PROJECT TITLE :

The Engineer?s Take on Biology : The Godfather of Synthetic Biology Watched the Field Evolve and Continues to Expect Big Things

ABSTRACT:

Along with the provision of latest mobility information, the development of new intelligent transport systems (ITS) have increased, so as to supply new key performance indicators toward the development of the management of traffic awareness in cities. ITS depend upon correct transit infrastructure knowledge that often contain erroneous info (e.g., inconsistencies or is out of date). In this paper, we propose a brand new methodology that creates use of GPS traces to automatically detect or correct bus stop locations, reconstruct bus route shapes, and estimate time schedules. The methodology performs different steps: 1) data cleaning and detection of trips; 2) bus stop extraction through data mining techniques; three) route form reconstruction; and 4) time schedule estimation. A case study using real GPS data from the Town of Dublin, Ireland, is performed.
