  • Patent number: 11955000
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for generating and evaluating street grids comprising: receiving street grid information corresponding to a plurality of locations, wherein the street grid information corresponding to a location is associated with vehicular traffic information; training a pedestrian comfort model using the street grid information and the vehicular traffic information, wherein an output of the pedestrian comfort model is a predicted pedestrian comfort score that is based on traffic congestion from the vehicular traffic information; receiving a plurality of potential street grids; evaluating each potential street grid in the plurality of potential street grids using the trained pedestrian comfort model, wherein the trained pedestrian comfort model generates predicted pedestrian comfort scores for portions of each potential street grid; and generating an augmented map of each potential street grid that presents the predicted pedestrian comfort scores for each portion of each potential street grid.

  • Publication number: 20210150086
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for generative urban design where maps are generated using fractals are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises: identifying, using a hardware processor, area information for a particular geographic location; identifying, using the hardware processor, fractal generation parameters; generating, using the hardware processor, a fractal using the fractal generation parameters; generating, using the hardware processor, an array that represents the particular geographic location based on the fractal and the area information; and generating, using the hardware processor, one or more maps of the particular geographic location using the array.
