Improving Urban Growth Models with Fractional Calculus
Tags: Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore, Construction & Smart Cities, Computing Technology
Researchers developed an urban growth model using fractional calculus to account for cities' complex, delayed responses to changes, enhancing predictions for infrastructure and resource needs. This model offers insights into urban development, transportation, and resource management, crucial for sustainable city planning as global urbanization increases. It shows improved accuracy over traditional models in predicting congestion, water, and electricity metrics. The goal is to provide a predictive platform for city planning that respects data privacy.
