| Abstract | This paper describes a pedestrian population trend estimation method using location data of smartphone users. This technique is intended to be an alternative to traffic censuses using tally counters. Traffic censuses using tally counters are still commonly used to survey the number of pedestrians despite their cost and limitations in area and time. The proposed approach can replace the traffic census by using smartphone users' location data accumulated on Yahoo! Japan. Moreover, it is low cost because it uses location data collaterally acquired from smartphone users, and it has no limits in terms of area or time. This means pedestrian population trends in arbitrary and times about which we want to know can be estimated. The proposed technique is based on the assumption that the number of location data in an area is proportional to the population volume, but it also eliminates some data to increase pedestrian accuracy. In the elimination step, some location data that should not be counted as pedestrians are excluded by estimating transport modes from anteroposterior location data. The supplement step tackles the problem of data shortage when a target area is a small region by using a Gaussian kernel. The Gaussian kernel smoother is also used to deal with data interpolation in the time direction, and it enables us to estimate time-continuous pedestrian volumes in arbitrary areas. To evaluate the approach, a manual traffic survey was conducted in five areas on 11 days and the ground truth data are acquired. Experimental result shows the approach successfully estimate pedestrian population trends in areas. The proposed method makes less than one-tenth the mean squared errors of hourly pedestrian number estimation than the conventional approach. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
