Relevance and Reliability of Area-Wide Congestion Performance Measures in Road NetworksMoran, Carlos January 2011 (has links)
For operational and planning purposes it is important to observe, predict and monitor the traffic performance of congested urban road links and networks. This monitoring effort describes the traffic conditions in road networks using congestion performance measures. The objective of this research is to analyse and evaluate methods for measuring congestion and congestion performance measures for monitoring purposes. For this objective, a selection of the required aspects of the performance measures in the literature is considered. The aspects to be considered can be classified into two categories: A first group relates to the statistical aspects of these indicators, i.e. reliability. The second relates to their ability to capture the impacts of congestion, i.e .relevance. The reliability and relevance of the congestion performance measures are evaluated. A recommendation of the most suitable indicator is provided at the end of the study. / QC 20110912

An Indexing Structure and Application Model for Vehicles Moving on Road NetworksYe, Xiangyu 13 July 2004 (has links)
Moving objects database systems are the most challenging sub-category among Spatio-Temporal database systems. A database system that updates in real-time the location information of GPS-equipped moving vehicles has to meet even stricter requirements. Currently existing data storage models and indexing mechanisms work well only when the number of moving objects in the system is relatively small. This dissertation research aimed at the real-time tracking and history retrieval of massive numbers of vehicles moving on road networks. A total solution has been provided for the real-time update of the vehicles’ location and motion information, range queries on current and history data, and prediction of vehicles’ movement in the near future. To achieve these goals, a new approach called Segmented Time Associated to Partitioned Space (STAPS) was first proposed in this dissertation for building and manipulating the indexing structures for moving objects databases. Applying the STAPS approach, an indexing structure of associating a time interval tree to each road segment was developed for real-time database systems of vehicles moving on road networks. The indexing structure uses affordable storage to support real-time data updates and efficient query processing. The data update and query processing performance it provides is consistent without restrictions such as a time window or assuming linear moving trajectories. An application system design based on distributed system architecture with centralized organization was developed to maximally support the proposed data and indexing structures. The suggested system architecture is highly scalable and flexible. Finally, based on a real-world application model of vehicles moving in region-wide, main issues on the implementation of such a system were addressed.

Spatial Constraints and Topology in Urban Road NetworksOtto, Michael 20 September 2016 (has links) (PDF)
Spatial and topological features of urban road networks have been observed variously in the past. No previous study, however, has investigated and compared an extensive data set from cities all over the world regarding their network properties. In this work, re-spectively 20 large cities from 5 continents and Germany are analyzed. In the process, node degree, link length, shortest paths, detour index as well as measures for rectangu-larity are used to characterize and to differentiate the networks. While most networks properties are quite diverse from continent to continent, the detour index as a measure of efficiency shows remarkable similarities and homogeneity over all regions, independ-ent of their spatial network structure. It is shown that in some cities this efficiency is mainly sustained by a subnetwork of major roads, while in others it relies on a balance between minor and major roads. Rectangularity in all regions is shown to be predomi-nant in the structure of minor road subnetworks, while it is shown that this feature is not trivially connected to the node degree. / Räumliche und topografische Eigenschaften urbaner Straßennetzwerke sind in der Ver-gangenheit vielfältig untersucht wurden. Keine der bisherigen Studien hat jedoch eine umfassende Anzahl weltweiter Städte auf ihre Netzwerkeigenschaften untersucht. In dieser Arbeit werden jeweils 20 Großstädte aus 5 Kontinenten analysiert. Knotengrad, Kantenlängen, kürzeste Pfade, Detour Index sowie die Rechtwinkligkeit werden schritt-weise untersucht, um die Netzwerke zu charakterisieren und voneinander zu differen-zieren. Während die meisten Netzwerkmaße große Unterscheide von Kontinent zu Kon-tinent aufweisen, lassen sich beim Detour Index, welcher ein Maß für die Effizienz im Netzwerk dient, bemerkenswerte Gemeinsamkeiten in allen Regionen unabhängig von der räumlichen Netzwerkstruktur feststellen. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Effizienz in eini-gen Städten hauptsächlich durch ein Teilnetz von Hauptstraßen getragen wird, während sie anderswo auf einer Balance zwischen Haupt- und Nebenstraßen beruht. Vor allem in der Struktur von Nebenstraßennetzwerken kann Rechtwinkligkeit festgestellt werden, während gleichzeitig wird, dass letztere in keinem trivialen Zusammenhang mit dem Knotengrad steht.

Mining mobile object trajectories: frameworks and algorithmsHan, Binh Thi 12 January 2015 (has links)
The proliferation of mobile devices and advances in geo-positioning technologies has fueled the growth of location-based applications, systems and services. Many location-based applications have now gained high popularity and permeated the daily activities of mobile users. This has led to a huge amount of geo-location data generated on a daily basis, which draws significant interests in analyzing and mining ubiquitous location data, especially trajectories of mobile objects moving in road networks (MO trajectories). Mobile trajectories are complex spatio-temporal sequences of location points with varying sample sizes and varying lengths. Mining interesting patterns from large collection of complex MO trajectories presents interesting challenges and opportunities which can reveal valuable insights to the studies of human mobility in many perspectives. This dissertation research contributes original ideas and innovative techniques for mining complex trajectories from whole trajectories, from subtrajectories of significant characteristics, and from semantic location sequences within large-scale datasets of MO trajectories.
Concretely, the first unique contribution of this dissertation is the development of NEAT, a three-phase road-network aware trajectory clustering framework to organize MO subtrajectories into spatial clusters representing highly dense and highly continuous traffic flows in a road network. Compared with existing trajectory clustering approaches, NEAT yields highly accurate clustering results and runs orders of magnitude faster by smartly utilizing traffic locality with respect to physical constraints of the road network, traffic flows among consecutive road segments and flow-based density of mobile traffic as well as road network based distances. The second original contribution of this dissertation is the design and development of TraceMob, a methodical and high performance framework for clustering whole trajectories of mobile objects. To our best knowledge, this is the first whole trajectory clustering system for MO trajectories in road networks. The core idea of TraceMob is to develop a road-network aware transformation algorithm that can map complex trajectories of varying lengths from a road network space into a multidimensional data space while preserving the relative distances between complex trajectories in the transformed metric space. The third novel contribution is the design and implementation of a fast and effective trajectory pattern mining algorithm TrajPod. TrajPod can extract the complete set of frequent trajectory patterns from large-scale trajectory datasets by utilizing space-efficient data structures and locality-aware spatial and temporal correlations for computational efficiency. A comprehensive performance study shows that TrajPod outperforms existing sequential pattern mining algorithms by an order of magnitude.

Exploring the inclusivity of electric vehicle infrastructure : Neighbourhood demographics and public charging accessibility in Gothenburg, SwedenNewton, Sarah January 2024 (has links)
This thesis explores the intersection of spatial accessibility, social equity, and neighbourhood demographics within the context of emerging urban challenges related to plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) infrastructure. Incorporating sociological theories such as spatial accessibility and spatial segregation, combined with statistical methods including network routing analyses and multilevel modelling, it examines how neighbourhood demographics shape patterns of spatial accessibility to public charging infrastructure across the city of Gothenburg. In considering neighbourhood demographics in urban planning processes, municipalities can develop more equitable urban development strategies that facilitate EV adoption outside of prevalent demographics. The findings highlight current disparities in access to public charging opportunities, particularly in segregated neighbourhoods, and stress the need for targeted planning strategies to promote social inclusion in this area. This can contribute to local PEV charging network expansion by providing key insights and points for further research and provides a foundation for discussions on related areas, including the provision of emerging transport initiatives such as public car-sharing points.

Grid-aware evaluation of regular path queries on large Spatial networksMiao, Zhuo 20 August 2007 (has links)
Regular path queries (RPQs), expressed as regular expressions over the alphabet of database edge-labels, are commonly used for guided navigation of graph databases. RPQs are the basic building block of almost all the query languages for graph databases, providing the user with a nice and simple way to express recursion. While convenient to use, RPQs are notorious for their high computational demand. Except for few theoretical works, there has been little work evaluating RPQs on databases of great practical interest, such as large spatial networks.
In this thesis, we present a grid-aware, fault tolerant distributed algorithm for answering RPQs on spatial networks. We engineer each part of the algorithm to account for the assumed computational-grid setting. We experimentally evaluate our algorithm, and show that for typical user queries, our algorithm satisfies the desiderata for distributed computing in general, and computational-grids in particular.
