Empirical testing on the New York Metropolitan data of the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) is conducted for 2001, 2009, and 2017. The findings reveal significant intra-similarities, inter-differences, and distinct changes in activity patterns across three periods for different social populations in the New York Metropolitan.

In this work, a methodology based on state space search for planning knowledge integration is proposed. The main goal of the proposal is to provide a planning system with the necessary information to perform properly any task related to lateral and longitudinal control, path following, trajectory generation, arbitration and behavior execution by localizing the vehicle with respect to a high-level road plan. To this end, this research compares cutting-edge methods for rapidly finding the K nearest neighbor in relatively high dimensional road plans constructed from the traffic information stored in a high definition map.

To address this, a crowdsourcing model gathers data from consumer-grade sensors in mass-produced vehicles to create semantic maps. Indoor parking lots lack GNSS signals, and most of them do not have high-definition maps or navigation maps as references, making it difficult to ensure the accuracy of the final mapping results. Additionally, the semantic information of indoor parking lots is relatively limited, and the geometric features are overly similar, which significantly impacts the accuracy of point cloud registration. Therefore, this article proposes a crowdsourcing-based approach, where vehicles generate local semantic maps at the client end and upload them to the cloud. Leveraging the scene characteristics of indoor parking lots, the cloud optimizes and fits a large amount of crowdsourced data to obtain a high-precision base map without prior information. Enhanced ICP point cloud registration merges subsequent maps with the base. Additionally, parking space occupancy information is provided.

This paper proposes a self-supervised vessel trajectory segmentation method (SS-VTS), which segments VTs based on their inherent spatio-temporal semantics. SS-VTS adaptively divides VTs into cells of optimal size. Then, it extracts split points on different semantic levels from the multi-dimensional feature sequence of the VTs using self-supervised learning.

For decades, data collection for the development of DCs has been conducted in three ways: chase car, instrumented vehicle, or a combination of both. Many studies have moved on to cheap and easily available global positioning system (GPS) technology, while others record vehicle data directly through the on-board diagnostics (OBD) port. However, there are major limitations to GPS data collection such as frequent inaccuracies and loss of coverage in urban environments. For this reason, both OBD and GPS vehicle speed data have been collected. Then, the recorded data has been analysed to capture any differences in sampling rates and dropping data. Finally, basic DCs were created from smoothed GPS and OBD data and compared. DCs were developed with a microtrip-based method, and a relative error term was used to compare candidate DCs to the collected data.
