Kernel Density Estimation Of Traffic Accidents In A Network Space, Zhixiao Xie, Jun Yan
Kernel Density Estimation Of Traffic Accidents In A Network Space, Zhixiao Xie, Jun Yan
Dr Jun Yan
A standard planar Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) aims to produce a smooth density surface of spatial point events over a 2-D geographic space. However, the planar KDE may not be suited for characterizing certain point events, such as traffic accidents, which usually occur inside a 1-D linear space, the roadway network. This paper presents a novel network KDE approach to estimating the density of such spatial point events. One key feature of the new approach is that the network space is represented with basic linear units of equal network length, termed lixel (linear pixel), and related network topology. The use …

Dating Of Major Normal Fault Systems Using Thermochronology: An Example From The Raft River Detachment, Basin And Range, Western United States, Michael Wells, Lawrence Snee, Ann Blythe

Application of thermochronological techniques to major normal fault systems can resolve the timing of initiation and duration of extension, rates of motion on detachment faults, timing of ductile mylonite formation and passage of rocks through the crystal-plastic to brittle transition, and multiple events of extensional unroofing. Here we determine the above for the top-to-the-east Raft River detachment fault and shear zone by study of spatial gradients in 40Ar/39Ar and fission track cooling ages of footwall rocks and cooling histories and by comparison of cooling histories with deformation temperatures. Mica 40Ar/39Ar cooling ages indicate that extension-related cooling began at ∼25–20 Ma, …
