Noisy GPS Data
• To become useful, GPS data has to be related to the underlying
infrastructure (e.g., road or rail network) by means of map
matching algorithms, which are often computationally expensive
• In addition, GPS data is sampled at irregular possibly large time
intervals, which requires advanced analytics to reconstruct with
high probability GPS trajectories
• Finally, GPS data is not accurate and often needs to be cleaned
to remove erroneous observations.

Actuating the city
• Real-time, proactive traffic control!
• Traffic control recommender!
• Recommend actions under uncertainty!
• Dynamic traffic light actuation strategy
• Traffic Management Towards a Low Carbon Society!
• Traffic (congestion) is a significant contributor to CO2 emissions!
• We are building a method, system and tools for adaptively
influencing traffic in real-time to reduce carbon dioxide CO2-
and black carbon (BC) emissions caused by road transport in
urban and inter-urban areas.!

Regional partitioning based on level of interaction
Findings
• Spatial cohesiveness of regions
! State boundaries emerge in most of
the cases
! Metropolitan areas (e.g. NYC, LA)
define new regions
! Some states merge as level of
interaction is higher than expected
Applications
! Help regional and city provides to
better plan or adjust their operations
! Adjust service catchment areas
(e.g. hospital serviced neighbors)
! Plan new transit systems to help
connecting areas with low
interaction

Summary
• In order to make city’s services more efficient we need to understand how
people use the city infrastructure!
• Pervasive technologies datasets allow to infer micro and macro behaviors of
a population!
• Inferred demand patterns can be used to make services more adaptive and
efficient!
