Applying GPS Data to Understand Travel Behavior, Volume I: Background, Methods, and Tests

With the high costs associated with primary data collection, methods to improve the use and accessibility of newer sources of data such as Global Positioning System (GPS) data can benefit many transportation practitioners. GPS data can have multiple uses beyond traditional applications such as estimates of speed and travel times. GPS-related data that have been collected from automatic vehicle location systems, from highway sensors, as supplemental information to traditional travel surveys, and via passive technologies [e.g., Bluetooth, radio frequency identification (RFID), and smartphones] have shown promise for additional planning purposes. Some challenges to increased use of GPS data include addressing data bias; balancing precision, coverage, and confidentiality; resolving institutional issues such as data ownership; and addressing the complexity of combining these data with other sources to discern behavioral relationships. This report provides guidelines on the use of multiple sources of GPS data to understand travel behavior and activity. The guidelines are intended to provide a jump-start for processing GPS data for travel behavior purposes and provide key information elements that practitioners should consider when using GPS data. The report is structured in two volumes. Volume 1 presents the methods used and results of tests conducted. Volume II translates the results of the tests conducted into guidelines for planners and researchers to implement these procedures.
Minimum Error Bounded Efficient L1 Tracker with Occlusion Detection (PREPRINT)

Abstract : Recently, sparse representation has been applied to visual tracking to find the target with the minimum reconstruction error from the target template subspace. Though effective, these L1 trackers require high computational costs due to numerous calculations for L1 minimization. In addition the inherent occlusion insensitivity of the L1 minimization has not been fully utilized. In this paper, we propose an efficient L1 tracker with minimum error bound and occlusion detection which we call Bounded Particle Resampling (BPR)-L1 tracker. First, the minimum error bound is quickly calculated from a linear least squares equation, and serves as a guide for particle resampling in a particle filter framework. Without loss of precision during resampling, most insignificant samples are removed before solving the computationally expensive `1 minimization function. The BPR technique enables us to speed up the L1 tracker without sacrificing accuracy. Second, we perform occlusion detection by investigating the trivial coefficients in the `1 minimization. These coefficients, by design, contain rich information about image corruptions including occlusion. Detected occlusions enhance the template updates to effectively reduce the drifting problem. The proposed method shows good performance as compared with several state-of-the-art trackers on challenging benchmark sequences.

Investigation of novel high-amplitude oscillations in skin blood flow

Regulation of skin blood flow (Qsk) is vital to homeostasis, with adjustments to flow in response to important sympathetic thermal and non-thermal reflexes and by other factors which remain to be fully determined, but include local regulatory mechanisms (i.e. axon reflexes, release of endothelial vasoactive substances etc.). Laser-Doppler flowmetry is a well-known technique, used for assessing microvascular function, with raw QSk traces displaying marked variability, which is in part due to the above mechanisms, but also results from passive influences (i.e. oscillations in pressure resulting from cardiac frequency (fc) or respiration (/"-,), alterations to local transmural pressure and turbulences in flow due to vessel structure and or the viscosity of blood). The central focus of this dissertation was an investigation and characterisation of an apparently hidden, novel Qsk phenomenon, which has not been previously reported in the literature, possibly due to traditional data processing techniques. This phenomenon encompasses high-amplitude oscillations in QSk which were detected using laser-Doppler flowmetry in human and rat QSk, which have a characteristic frequency of -0.4 Hz, spanning -1000 ms, and consist of high-amplitude peaks, accounting for up to a seven-fold increase of basal QSkExperiments presented within this thesis confirm the biological nature of these oscillations, which are present in both acral and non-acral skin regions. These oscillations, increase significantly with increases in local and mean skin temperature (TSk; humans and rats Qsk; P<0.05) and may occur independently of core temperature. Further, these oscillations appear to be unaffected by global changes in mean arterial pressure within the normotensive range (P>0.05). Local application of anaesthetic (i.e. to remove vessel tone) attenuated these oscillations in response to whole-body heating. However, propranolol treatment (80mg; orally) produced no significant differences in the characteristics of these oscillations (P>0.05), despite producing a significant reduction in/c (~ 10 b-min" ; P<0.05). Differences in baroreceptor loading between a supine and seated posture (as reflected by a significant increase in fc of 10 b-min" 1 in the seated posture; P<0.05) produced no differences in the frequency of the high-amplitude oscillations at the forearm when recorded at heart level (~ 0.4 Hz). However, measurements at the thigh in the seated posture, displayed a significant decrease in the frequency of these oscillations (reduction of
Normative data on selected neuropsychological measures from a nonclinical sample

Normative neuropsychological data are provided from a sample of 365, recruited from a nonclinical population. The sample was divided evenly between males and females, although males were somewhat overly represented in the youngest group, and females were somewhat overly represented in the oldest group. The measures included the Trail Making Test, Seashore Rhythm Test, Finger Tapping, Grooved Pegboard, and Dynamometer. The limited number of measures was a result of the time available to study each subject. Normative data were stratified by sex, age, and educational level. The present data were discussed in relationship to previous normative studies and also in the context of the need for additional normative studies.
Leveraging multimodal redundancy for dynamic learning, with SHACER, a speech and handwriting recognizer

Abstract : New language constantly emerges from complex, collaborative human-human interactions like meetings such as when a presenter handwrites a new term on a whiteboard while saying it redundantly. Fixed vocabulary recognizers fail on such new terms, which often are critical to dialogue understanding. This dissertation presents SHACER, our Speech and HAndwriting reCoginzER (pronounced shaker). SHACER learns out-of-vocabulary terms dynamically by integrating information from instances of redundant handwriting and speaking. SHACER can automatically populate an MS Project TM Gantt Chart by observing a whiteboard scheduling meeting. To document the occurrence and importance of such multimodal redundancy, we examine (1) whiteboard presentations, (2) a spontaneous brainstorming meeting, and (3) informal annotation discussions about travel photographs. Averaged across these three contexts 96.5% of handwritten words were also spoken redundantly. We also find that redundantly presented terms are (a) highly topic specific and thus likely to be out-of-vocabulary, (b) more memorable, and (c) significantly better query terms for later search and retrieval. To combine information SHACER normalizes handwriting and speech recognizer out- puts by applying letter-to-sound and sound-to-letter transformations. SHACER then uses an articulatory-feature based distance metric to align handwriting to redundant speech. Phone sequence information from that aligned segment then constrains a second pass phone recognition over cached speech features. The resulting refined pronunciation serves as a measure against which the integration of all orthographic and pronunciation hypotheses is scored. High-scoring integrations are enrolled in the system's dictionaries and reinforcement tables. When a presenter subsequently says a newly enrolled term it is more easily recognized.

Les propriétés adhésives et rhéologie interfaciale de mortiers colles

Les mortiers colles se composent essentiellement de ciment, de sable, de charges minerales et d'une variete d'additifs (ethers de cellulose, entrainant d'air, latex) et sont utilises pour coller des carreaux ceramique (et d'autres pieces comme la pierre, le verre, etc.) aux substrats. Ils sont generalement appliques dans une grande surface sur le substrat sous la forme de nervures sur lesquelles les carreaux sont mis. Afin d'obtenir une bonne performance, il est important que les proprietes rheologiques du mortier permettent un bon contact entre les carrelages, meme apres plusieurs minutes (temps ouvert) d'exposition aux conditions ambiantes, soit a l'interieur soit a l'exterieur des bâtiments. A cet effet, il est necessaire d'eviter la formation d'une couche rigide et/ou seche a l'interface mortier-air, qui peut etre difficile a deformer ou a humidifier correctement la surface de la dalle. Comme le contact initial entre le mortier et le carrelage est la premiere etape pour le developpement des proprietes adhesives entre les materiaux, une bonne comprehension de l'evolution des proprietes rheologiques a l'interface air-mortier est d'une grande importance pour les producteurs de mortier et les utilisateurs. Dans ce contexte, cette these a d'abord developpe des methodes d'evaluation des proprietes interfaciales et une technique microscopique pour visualiser le contact. Ensuite, ces techniques combinees a des essais de tack test/ squeeze et a des procedes rheologiques deja existants peuvent etre utilise pour evaluer comment des additifs polymeres tels que l'ether de cellulose influent sur les proprietes rheologiques du mortier adhesif dans le volume et a l'interface pour mieux comprendre les proprietes adhesives. Et enfin, avec l'utilisation de la RMN, ces proprietes pourraient etre correlees avec l'evolution de la distribution de l'eau.

Real-Time Million-Synapse Simulation of Cortical Tissue

The nervous system may be simulated as a network of model neurons as a means to understand the function of the brain. Complex as the mammalian nervous system is, such simulations of any significant scale are computationally and energetically expensive. SpiNNaker is a computer architecture designed to advance the feasible scale of neural tissue models using fifty thousand chips, each containing eighteen low-power processors, to model one billion neurons and one trillion synapses in real-time. This dissertation demonstrates the success of prototype hardware with detailed models of the rodent somatosensory cortex. Simulations are built from neuroanatomical data on a host computer using a simple declarative library of functions, and are executed on SpiNNaker atop an event-driven programming interface that neatly abstracts the intricate details of the machine. Comparisons with reference simulators show that SpiNNaker correctly reproduces established results, and power readings report that each chip draws just one watt during execution. A model of the whisker barrel, derived from the literature, exhibits key responses to simulated stimuli, and a model of the wider barrel cortex, comprising 10^5 neurons and 7*10^7 synapses, demonstrates real-time, massively parallel simulation across 360 processors on 23 chips. Ultimately, SpiNNaker is shown to be an effective architecture for the correct and efficient simulation of neural tissue.
On IPv6 Experimentation in Wireless Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

With the growing interest towards the Internet of Things IPv6-based mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) become a key enabling technology offering the possibility of automated, unsupervised network configuration and operation. Such a functionality calls for an accurate and reliable testing of the newly proposed solutions, which is challenging due to the dynamic, decentralized and ad hoc nature of MANETs. In this work selected topics are presented on performing IPv6 protocols experimentation in wireless, IPv6-only mobile ad hoc networks – including both simulation – and testbed-based evaluation. Based on the authors experience with the evaluation of the extended IPv6 Neighbor Discovery protocol (ND++) proposed during the course of research, the selection of an opensource simulation environment is presented and a comparison between simulation and emulation experimentation methods is provided. Benefits and drawbacks of both these methodologies for testing IPv6 solutions are depicted. Moreover, the important aspects of topology and mobility considerations are considered. Finally the authors propose a testing approach that would allow for a detailed and accurate evaluation by means of open-source, easily accessible and low-cost method-
Does Diagnostic Math Testing Improve Student Learning

California, like all other states, has adopted a sweeping school accountability system that features annual testing of students. The main state test, the California Standards Test (CST), serves multiple goals, the foremost of which is to measure student proficiency and to determine whether schools receive interventions and sanctions set out in the federal No Child Left Behind law. There is another type of test, freely available to middle and high school math teachers throughout California, which holds two key advantages over the CST math tests. The Mathematics Diagnostic Testing Project (MDTP) offers course-specific assessments that provide teachers with timely feedback on their students' strengths and weaknesses in mathematics, often returning feedback to teachers on individual students and the entire class within a week of testing. In this way, teachers can quickly act on what they learn about their students' mathematics skills. A second advantage of the MDTP tests is that they provide more detailed feedback about each student's areas of strength and weakness than do the CST mathematics tests. The MDTP attempts to " diagnose " , not just " report. " This study examines the effect of MDTP testing on students' mathematics achievement, using detailed student-level data from the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD), the second largest district in California. The MDTP has in fact been used in two ways in the district. First, many math teachers have voluntarily used the tests for their classes. Second, beginning in 1999–2000, the district began mandating end-of-year testing of all students in certain grades. The goal of this mandatory testing was to help teachers place students in mathematics classes of appropriate difficulty in the following academic year. Schools also used MDTP test results to help identify students who should attend summer school. We examine how both the voluntary use of MDTP tests by individual teachers and mandatory testing by the district affect the math achievement of students. Due to an administrative policy to phase in mandatory MDTP testing over years and grades, we are able to take advantage of a " natural experiment. " We find that mandatory MDTP testing boosts scores on the CST math test enough to move students up several percentile points. For instance, the median student (who ranked at the 50th percentile) in one year rises to somewhere between the 54.6th and the 57th percentile, on average, a year after the district-mandated testing. Compared to other types …
