Title: Urban data analysis: Travel time estimation in real time, Prof. Dimitrios Gunopulos, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens

Abstract:
Trajectory data collected from GPS-enabled mobile devices or vehicles are widely used in urban planning, traffic management, and location based services. Due to power and bandwidth limitations on such devices devices collecting dense trajectories in real time is usually deemed too costly. However applications in traffic management typically requiredense trajectories with rich spatial and temporal real-time knowledge. We consider several problems that come up inapplications that exploit trajectory data, including the Problems of map completion and traffic pattern disccovery. We focus on the problem of travel time estimation in real time: The goal here is to predict the travel time of a vehicle from a start to a destination point taking into account the current traffic conditions.
