Surrounding road density of child care centers in Australia. [PDF]
Sci Data, 2022 AbstractHigh surrounding road density could increase traffic-related air pollution, noise and the risk of traffic injuries, which are major public health concerns for children. We collected geographical data for all childcare centers (16,146) in Australia and provided the data on the road density surrounding them.

Classification and Characterization of Tire-Road Wear Particles in Road Dust by Density [PDF]
Polymers, 2022 Tire treads are abraded by friction with the road surface, producing tire tread wear particles (TWPs). TWPs combined with other particles on the road such as road wear particles (RWPs) and mineral particles (MPs), forming tire-road wear particles (TRWPs). Dust on an asphalt pavement road is composed of various components such as TRWPs, asphalt pavement

Road density analysis based on skeleton partitioning for road generalization
Geo-Spatial Information Science, 2009 This paper proposes an algorithm for road density analysis based on skeleton partitioning. Road density provides metric and statistical information about overall road distribution at the macro level. Existing measurements of road density based on grid method, fractal geometry and mesh density are reviewed, and a new method for computing road density ...
