Trajectory Data Mining and Trip Travel Time Prediction on Specific Roads
This work addresses route planning for navigation applications in Pakistan, where road conditions differ from international data, but it is incremental as it applies existing methods to new data.
The paper tackled travel time prediction on specific roads in Pakistan by mining trajectory data and applying existing neural network methods, achieving an average prediction error of 30 seconds to 1.2 minutes for trips lasting 10 to 60 minutes on six frequent routes in Islamabad.
Predicting a trip's travel time is essential for route planning and navigation applications. The majority of research is based on international data that does not apply to Pakistan's road conditions. We designed a complete pipeline for mining trajectories from sensors data. On this data, we employed state-of-the-art approaches, including a shallow artificial neural network, a deep multi-layered perceptron, and a long-short-term memory, to explore the issue of travel time prediction on frequent routes. The experimental results demonstrate an average prediction error ranging from 30 seconds to 1.2 minutes on trips lasting 10 minutes to 60 minutes on six most frequent routes in regions of Islamabad, Pakistan.
