Travel-mode classification based on GPS-trajectory data and geographic information using an XGBoost classifier
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Massive Global Positioning System (GPS) trajectory datasets are being produced owing to the advances in mobile sensors, the Internet, and GPS devices. Accurately inferring travel modes from GPS trajectory data can be helpful in transportation planning and modeling, infrastructure design, etc. However, adverse factors such as data noise, differences in sampling rate, and inadequate features have a negative impact on the results of travel mode classification. In this paper, to address such issues, we first propose a preprocessing workflow, which includes data cleaning, segmentation, and resampling, to preprocess raw trajectories. Then, we add new features related to the road and bus stop information for travel mode classification using an XGBoost (eXtreme Gradient Boosting) classifier, along with various basic features of the trajectories. We conducted a set of experiments on the GeoLife dataset using a group of state-of-the-art methods. The results showed that the proposed methods can improve the classification accuracy by using all the classifiers we compared and the classification accuracy using the XGBoost classifier can reach a maximum of 90.41%.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
