coverage increases. We further evaluated the impact of some TMC-Pattern vectors
such as time period and residence mode during location prediction.
We performed this analysis by ignoring each of the aforementioned vectors dur-
ing the prediction of a user’s next location. Figure 12.13 illustrates this result that
shows the cumulative probability of successful prediction for different observations.
The gure illustrates that the TMC-Pattern score from the residence mode and time
period are more important than those from the other vectors.
Besides, since lots of raw GPS points that are nor ...
