Pedestrian network information plays an important role in pedestrian location based service (LBS), and its completeness determines the quality of a pedestrian LBS. This study used volunteered data and BaiduMap to research how to extract pedestrian network information on the basis of pedestrian GPS trajectories. The method extracts human road information by three steps: cleaning track data, extracting the road network, and detecting and analysing the recognised pedestrian road facilities. Once the road network information is extracted, the information regarding road facilities can be obtained, e.g., pedestrian crossings, overpasses, and underground passages. This paper describes a new method for incrementally updating electronic maps.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> With the gradual opening of floating car trajectory data, it is possible to extract road network information from it. Currently, most road network extraction algorithms use unified thresholds to ignore the density difference of trajectory data, and only consider the trajectory shape without considering the direction of the trajectory, which seriously affects the geometric precision and topological accuracy of their results. Therefore, an adaptive radius centroid drift clustering method is proposed in this paper, which can automatically adjust clustering parameters according to the track density and the road width, using trajectory direction to complete the topological connection of roads. The algorithm is verified by the floating car trajectory data of a day in Futian District, Shenzhen. The experimental results are qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed with ones of the other two methods. It indicates that the road network data extracted by this algorithm has a significant improvement in geometric precision and topological accuracy, and which is suitable for big data processing.</p>

Multiple-target tracking algorithms generally operate in the local frame of the sensor and have difficulty with track reallocation when targets move in and out of the sensor field-of-view. This poses a problem when an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is tracking multiple ground targets on a road network larger than its field-of-view. To address this problem, we propose a Rao-Blackwellized Particle Filter (RBPF) to maintain individual target tracks and to perform probabilistic data association when the targets are constrained to a road network. This is particularly useful when a target leaves and then re-enters the UAV’s field-of-view. The RBPF is structured as a particle filter of particle filters. The top level filter handles data association and each of its particles maintains a bank of particle filters to handle target tracking. The tracking particle filters incorporate both positive and negative information when a measurement is received. We implement two path planning controllers, receding horizon and deep reinforcement learning, and compare their ability to improve the certainty for multiple target location estimates. The controllers prioritize paths that reduce each target’s entropy. In addition, we develop an algorithm that computes the upper bound on the filter’s performance, thus facilitating an estimate of the number of UAVs needed to achieve a desired performance threshold.
