Physical Information Incorporated Clustering Techniques And Their Applications In Transportation Information System, Yang Zhang
Doctoral Dissertations
Massive data from different sources are becoming available in transportation field, and spurring new research on utilizing these data to nurture new intelligent transportation information systems. Clustering algorithms are among the methods that are being applied to the domain but facing challenges. Classical clustering algorithms work fine with \point" based data, which are homogeneous and have no extra constraints. Data in transportation are sometimes involved with specific geometric shapes, have underlying constraints, and can be heterogeneous. There has been no clustering algorithm dedicated to these situations.
In this dissertation, we re-examine the mathematical foundation and underlying philosophy of hierarchical, density …
