Defence: Detection of Transport Operations using Geolocation Data

October 22, 2021Posted inUncategorized
Jorge Tavares concluded his Master's Dissertation entitled “Detection of #transportoperation from #geolocation data”. In this work, a methodology using geolocation data as an input was developed to analyze #businessprocess. The methodology was defined in order to support the management of vehicle-based processes and can be used as a steppingstone to develop a novel process #modeling approach. Congratulations, Jorge!

Today, Jorge Tavares presented the research work “Detection of vehicle-based operations from #geolocation data” at the 24th Euro Working Group on Transportation Meeting - #EWGT2021. In this work, we studied the application of diverse approaches for detecting vehicle-based operations and identified different operations related to the #bus services. The operations were characterized according to the distribution of the events, allowing…

Presentation at the 7th IEEE International Smart Cities Conference

September 8, 2021Posted inConferences
Public opinion is nowadays a valuable data source for many sectors. We analyzed the #transportation sector using messages extracted from #Twitter. Contrasting with the traditional surveying methods that are high-cost and inefficient used in the transportation sector, #socialmedia are popular sources of crowdsensing. We used BERT #embeddings, an unsupervised pre-trained model released in 2018, to classify travel-related terms using tweets collected…

Knowledge-Assisted Visualization of Multi-Level Origin-Destination Flows Using Ontologies

March 1, 2021Posted inPublications
Origin-destination matrices help understand the movement of people within cities. Recently, we published a research work that built upon the premise that different stakeholders need to analyze mobility flows from spatio-temporal perspectives that are appropriate to their context of analysis. Herein we report our findings on building the semantic foundation of knowledge-assisted visualization tools for analyzing OD matrices from multiple…
