A generalized partite-graph method for transportation data association

There are many problems in transportation which involve reconstructing the associations between different entities. For example, data points related to a vehicle from different sensors could be matched to reconstruct the trajectories of vehicles. Or, in population synthesis for microsimulation, lists of persons, dwellings, and vehicles could be generated individually from source data and then matched into synthetic households. There are numerous other examples. The unifying theme is a desire to construct realistic unit-level associations from aggregate or anonymized data. The problem demands a method that is behaviorally consistent and operationally efficient to handle large datasets. We adapt concepts from graph theory to formulate this class of problems as a k-partite graph. This approach is generic and can incorporate expectations of behavior in the form of edge weights. A Dijkstra algorithm based solution is proposed for a subset of k-partite graphs which permits a direct comparison with pair-wise matching and applied to a case study of bicycle tracklets. We then propose an iterative improvement algorithm as a generic method and apply it to a complete k-partite graph in a population synthesis case study. The first case study shows that the k-partite algorithm outperforms the previously used pair-wise matching algorithms. The second case study demonstrates the generality of the proposed algorithm to all k-partite graphs and shows that the generic method is fast and scalable to large problems. As a whole, this paper aims to show that k-partite methods are behaviorally consistent, efficient, and potentially applicable to a wide variety of transportation data association problems.

A new methodology for vehicle trajectory reconstruction based on wavelet analysis

Vehicle trajectories with high spatial and temporal resolution are known as the most ideal source of data for developing innovative microscopic traffic models. Aside from the method applied for collecting the vehicle trajectories, such data are more or less error-infected. The ever-increasing noise amplitude during the process of deriving the data (such as speed and acceleration) required for developing models, might change or even hide the structure of data and lead to useful information being overlooked. This highlights the importance of presenting the efficient methods which are adequate to remove noise and enhance the quality of vehicle trajectory data. Accordingly, in this paper a simple two-step technique based on wavelet analysis has been recommended for filtering errors and reconstructing trajectory data. Primarily, by using wavelet transform a special treatment was employed to identify and modify the outliers. Next, the noise in trajectory data was eliminated by applying the wavelet-based filter. The results of applying the proposed method to the synthetic noise-infected trajectory and the NGSIM dataset reveal how appropriate its performance is compared with other methodologies in terms of quantitative criteria.     

Design of robust-stable and quadratic finite-horizon optimal controllers with low trajectory sensitivity for uncertain active suspension systems

This paper presents a design method for designing the robust-stable and quadratic-finite-horizon-optimal controllers of uncertain active suspension systems. The method integrates a robust stabilisability condition, the orthogonal functions approach (OFA) and the hybrid Taguchi-genetic algorithm (HTGA). Using the integrative computational method, a robust-stable and quadratic-finite-horizon-optimal controller with low-trajectory sensitivity can be obtained such that (i) the active suspension system with elemental parametric uncertainties is stabilised and (ii) a quadratic-finite-horizon-integral performance index including a quadratic trajectory sensitivity term for the nominal active suspension system is minimised. The robust stabilisability condition is proposed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Based on the OFA, an algebraic algorithm only involving the algebraic computation is derived for solving the nominal active suspension feedback dynamic equations. By using the OFA and the LMI-based robust stabilisability condition, the dynamic optimisation problem for the robust-stable and quadratic-finite-horizon-optimal controller design of the linear uncertain active suspension system is transformed into a static-constrained-optimisation problem represented by the algebraic equations with constraint of LMI-based robust stabilisability condition; thus greatly simplifies the design problem. Then, for the static-constrained-optimisation problem, the HTGA is employed to find the robust-stable and quadratic-finite-horizon-optimal controllers of the linear uncertain active suspension systems. A design example is given to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed integrative computational approach.
