• Abstract: Public transport has become an essential part of urban existence with increased population densities and environmental awareness. Large quantities of data are currently generated, allowing for more robust methods to understand travel behavior by harvesting smart card usage. However, public transport datasets suffer from data integrity problems; boarding stop information may be missing due to imperfect acquirement processes or inadequate reporting. We developed a supervised machine learning method to impute missing boarding stops based on ordinal classification using GTFS timetable, smart card, and geospatial datasets. A new metric, Pareto Accuracy, is suggested to evaluate algorithms where classes have an ordinal nature. Results are based on a case study in the city of Beer Sheva, Israel, consisting of one month of smart card data. We show that our proposed method is robust to irregular travelers and significantly outperforms well-known imputation methods without the need to mine any additional datasets. Validation of data from another Israeli city using transfer learning shows the presented model is general and context-free. The implications for transportation planning and travel behavior research are further discussed.

• Learning Citywide Patterns of Life from Trajectory Monitoring [0.0]
  We learn patterns of life by monitoring a data stream for anomalies and explicitly extracting normal patterns over time. We mine patterns-of-interest from the Porto taxi dataset, including both major public holidays and newly-discovered transportation anomalies. We anticipate that the capability to incrementally learn normal and abnormal road transportation behavior will be useful in many domains, including smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and urban planning and management.

  A need to understand and predict vehicles' behavior underlies both public and private goals in the transportation domain. Recent studies have found, at best, only marginal improvements in predictive performance from incorporating temporal information. We propose an approach based on hypernetworks, in which a neural network learns to change its own weights in response to an input.

  Vehicle trajectory prediction tasks have been commonly tackled from two perspectives: knowledge-driven or data-driven. In this paper, we propose to learn a "Realistic Residual Block" (RRB) which effectively connects these two perspectives. Our proposed method outputs realistic predictions by confining the residual range and taking into account its uncertainty.
