Traffic simulation using web information of activities location
Songhang Chen, Fenghua Zhu · 2012
Information of Activities location is critical for traffic simulation based on activity. To replace time-consuming manual acquisition, this paper proposes an information extraction method based on ontology and frequent subtree to acquire place-related information from the Web automatically. A destination selection model based on Nested Logit is established to use this information in traffic simulation. To verify the method and model, information of places within Zhongguancun area is acquired from the Web, and then experiments with uniform design are carried out on artificial transportation systems and regression analysis is done.
