Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The use of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and/or accelerometers to identify
trips and transportation modes such as walking, running, bicycling or motorized
transportation has been an active goal in multiple disciplines such as Transportation
Engineering, Computer Science, Informatics and Public Health. The purpose of this
study was to review existing methods that determined trip and travel mode from raw
Global Positioning System (GPS) and accelerometer data, and test a select group of
these methods. The study had three specific aims: (1) Create a systematic review of
existing literature that explored various methods for determining trip and travel mode
from GPS and/or accelerometer data, (2) Collect a convenience sample of subjects who
were assigned a GPS and accelerometer unit to wear while performing and logging
travel bouts consisting of walking, running, bicycling and driving, (3) Replicate selected
method designs extracted from the systematic review (aim 1) and use subject data (aim
2) to compare the methods. The results were be used to examine which methods are
effective for various modes of travel.
