چکیده

The data set contains origin-destination data of all 172 million trips with passengers of all 13,586 taxicabs in New York during the calendar year of 2011. Each vehicle is associated with a license, a so-called medallion, which is synonymously used as a name for the vehicles. These medallion taxis are the only vehicles in the city permitted to pick up passengers in response to a street hail. A medallion may be purchased from the City at infrequent auctions, or from another medallion owner. Because of their high prices medallions and most cabs are owned by investment companies and are leased to drivers. There are 39,437 unique driver IDs in the data set, which corresponds to 2.9 drivers per medallion on average. Note that we unfortunately do not have explicit information on the number of passengers per vehicle, however, following the data reported by [1], that the average daily number of passengers served by NY taxis is 600,000, with 450,000 trips on average, the average number of passengers per trip is around 1.3. The data set contains a number of fields from which we use the following: medallion ID, origin time, destination time, origin longitude, origin latitude, destination longitude, destination latitude. Times are accurate to the second, positional information has been collected via Global Positioning System (GPS) technology by the data provider. Out of our control are possible biases due to urban canyons which might have slightly distorted the GPS locations during the collection process [2]. All IDs are given in anonymized form, origin and destination values refer to the origins and destinations of trips, respectively. For creating the street network of Manhattan we used data from openstreetmap.org. We filtered the streets of Manhattan, selecting only the following road classes: primary, secondary, tertiary, residential, unclassified, road, living street. Several other classes were deliberately left

LPKP: location-based probabilistic key pre-distribution scheme for large-scale wireless sensor networks using graph coloring

Communication security of wireless sensor networks is achieved using cryptographic keys assigned to the nodes. Due to resource constraints in such networks, random key pre-distribution schemes are of high interest. Although in most of these schemes no location information is considered, there are scenarios that location information can be obtained by nodes after their deployment. In this paper,...
