- GPS tracking data is an essential resource for analyzing human travel patterns and evaluating the effects on transportation systems. The primary challenge, however, is to accurately identify the modes of transportation within unlabeled GPS data. These approaches range from simple rule-based systems to advanced machine-learning techniques. This dissertation aims to bridge this gap by examining the critical features and techniques of these methods and proposing a novel approach for detecting transportation modes in GPS tracking data. To achieve this goal, a comprehensive understanding of individual journeys is crucial. Thus, this research adopts a microdata analytic approach, encompassing data collection, processing, analysis, and decision-making stages. Doing so contributes to advancing human mobility research and transportation mode detection. Paper I undertook a systematic review of transport mode detection methodologies to fill the research gap, emphasizing the predominance of supervised learning algorithms and highlighting the need for further research to address the limitations of small datasets. Paper II introduced a stepwise methodology, integrating unsupervised learning, GIS, and supervised algorithms to detect transport modes while minimizing reliance on labelled data. The Random Forest algorithm emerged as a precise but time-intensive solution. Paper III showcased a novel approach to transport mode detection using deep learning models, outperforming traditional machine learning methods. This paper signals the potential of deep learning in the field and demonstrates the importance of raw GPS data in enhancing accuracy. Paper V addressed the challenge of predicting human mobility patterns under the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) framework, highlighting the applicability of HMMs to understanding and predicting complex mobility behaviour. This paper emphasized the need for GPS tracking data in developing advanced mobility models. Paper IV ventured into hybrid methodology by combining K-means clustering with the ANP-PSO algorithm to enhance transportation mode classification. This pioneering approach improved classification accuracy while reducing dependence on labelled datasets. Collectively, these papers underscore the opportunities and limitations in human mobility research, offering insights into future directions for mitigating data quality issues and improving the accuracy of transportation mode detection. These innovative methodologies have practical implications for transportation planning, resource allocation, and intelligent transportation system development, ultimately shaping the future of transportation research and decision-making. Standardized data collection, processing, and labelling methods are crucial and need attention in future research. Future research can focus on developing such benchmarks and validation protocols to enhance the reliability and comparability of results.
