Analysis of urban space from the pedestrian point of view: GIS, CV, SVI, VR

Associate professor at Centrale Nantes

Nantes, France

About

Interest in DUT
We aim to advance knowledge and develop tools for analysing and designing walkable urban spaces, contributing to the decarbonisation of mobility.

We offer expertise in studying the urban environment at the pedestrian level, focusing on environmental indicators such as urban form, spatial dynamics, visualisation of urban data, sensory perception of urban spaces, and on-site geopositioning.

Group description
We are a research group at Centrale Nantes in the field of urban informatics, specialising in the analysis of urban space from a pedestrian perspective to enhance walkability, using digital tools such as:

  • GIS (morphological analysis, SVF, space syntax)

  • Street view image / video (from the sidewalk)

  • Virtual reality

  • Eye tracking (outdoor glasses – Tobii Eye Pro 3)

We also have expertise in qualitative analysis of user experience and Urban Design Qualities.

Laboratory description
The AAU Laboratory has developed in a cross-disciplinary way, both in its composition (architects, sociologists, computer scientists, urban planners), in the issues it addresses (architecture, environment, urbanism), and in the tools it designs and implements (in situ surveys, modelling and simulation, virtual reality, etc.).
