GPS Data Collection Setting For Pedestrian Activity Modelling Adel Bolbol Fernández Tao Cheng Department of Civil, Environmental & Geomatic Engineering UCL

Outline • Background – Research Area – Positioning Sensor Devices – Scenario • Why – Epoch Rate Detection? – Pedestrians? • Test – Data – Method – Limitations • Observations – Positional Error – Route Length Error – Average Speed Error – Start & End Error • Conclusions Background Why? Test Analysis Conclusions

Background: Research Area Location Information Activity Recognition “Sensor Data” •Diaries/logs GPS GSM Wi-Fi RFID •Algorithms Inferring Trip Trip Start Transport Trip Route Purpose & End Mode Modelling •Spatio-Temporal Human Activity •Travel Behaviour Background Why? Test Analysis Conclusions

Background: Positioning Sensor Devices Travel Data Wi-Fi, GSM GPS & RFID Indoor Wide High Long Life Small Size Coverage Coverage Accuracy Battery Non- Logged Data Real Time Interactivity Desirable Properties Interactive Background Why? Test Analysis Conclusions

Why Pedestrians? 1. Almost every journey starts and ends in the “Pedestrian” Mode (Walking) 2. Unlike vehicles, No Traffic Routing rules are followed Background Why? Test Analysis Conclusions

Why Find Best Epoch Rate? “Epoch Rate” The frequency at which GPS measurements are taken “Data Collection Rate” (e.g. every 30 seconds) “Capture Rate” Is the more data the better? When is data too much? & Where is the threshold? Practicability of battery requirements? Best epoch rate for a realistic, accurate, battery efficient representation of human behaviour Background Why? Test Analysis Conclusions

Scenario 1. Route Detection Walk 5 2. Detection of MoT 3. Start & End Locations 2 Work Bus 4. Trip Purpose GPS points User GPS Walk 3 Home – Work Home Walk Trip 4 Tube 1 Background Why? Test Analysis Conclusions

Why Find Best Epoch Rate Detection? 10S 1. For Route Detection Epoch rate = 10 Seconds Background Why? Test Analysis Conclusions

Why Find Best Epoch Rate Detection? 20S 1. For Route Detection Epoch rate = 20 10 Seconds Background Why? Test Analysis Conclusions

Why Find Best Epoch Rate Detection? 60S 1. For Route Detection Epoch rate = 60 20 Seconds Background Why? Test Analysis Conclusions

Why Find Best Epoch Rate Detection? 4 1. For Route Detection 2. For Mode Detection 3. For Detecting Start-End Work Epoch rate = 60 Seconds Walk Bus Home Background Why? Test Analysis Conclusions

Test: Data • 7-8 minute walking journey • Data was collected every 1 second • Data was thinned to the following epoch rates: (1, 10, 20, 30, 60, 120 and 300 seconds) • 11 datasets were collected for the exact same journey Background Why? Test Analysis Conclusions

Test: Method 1. Route taken 1. Positional Errors (Map matching) 2. Distance Travelled 2. Route Length Errors 3. Trajectory Speed 3. Average Speed Errors 4. Identifying Trip Start 4. Distances from First & End & last points to Trips’ Start & End Background Why? Test Analysis Conclusions

Test Analysis Conclusions

Conclusions 1. Positional Accuracy = Approx. 15-20m 2. Length Calculation: 20 sec was most accurate 3. Speed Calculation: 30 & 60 sec 4. Start & End: 10 & 20 sec – 1 sec good accuracy & high uncertainty 5. Around 20 or 30 sec is most appropriate for pedestrian route modelling Background Why? Test Analysis Conclusions
