LIBERGEO Research Group

The Modelling Group (Groupe Modélisation) is a part of the French research council (CNRS) funded LiberGEO research group. It provides an arena for the scientific exchange and cooperation on the theme of spatial modelling.
The group is founded on the principle that as long as intellectual property rights with respect to models are respected, all research benefits as much from exchanges about the concepts and hypotheses as from the exchange of algorithms and software.
The group wishes to (...)

SimNoise: Simulating the Impact of Noise Annoyance on Intra-urban Residential Migration

Authors of the model: Cécile Tannier and Hélène Houot (ThéMA, University of Franche-Comté, Besançon, France)
Creation date: August 2003
The goal of the SimNoise model is to evaluate the impact of traffic noise on residential [hyp209; location dynamics]. It allows the calculation of the probability that the agents living in a given spatial unit will leave this location because of traffic noise.
The mathematical formalisation of the SimNoise model is of a probabilistic nature. The basis for (...)

3D-IMA: Simulation of the Visual Impact of a Planning Project

Author of the model: Kamal SERRHINI
Creation date:
The goals of 3D-IMA:
simulation of visual impacts of a (punctual or linear) planning project on the landscape;
taking part in the multicriterion estimation process of the layouts or in the localisation of a development;
determination of spaces (landscapes, communities, residents) having priority with respect to the French grant called "1% landscape and development".
The principles of the model result from the Euclidean geometry applied (...)

RamCO: An integrated assessment tool for sustainable coastal zone management

RamCo is the first prototype of an information system, which is to evolve eventually into a Generic Decision Support System for the Integrated Assessment of Sustainable Coastal Zone Management problems. The ultimate aim is to develop a system that will be applicable for the purpose of (1) rapid assessment, to (2) a wide range of coastal zone management problems, in (3) most of the coastal zones of the world. RamCo was financed by and is a product of the National Institute for Coastal and (...)
