Route Prediction from Trip Observations

This paper develops and tests algorithms for predicting the end-to-end route of a vehicle based on GPS observations of the vehicle’s past trips. We show that a large portion of a typical driver’s trips are repeated. Our algorithms exploit this fact for prediction by matching the first part of a driver’s current trip with one of the set of previously observed trips. Rather than predicting upcomi...

A Trip from Object to Image and Back

While the impressive and ambitious technology of laser scanning is evolving very fast, “traditional” methods are striving to earn the attention they deserve. For certain applications of 3D visualization of objects, classical techniques may still be used with impressive results. In this paper the steps for the production of a complete 3D digital rendering of the Katholikon of the Dafni Monastery...

Moving from Trip-Based to Activity-Based Measures of Accessibility

This paper studies the properties and performance of a new measure of accessibility, called the Activity-Based Accessibility (ABA) measure, and compares it to traditional measures of accessibility, including isochrone, gravity and utility-based measures. The novel aspect of the ABA is that it measures accessibility to all activities in which an individual engages and incorporates constraints su...
