  • Patent number: 11150921
    Abstract: A system, computer program product, and method is described to propose a method to automatically suggest a visualization providing the best insight for a given dataset, by maximizing an utility function computed on properties of the input data, and previously used visualizations by the same user and for the same data. In one example method for recommending a data visualization in a computer system includes receiving at least one input dataset and at least one set of previous visualizations. A utility function is accessed. A set of potential visualizations is computed using the input dataset and the set of previous visualizations. A recommendation is selected for a proposed visualization from the set of potential visualizations by maximizing a value of the utility function, whereby the proposed visualization is a new visualization not in the set of previous visualizations.

  • Patent number: 9304006
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include a method for journey planning including receiving a journey planning request. The request includes an origin and a destination in a transportation network. The method also includes calculating an optimized journey plan based on the journey planning request and a route map corresponding to the transportation network and identifying a potential event in the transportation. The method further includes monitoring the transportation network for the potential event and based on detecting an execution of the potential event, calculating an improved journey plan.

  • Publication number: 20160063405
    Abstract: Embodiments include fare evasion inference using personal mobility data in a public transportation system. Aspects include receiving personal mobility data and constructing a plurality of personal trajectories from the personal mobility data. Aspects also include mapping each of the plurality of personal trajectories to a route and time of the public transportation system and calculating an estimated occupancy for each route and time in the public transportation system based on a number of personal trajectories mapped to each route and time. Aspects further include comparing the estimated occupancy with a paying passenger data received from the public transportation system and assigning a score to each route and time in the public transportation system based on the comparison of the estimated occupancies and the paying passenger data, wherein the score is indicative of a probability of a fare evasion occurring.
