The approach uses an unmanned aerial vehicle to identify the driver's facial expression to determine whether there is an evidence of drunk driving behaviour is drunk driving behaviour. It then uses these models to score vehicle trajectory anomalies, including vehicle sway, vehicle sudden speed change, and signalized intersection waiting time.

To deal with two issues at the same time, this study suggests a principal control analysis-based major demand identification method to improve the usability of microscopic OD data. Especially, this study focuses on finding principal components that preserve major patterns from OD data with small random noise so that the data can be effectively used for mobility service design. The proposed method is applied to smart card data of Seoul and Sejong and extracted major demand patterns from peak- and non-peak hour data of these cities. The degree of daily regularity, reconstruction accuracy, and compression rate of the reconstructed data is analysed varying sets of principal components. The obtained results show that the major demands contain a low volume and a large volume of demand and with lower-order principal components, major demands can be efficiently extracted by removing randomly appearing small-volume demand. In addition, the trade-off behaviour is observed between the degree of daily regularity and reconstruction accuracy depending on the compression rate. Based on the observations, it can be found that the loss of major demand patterns could be prevented when targeting a reconstruction accuracy of 90–95% and the proposed method can reduce the data size while preserving major mobility patterns.</p>","PeriodicalId":50381,"journal":{"name":"IET Intelligent Transport Systems","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/itr2.12603","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143115623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study introduces an integrated scheduling method that both alleviates inter-equipment interferences and balances gantry cranes’ workloads. The underlying problem is formulated as a binary integer programming model using a novel space-time-state network. According to the specific model structure, a model reformulation method is proposed here to convert the original three-equipment scheduling model into a single-equipment scheduling version. Additionally, a Lagrangian relaxation-based heuristic is developed to efficiently solve the reformulated model. Numerical experiments are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed solution approach under various instance settings and provide managerial insights into the problem.

While extensive research has addressed various aspects of ride-hailing, few studies specifically focus on passenger security risk monitoring. This paper introduces onSecP, an online approach designed to monitor the security risks faced by ride-hailing passengers using human geography data. onSecP comprises two phases that set it apart from conventional anomalous trajectory detection methods. First, it employs an anomalous trajectory detection model using the LCSS-Kmeans-Geoinformation technique, which identifies and scores anomalous ride-hailing trajectories. Second, it utilizes a multi-parameter risk evaluation model enhanced by the AHP-Entropy-Cluster weighting method to perform real-time calculations of passenger security risks by integrating factors such as driver characteristics, trip details, geographical environment, trajectory anomaly scores, abnormal stop duration, and passenger information. Our approach leverages diverse data sources, including ride-hailing driver information, Point of Interest (POI) data as well as optimal route data from AMap, Global Positioning System (GPS) data, expert assessments, and passenger demographic surveys. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that onSecP effectively differentiates between unsafe trips and normal or abnormal trajectories, thereby significantly improving security risk monitoring for ride-hailing passengers.

The aim of this study is to analyse the safety of mixed traffic on urban roads. The driving simulation tests were conducted using a multi-agent driving simulator, which allows real-time synchronization of multiple simulators. These data were further processed to derive the driving behaviour parameters of manually driven vehicles in VISSIM traffic simulations. Driving safety evaluation indicators included conflict-related indicators, as well as individual safety indicators. The safety evaluation indicators were normalized through min–max normalization, and the risk scores were summed to evaluate the urban roads. The analysis revealed that driving safety was poor at unsignalized intersections with a market penetration rate of 10% and 50% and at signalized intersections with traffic islands and a market penetration rate of 100%, where conflicts arise from the deceleration of leading vehicles and lane changes. This finding is about the driving behaviour of automated vehicles, which maintain a greater distance from the leading vehicle than manually driven vehicles, resulting in poorer driving safety due to lane changes rather than deceleration.

However, for model training, the service area must be divided into specific areal units, which often involves grid-based methods. Although these methods are feasible and provide a uniform area division, they are highly susceptible to the Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (MAUP), which is a critical issue in spatial data analysis. Although MAUP can adversely affect predictive model learning, studies addressing this issue are scarce. Therefore, a novel base areal unit generation algorithm is proposed that employs a clustering approach to enhance the prediction accuracy in free-floating micro-mobility system demand. The method identifies suitable base areal units by merging smaller ones while considering the similarities in temporal usage patterns and distances between different areas, mitigating the impact of MAUP during model learning.

One of the most challenging and safety-critical driving situations is highway on-ramp merging. Most decision-making strategies that perform highway on-ramp merging are designed, firstly, to reduce the risk of crashes and improve the safety metrics. However, even with the development of such advanced driving systems, human drivers will still be involved in road traffic. Human drivers have various driving styles and different reactions to other traffic participants on the highway on-ramp. Understanding driver behaviors is essential for designing safe and efficient real-world driving strategies. Therefore, this paper provides a unique systematic review of existing techniques for modelling driver behaviors at highway on-ramps, which are critical locations for traffic safety and efficiency. The novelty of this review is that it proposes a new classification of current state-of-the art techniques. Each category of techniques involves a unique paradigm. For each category of approaches, fundamental concepts are examined together with their challenges and limitations, and an overview on practical implementation.

This article presents a video-based traffic analysis and anomaly detection system covering the complete data processing pipeline, including sensor data acquisition, analysis, and digital twin reconstruction. The system solves the challenge of geo-spatial mapping of captured visual data onto the road/intersection topology by semantic analysis of aerial data. Additionally, the automated camera calibration component enables instant camera pose estimation to map traffic agents onto the road/intersection surface accurately. A novel aspect is approaching the anomaly detection problem by AI analysis of both the spatio-temporal visual clues and the geo-spatial trajectories for all type of traffic participants, such as pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles. This enables recognition of anomalies related to either traffic-rule violations, for example, jaywalking, improper turns, zig-zag driving, unlawful stops, or behavioural anomalies: littering, accidents, falling, vandalism, violence, infrastructure collapse etc. The method achieves leading anomaly detection results on benchmark datasets World Cup 2014, UCF-Crime, XD-Violence, and ShanghaiTech.
