• Abstract: Mobility is a key factor in urban life and transport network plays a vital role in mobility. Worse transport network having less mobility is one of the key reasons to decline the living standard in any unplanned mega city. Transport mobility enhancement in an unplanned mega city is always challenging due to various constraints including complex design and high cost involvement. The aim of this thesis is to enhance transport mobility in a megacity introducing a bicycle lane. To design the bicycle lane natural Physarum, brainless single celled multi-nucleated protist, is studied and modified for better optimization. Recently Physarum inspired techniques are drawn significant attention to the construction of effective networks. Exiting Physarum inspired models effectively and efficiently solves different problems including transport network design and modification and implication for bicycle lane is the unique contribution of this study. Central area of Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, is considered to analyze and design the bicycle lane network bypassing primary roads.

  Navigating urban environments poses unique challenges for robots, necessitating innovative solutions for locomotion and navigation. This work introduces a fully integrated system comprising adaptive locomotion control, mobility-aware local navigation planning, and large-scale path planning within the city. Using model-free reinforcement learning (RL) techniques and privileged learning, we develop a versatile locomotion controller. Our controllers are integrated into a large-scale urban navigation system and validated by autonomous, kilometer-scale navigation missions conducted in Zurich, Switzerland, and Seville, Spain.

  We study different variations of growing a synthetic bicycle network between an arbitrary set of points routed on the urban street network. We find initially decreasing returns on investment until a critical threshold, posing fundamental consequences to sustainable urban planning. We also find pronounced overlaps of synthetically grown networks in cities with well-developed existing bicycle networks, showing that our model reflects reality.
