysis of nearly 700,000 minicab routes across London, …
Identifying functional urban regions within traffic flow
In this work, community detection algorithms are applied to a topological representation of the road network formed through observed routing behaviour. The resulting communities provide an insight into how areas of the city may be grouped as functional regions, shaped purely on their shared usage

Intimate Violations
The foundation of social order, the primary essence and basic nucleus of every political organization, rests in the family, without whose stable and healthy development, the prosperity of the nation is impossible. On the afternoon of August 10, 1959, several dozen Dominican and Cuban women gathered in the streets of Havana. Dressed in black as though headed to a funeral, they mourned the political situation in the neighboring Dominican Republic. …
