Complexity theories of cities have come of age: an overview with implications to urban planning and design
Today, our cities are an embodiment of the complex, historical evolution of knowledge,
desires and technology. Our planned and designed activities co-evolve with our aspirations …

Route planning in transportation networks
We survey recent advances in algorithms for route planning in transportation networks. For
road networks, we show that one can compute driving directions in milliseconds or less even …

Exact routing in large road networks using contraction hierarchies
Contraction hierarchies are a simple approach for fast routing in road networks. Our
algorithm calculates exact shortest paths and handles road networks of whole continents …
