  • All ridership is local

    Open AccessBoer Cui, James A DeWeese et al.ARTICLEJournal of Transport Geography2022Citada por: 1Referências: 4

    Research on accessibility, a measure of ease of reaching potential opportunities, has advanced significantly, but the adoption of these measures by public transport agencies has lagged. One explanation may be that research has been conducted at different spatial scales from the stop level typically used by agencies. To address this gap, this study examines the relationship between accessibility to jobs and average daily bus boardings at the bus-s…

  • Pilot project purgatory? Assessing automated vehicle pilot projects in U.S. cities

    Open AccessDevon McAslan, Farah Najar Arevalo et al.ARTICLEHumanities and Social Sciences…2021

    Pilot projects have emerged in cities globally as a way to experiment with the utilization of a suite of smart mobility and emerging transportation technologies. Automated vehicles (AVs) have become central tools for such projects as city governments and industry explore the use and impact of this emerging technology. This paper presents a large-scale assessment of AV pilot projects in U.S. cities to understand how pilot projects are being used t…

  • Evaluating Geodesign for Community-Based Tribal Planning

    Jonathan Davis, K David Pijawka et al.ARTICLEJournal of the American Planning…2021

    Problem, research strategy, and findings Geodesign is a technology-supported planning approach that combines community collaboration and engagement with geospatial analysis to make land use decisions quickly. In this study we tested the role of Geodesign in improving the quality of local plans through community participation and collaborative decision making supported by geospatial analysis. Our research evaluates Geodesign as a tool and process …

  • Visioning transport futures through windows of opportunity

    David A King, Kevin J KrizekARTICLETown Planning Review2021

    The COVID-19 pandemic helped reveal much-needed insights about how people view cities and interact with public space City leaders, planners and even the public realized how much space in streets is devoted to moving automobiles at the expense of walking and bicycling Responses to the pandemic, furthermore, helped people become aware of how the character of streets can change quickly Here, King and Krizek argue that there is an urgency to act now,…

    Donald Shoup has been laser focused on parking for decades. In 2005 he published The High Cost of Free Parking, which at 750 pages may have seemed like the last word about this issue. It wasn’t, an

  • Who Decides? Toward a Typology of Transit Governance

    Open AccessLauren Ames Fischer, Rosalie Singerman Ray et al.ARTICLEUrban Science2020Referências: 15

    This article describes a typology for formal governance structures of public transit in the United States to support inquiry into how organizational structures influence policy making processes, organizational capacity and policy outcomes. Scholarship of public transit has largely explored outcome-based research while paying less attention to how decisions are made. Despite some transport scholarship that shows how institutional characteristics i…

  • Accessibility in Practice

    Open AccessDenise Capasso da Silva, David A King et al.ARTICLESustainability2019

    Cities can enhance their sustainability planning by prioritizing accessibility as a performance metric for transportation planning. In this context, accessibility measures the ease of reaching opportunities and captures more characteristics of sustainable cities than the more conventionally used mobility metrics, focusing on the overall ability to move and generally recommending faster speeds to overcome distance. However, how cities can prioriti…

  • The Poverty of the Carless

    Open AccessDavid A King, Michael Smart et al.ARTICLEJournal of Planning Education and…2019Citada por: 16Referências: 3

    We document the falling socioeconomic status of American households without private vehicles and the continuing financial burden that cars present for low-income households that own them. We tie both these trends to the auto-orientation of America’s built environment, which forces people to either spend heavily on cars or risk being locked out of the economy. We first show that vehicle access remains difficult for low-income households and vehicl…

  • Long Term Land Use Effects of New Rail Investment

    Open AccessDavid A King, Lauren Ames FischerARTICLEUrban Science2018Referências: 3

    In recent decades, U.S. cities have invested in rail transit for reasons beyond supplying alternatives to driving. Increasingly, rail investments are specifically promoted to reshape the built environment for property-led economic development. In these cases, new investment in rail transit is claimed to facilitate particular types of land use changes, mostly in the form of dense multi-family residential and mixed-use developments. Although rail’s…

  • Trends in Taxi Use and the Advent of Ridehailing, 1995–2017

    Open AccessMatthew Conway, Deborah Salon et al.ARTICLEUrban Science2018Citada por: 6Referências: 2

    The advent of ridehailing services such as Uber and Lyft has expanded for-hire vehicle travel. We use data from the 2017 National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) to investigate the extent of this expansion in the United States. We report changes in the for-hire vehicle market since ridehailing services became available and statistically estimate the determinants of ridehailing use. From 2009–2017, the for-hire vehicle market share doubled. While f…

  • European Astrolabes to ca. 1500

    David A KingARTICLEMedieval Encounters2017

    Research on medieval European astrolabes has hitherto been somewhat haphazard. Most pieces are unsigned and undated, many difficult to assign to a specific region. Some early ones cannot be understood without reference to the Islamic tradition from which they derive. What are perhaps the most important pieces from a historical point of view—the earliest-known astrolabe, from 10th-century Catalonia, and the astrolabe made by the leading astronomer…

  • Astrometeorologia y astrologia medievales * By Julio Samso

    David A KingARTICLEJournal of Islamic Studies2011

    An imposing number of studies on the history of astronomy in Muslim Spain has been produced by five generations of scholars at the University of Barcelona. The already prodigious José-María Millás Vallicrosa (1897–1970) was followed by the yet more diverse Juan Vernet (b. 1923), and their most distinguished pupil was Julio Samsó (b. 1942). It is Samsó who has spawned the impressive group of scholars of the fourth generation (Emilia Calvo, the lat…

  • In Synchrony with the Heavens, Volume 1 Call of the Muezzin

    David A King, David KingBOOKIn Synchrony with the Heavens,…2004

    This is the first investigation of one of the main interests of astronomy in Islamic civilization, namely, timekeeping by the sun and stars and the regulation of the astronomically-defined times of Muslim prayer. The study is based on over 500 medieval astronomical manuscripts first identified by the author, now preserved in libraries all over the world and originally from the entire Islamic world from the Maghrib to Central Asia and the Yemen. T…

  • World-Maps for Finding the Direction and Distance to Mecca

    J L Berggren, David A KingARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…2001

    Presents an overview of the ways in which Muslims over the centuries have determined the sacred direction towards Mecca (qibla) and then describes, in detail, two 17th-century brass Iranian maps discovered in 1989 and 1995. The author shows that the geographical data derives from a 15th-century Central Asian source and that the mathematics underlying the grid was developed in 9th-century Baghdad

  • Wine-Gauging at Damme [The evidence of a late medieval manuscript]

    Ad Meskens, Germain Bonte et al.ARTICLEHistoire & Mesure1999

    During the late Middle Ages, Damme, the outport of Bruges, was an important staple town, i.a. for wines. The measurement of the volume of the barrels for tax and excise purposes was farmed out to the Hospital of St. John. Although the practice of measuring wine barrels was performed throughout the Middle Ages, few medieval documents about how this was done are known. The history of Damme shows that gauging was performed in the Low Countries as we…

  • Two Iranian world maps for finding the direction and distance to Mecca

    David A KingARTICLEImago Mundi1997Citada por: 4Referências: 4

    Two Islamic brass scientific instruments, each bearing a map of the world for finding the direction and distance to Mecca, have come to light since 1989. They both appear to date from Safavid Iran, possibly from the late seventeenth century. Each is a copy of a different earlier map of the same kind, and both these derive from a more elaborate prototype. They are the only known surviving Islamic world maps with localities properly marked on a com…

  • Issues raised by Ruthrof’s ’Meaning

    Open AccessDavid A King, David KingARTICLESemiotica1997

    In 'Meaning: An intersemiotic perspective', Ruthrof argues that the entirety of human experience can be construed in terms of sign systems. Following Peirce, who maintains that we think only in signs, he says: \n \n... reality is the result of the corroboration of one system by at least one other sign system. Or, more simply, reality occurs when signs from different significatory systems support one another. (Ruthrof 1995: 25) \n \nIn my opinion,…

    Only recently have the abundant sources relating to the application of astronomy to the needs of religious ritual in medieval Islam been studied, and it is now possible to write a new chapter in the history of Islamic astronomy. Simple techniques were advocated by the scholars of the religious law, highly sophisticated and complicated solutions were proposed by the Muslim scientists. It is not without interest to compare and contrast this activit…
