MTU researchers develop optimization model to fill in the gaps in connected vehicle data

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Michigan Technological University (MTU) have developed a data-driven optimization modeling framework to reconstruct the location-duration-path choices for the missing observations from incomplete data from connected vehicles. For example, connected vehicles provide high-frequency (e.g., s) time and location information.
