A Decision Tree Classification Model to Automate Trip Purpose Derivation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Departments of Transportation (DoT) at the state and federal level are consistently try to log travel behavior of individuals to help with urban planning. This is done by placing a Global Positioning System (GPS) in a users’ vehicle, and augmenting the electronic data with a travel diary to classify the purpose of each trip. Travel diary’s are typically kept to log the time, length, and purpose of all trips throughout an individuals day. Using just electronic data will not allow for the trip purpose to be derived, however. Unfortunately an inaccurate or incomplete travel diary threatens the accuracy of the results and ultimately any study using the data. This study presents a classification model to determine trip purpose from passively collected GPS data and eliminates the need for a travel diary altogether. This solution is useful not just because of the improvement in gaining accurate data, but it allows more data to be collected and classified by eliminating the need for active user participation in the data collection process.

Investigating the Transferability of Individual Trip Rates: A Decision Tree Approach
Transferring trip rates to areas without local survey data is a common practice which is typically performed in an ad-hoc fashion using household-based cross-classification tables. This paper applies a rule-based method called decision tree to develop individuallevel trip generation models for eight different trip purposes as defined in the National Household Travel Survey data (NHTS 2009) in a...

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women. Mammography remains today the best technology to detect breast cancer, early and efficiently, to distinguish between benign and malignant diseases. Several techniques in image processing and analysis have been developed to address this problem. In this paper, we propose a new solution to the problem of computer aided detection and...
متن کاملSteel Buildings Damage Classification by damage spectrum and Decision Tree Algorithm
Results of damage prediction in buildings can be used as a useful tool for managing and decreasing seismic risk of earthquakes. In this study, damage spectrum and C4.5 decision tree algorithm were utilized for damage prediction in steel buildings during earthquakes. In order to prepare the damage spectrum, steel buildings were modeled as a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system and time-history...
