  • Publication number: 20250102316
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an urban traffic velocity estimation method based on multi-source crowd sensing data. This method, based on roadside pedestrian data and road navigation data collected by smart phones, obtains a final estimated velocity through the steps of missing data filling, self-view velocity aggregation and multi-view velocity fusion. This fine-grained large-scale urban traffic velocity estimation method can achieve velocity estimation on all types of roads, including suburban road sections and paths, instead of just focusing on main roads in a city center. According to the present invention, based on data driving, the urban traffic velocity estimation method does not need to install additional devices on roads, and is low in cost and high in universality. Compared with the prior art, the urban traffic velocity estimation method has higher practicability, theoretical property and applicability, and is of great significance for improving traffic management and planning.

  • Publication number: 20240386251
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a human mobility prediction method based on a generative adversarial network. According to the method, the integration of spatio-temporal features of multimodal data is studied by virtue of studying urban human mobility prediction during the pandemic. A human mobility mode is difficult to be predicted during the pandemic due to complex multimodal data such as complicated social background, policy and pandemic situation. The analysis of human mobility data from three cities in China shows that different cities have highly similar human mobility modes during the pandemic, despite of great differences between them. On this basis, the disclosure designs a prediction model, in which the effects of the multimodal data on the spatio-temporal features of the human mobility are modeled integrally. In addition to this, the model can help the government evaluate the potential effects of different policies on human mobility better, and optimize policy development.
