Mapping county-level mobility pattern changes in the United States in response to COVID-19

Song Gao, Jinmeng Rao, Yuhao Kang et al. · 5 Jun 2020

To contain the COVID-19 epidemic, one of the non-pharmacological epidemic control measures is reducing the transmission rate of SARS-COV-2 in the population through social distancing. An interactive web-based mapping platform that provides timely quantitative information on how people in different counties and states reacted to the social distancing guidelines was developed by the GeoDS Lab…

Trajectory similarity measures

Kevin Toohey, Matt Duckham · 20 May 2015

Storing, querying, and analyzing trajectories is becoming increasingly important, as the availability and volumes of trajectory data increases. One important class of trajectory analysis is computing trajectory similarity. This paper introduces and compares four of the most common measures of trajectory similarity: longest common subsequence (LCSS), Fréchet distance, dynamic time warping (DTW), and edit distance.…

Detecting geographical references in the form of place names and associated spatial natural language

Jochen L. Leidner, Michael D. Lieberman · 1 Jul 2011

Recognizing spatial language in text documents, termed geoparsing , is useful for many applications, because together with mapping such language to lat/long values, also known as geocoding , it enables the connection of the unstructured textual realm with the structured realm of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) [11]. For example, news stories about events happening in…

Mapping county-level mobility pattern changes in the United States in response to COVID-19

Song Gao, Jinmeng Rao, Yuhao Kang et al. · 3 Jun 2020

To contain the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, one of the non-pharmacological epidemic control measures in response to the COVID-19 outbreak is reducing the transmission rate of SARS-COV-2 in the population through (physical) social distancing. An interactive web-based mapping platform that provides timely quantitative information on how people in different counties and states reacted to the…

A brief overview of machine learning methods for short-term traffic forecasting and future directions

Yaguang Li, Cyrus Shahabi · 5 Jun 2018

Short-term traffic forecasting is a vital part of intelligent transportation systems. Recently, the combination of unprecedented data availability and the repaid development of machine learning techniques have brought on immense advancement in this field. In this paper, we aim to provide a brief overview of machine learning approaches for short-term traffic forecasting to facilitate research…
