introduction
 Smartphones are becoming increasingly popular day-by-day.
 The use of smartphones, however, can be extended from the usual
telecommunication field to applications in other specialized fields
including transportation.
 Transportation planners, policymakers, state departments of
transportation, metropolitan planning organisations, industry
professionals and academic researchers use survey data to better
understand the current demand and performance of the transportation
infrastructure, and to plan in preparation for future growth.
 Sensors embedded in the smartphones like GPS, accelerometer and
gyroscope can collect data passively, which in turn can be processed to
infer the travel mode of the smartphone user.
 This project is focused toward investigating the use of GPS and
accelerometer sensor to detect mode of travel in Allahabad City.
OBJECTIVES
Followings are the objectives of the project:
 To develop the GIS database of collected data.
 To filter the collected data using filtering technique.
 To prepare the method to classify the travel mode
using ANN.
METHODOLOGY
1. Data collection using smart phones with the help of Next GIS
Logger app.
2. Development of GIS database using QGIS software for
visualization of the spatial data.
3. Filtering technique will be used to filter the noises from the
collected data in MATLAB to increase the accuracy of data.
4. ANN techniques will be used on filtering data on the basis of
acceleration and speed to classify the travel mode.
5. Validation of method will be done to ensure it’s applicability.

 Collected data has been separated in MS-Excel using Text to

Column Technique.
 This sorted data file is used as input in Q-GIS as .csv file to
produce shape file.
 Filtering of noises from raw data has been carried out using a
developed program in MATLAB.
 Program uses the FIR Low Pass Filtering technique to filter the
data.

 Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Model

The training of three layered feed-forward neural network with varying

number of neurons in hidden layer was performed using MATLAB neural net
toolbox called (nntool).

Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm (LMA) is used to solve non-linear least squares

problems.
 The results for the accuracy of collected dataset are given below.

Table 1: Accuracy Assessment of the dataset

S.NO MODE OF TRANSPORTATION AVERAGE ACCURACY PER MODE

1. AUTO 81.48

2. CAR 84.74

3. BUS 78.35

Table 1 shows the accuracy achieved for each individual mode of transportation.
For car highest overall mode detection accuracy is 84.74 percent. These results
are important since they demonstrate that bus trips are suffering from the
highest number of false classifications as 21.65 percent.
CONCLUSIO
NS
 Research study for travel mode detection using smart phone has not been
carried out in prevailing roadway and traffic condition in India.
 It is found that longer monitoring duration and higher sampling frequency
result in higher travel mode detection rates.
 Proposed methodology can be suitably used to detect mode with
satisfactory level of accuracy.
 Quantum of data set effects the accuracy of mode detection.
