- The growing need of acquiring data that is useful for travel behaviour analysis led scientists topursue new ways of obtaining travel diaries from large groups of people. The most promising al-ternative to traditional (declarative) travel diary collection methods are those that rely on collectingtrajectories from individuals and then extract travel diary semantics from the trajectories. However,most studies report on routines specific to the post-processing of data, and seldom focus on datacollection. Even the few studies that deal explicitly with data collection describe the final state ofthe collection system, but do not go at the lengths that are required to describe the decision thatwere taken to bring the system to its current state. This leads to a considerable amount of work thatis needed for designing collection systems that are often undocumented, which impedes the reuseof the aforementioned systems. In light of the aforementioned problems, this paper presents a series of three case studies behind the continuous development of MEILI, a travel diary collection,annotation and automation system, in an effort to: 1) illustrate the utility of the developed systemto collect travel diaries, 2) identify how MEILI and other semi-automatic travel diaries collectionsystems can be improved, and 3) propose MEILI as an open source system that has the potentialof being improved into a widely available semi-automated travel diary collection system.

- The wide adoption of location-enabled devices, together with the acceptance of services that leverage (personal) data as payment, allows scientists to push through some of the previous barriers imposed by data insufficiency, ethics and privacy skepticism. The research problems whose study require hard-to-obtain data (e.g. transportation mode detection, service contextualisation, etc.) have now become more accessible to scientists because of the availability of data collecting outlets. One such problem is the detection of a user's transportation mode. Different fields have approached the problem of transportation mode detection with different aims: Location-Based Services (LBS) is a field that focuses on understanding the transportation mode in real-time, Transportation Science is a field that focuses on measuring the daily travel patterns of individuals or groups of individuals, and Human Geography is a field that focuses on enriching a trajectory by adding domain-specific semantics. While different fields providing solutions to the same problem could be viewed as a positive outcome, it is difficult to compare these solutions because the reported performance indicators depend on the type of approach and its aim (e.g. the real-time availability of LBS requires the performance to be computed on each classified location). The contributions of this paper are three fold. First, the paper reviews the critical aspects desired by each research field when providing solutions to the transportation mode detection problem. Second, it proposes three dimensions that separate three branches of science based on their main interest. Finally, it identifies important gaps in research and future directions, that is, proposing: widely accepted error measures meaningful for all disciplines, methods robust to new data sets and a benchmark data set for performance validation.
