This project involves applying advanced machine learning models to big vehicle telematics data. Trip chaining means linking a sequence of trips by a vehicle into a “tour” (e.g. a truck departs depot, then makes pick-up/drop-off, then take rest and/or return to depot). GPS data allows the trip chains to be reconstructed and analysed for providing insights. For example, by using GPS traces, the origin and destination of trucks can be inferred without relying only on costly manual surveys. Trip chains also help identify successive stops, link them, and thus understand entire tours rather than isolated single trips.
