Road Networks play an important role in various applications such as urban and rural planning, infrastructure planning, transportation management, vehicle navigation. Extraction of Roads from Remote Sensed satellite images for updating road database in geographical information systems (GIS) is generally done manually by a human operator. However, manual extraction of roads is time consuming and labor intensive process. In the existing literature, there are a great number of researches published for the purpose of automating the road extraction process. However, automated processes still yield some erroneous and incomplete results and human intervention is still required. The aim of this research is to propose a framework for road network extraction from high spatial resolution multi-spectral imagery (MSI) to improve the accuracy of road extraction systems. The proposed framework begins with a spectral classification using One-class Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) classifiers. Spectral Classification exploits the spectral signature of road surfaces to classify road pixels. Then, an iterative template matching filter is proposed to refine spectral classification results. K-medians clustering algorithm is employed to detect candidate road centerline points. Final road network formation is achieved by Markov Random Fields. The extracted road network is evaluated against a reference dataset using a set of quality metrics.

Spatial analysis of two-wheeled vehicles traffic crashes: Osmaniye in Turkey YALÇIN, GÜLER; Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem (2015-11-01) To achieve a sustainable traffic management and sustainable transportation planning in urban areas one of the tools that can be used effectively is Geographic Information Systems. In Turkey Transportation Department under Civil Engineering deals with roads and railways which are open to public such as inner city and outer city traffic arrangements with General Directorate of Security. This paper aims to analyze road traffic accident distribution according to the vehicle types involved in the accidents for u...
Automatic multi-scale-segmentation of high spatial resolution satellite images using watersheds Şahin, Kerem; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) Useful information extraction from satellite images for the use of other higher level applications such as road network extraction and update, city planning etc. is a very important and active research area. It is seen that pixel-based techniques becomes insufficient for this task with increasing spatial resolution of satellite imaging sensors day by day. Therefore, the use of object-based techniques becomes indispensable and the segmentation method selection is very crucial for object-based techniques. In ...
Changing relationship between urban and rural: the observed features of new rurality in rural areas Özdirek, Sibel; Pınarcıoğlu, Mehmet Melih; Department of City and Regional Planning (2011) The new changes such as developments in transportation and communication technology, globalization of markets, intensification of flow of information, ideas and innovations since the 1980s have helped to increase the interaction between urban and rural and this process have had very important impact on the resemblance process of rural areas to urban areas with some characteristics, vice versa. Therefore the process have had an effect on the blurring strict distinction between urban and rural in worldwide. T...
Assessment of scenarios for sustainable transportation at METU Campus Altıntaşı, Oruç; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Sustainable transportation aims encouragement of non-motorized (pedestrian and bicyclist) and shared-ride transportation modes instead of car-dependent travels. This is important for university campuses, as they have better chance to implement such policies in a rather controlled traffic network, and can set an example to other communities. Most of sustainable campus transportation programs boil down to reduction of car-based emission cost of campus mobility, which is always the first step in developing mor...
Türkiye’deki Kentiçi Ulaşım Planlaması Çalışmalarının Değerlendirilmesi Özalp, Musa; Öcalır, Ebru Vesile (2008-1-1) Nazım planların arazi kullanım kararları ve ulaşım yapısı arasındaki etkileşim ve uyumu analiz eden kapsamlı kentsel ulaşım planları dünyanın çeşitli kentleri için 1950’li yıllardan bu yana hazırlanmakta ve uygulanmaktadır. Türkiye’de geçtiğimiz 50 yılda özellikle büyük kentlerde kentsel trafik ve ulaşım sistemlerini planlamak üzere pek çok ulaşım çalışması ve planı yürütülmüştür. Çalışmanın, Türkiye’deki kentsel ulaşım planlama çalışmaları anlamında bir envanter niteliği bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Türk k...
