Patent number: 10788330Abstract: Generating routes based on aggregated path data includes accumulating trajectory data from a plurality of users, wherein data entries in the trajectory data each include an origin and a destination. When a request for a route from a designated location to a particular destination is received from a particular user, one or more of the data entries are identified as relevant to the request for the route when the origin of a particular data entry is similar to the designated location and the destination of the particular data entry is similar to the particular destination. Route recommendations are generated for the particular user based on one or more data entries identified as relevant.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2017Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mari Fukuda, Satoshi Hosokawa, Yasutaka Nishimura, Shoichiro Watanabe

Patent number: 10745010Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for detecting anomalous vehicle behavior. It is determined whether a plurality of received car probes include one or more indicators of unusual behavior. An object agent corresponding to a vehicle having a car probe that includes an indicator of unusual behavior is selected. A search is performed to select one or more vehicles surrounding the vehicle having a car probe that includes an indicator of unusual behavior. An information entropy is determined from received car probes, for the vehicle having a car probe that includes an indicator of unusual behavior and for each of the selected surrounding vehicles. An anomalous point value is calculated for each vehicle, based on the determined information entropies. In response to determining that the anomalous point value for a car exceeds a pre-determined threshold, the vehicle is flagged as a vehicle exhibiting anomalous behavior.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2017Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mari Abe Fukuda, Satoshi Hosokawa, Yasutaka Nishimura

Publication number: 20190311077Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for generation of vehicle travel data. Past-travel data including previously taken trips, along with metadata including, but not limited to, vehicle type, vehicle model, navigation device model, are obtained and classified. A travel route for simulation data is selected. Data from various previous trips are combined to create a simulation data set for the travel route. This data is based on actual vehicle data. This can enable a new level of accuracy for data analysis and simulations based on this data as compared with purely simulated data. Actual vehicle data accounts for driver behavior, road obstacles, signage, vegetation, vehicle characteristics, and other factors that may not be able to be captured with purely simulated traffic data. Using the data generated by disclosed embodiments enables these factors to be considered in traffic analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2018Publication date: October 10, 2019Inventors: Shoichiro Watanabe, Mari A.
