Spaces and dynamics modelling

Presentation

This research laboratory in geography gathers several thematic areas, among which:

• Observation, modelling and simulation of human activities and landscapes for an insightful governance of cities and territories;
• Modelling infrastructures and dynamics with spatial simulation: study of network evolution and evaluation of environmental impact;
• Mobilization of specialized tools and skills  in domains of geographic information: acquisition, data preparation and treatment, remote sensing, GIS conception, analytical tools and cartographic restitution.

Projects/Achievements

• MIRO2: Intra-urban modelling of daily rhythms: increase city accessibility to control urban mobility (ANR Research project Sustainable city). Associated laboratories: UMR ThéMA (Dijon), LIFC (Franche-Comté computing laboratory), IRD (GEODES), UMR PACTE-Territoires (Grenoble), CRESE, CEDETE.
• CARGOS: Geographic data catalogue in Human and Social Sciences.
  

Applications/Markets
