A user centric mobility prediction approach based on spatial conceptual maps
Nancy Samaan, A. Karmouch · 2005
This paper presents a novel framework for user mobility prediction that can accurately predict the traveling trajectory and destination using knowledge of user's preferences, goals, and analyzed spatial information without imposing any assumptions about the availability of users' movements history. Using concepts of evidential reasoning of Dempster-Shafer's theory, the user's navigation behavior is captured by gathering pieces of evidence concerning different groups of candidate future locations. These groups are then refined to predict the user's future location when evidence accumulate using Dempster rule of combination. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed framework.
