This monograph presents a simple, innovative approach for the measurement and short-term prediction of highway travel times based on the fusion of inductive loop detector and toll ticket data. The methodology is generic and not technologically captive, allowing it to be easily generalized for other equivalent types of data. The book shows how Bayesian analysis can be used to obtain fused estimates that are more reliable than the original inputs, overcoming some of the drawbacks of travel-time estimations based on unique data sources. The developed methodology adds value and obtains the maximum (in terms of travel time estimation) from the available data, without recurrent and costly requirements for additional data. The application of the algorithms to empirical testing in the AP-7 toll highway in Barcelona proves that it is possible to develop an accurate real-time, travel-time information system on closed-toll highways with the existing surveillance equipment, suggesting that highway operators might provide their customers with such an added value with little additional investment in technology.

Although interest in spatial regression models has surged in recent years, a comprehensive, up-to-date text on these approaches does not exist. Filling this void, Introduction to Spatial Econometrics presents a variety of regression methods used to analyze spatial data samples that violate the traditional assumption of independence between observat

This book deals with new research in the fields of passenger and freight transportation modes: policy analysis, formulation and evaluation; planning; interaction with the political, socioeconomic and physical environment; design, management and evaluation of transportation systems.

This two-volume set LNCS 11446 and LNCS 11447 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Database Systems for Advanced Applications, DASFAA 2019, held in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in April 2019. The 92 full papers and 64 short papers were carefully selected from a total of 501 submissions. In addition, 13 demo papers and 6 tutorial papers are included. The full papers are organized in the following topics: big data; clustering and classification; crowdsourcing; data integration; embedding; graphs; knowledge graph; machine learning; privacy and graph; recommendation; social network; spatial; and spatio-temporal. The short papers, demo papers, and tutorial papers can be found in the volume LNCS 11448, which also includes the workshops of DASFAA 2019.
