Overview

Algorithm evaluation demonstrates accurate trajectory imputation in freight transport, indicating enhanced tracking reliability across complex road networks.

Key Points

To develop and evaluate a point-path collaborative imputation framework (PPCIM) that accurately reconstructs missing trajectory segments of long-distance freight vehicles.
Formulated trajectory reconstruction as a joint point-path optimization model combining a Heterogeneous Graph Attention Network (HAN) and a Conditional Generative Adversarial Network (CGAN) with a dual-head discriminator.
Used Soft-DTW on historical records to generate initial imputation points and applied HAN to capture spatiotemporal dependencies and path selection probabilities.
Evaluated the method using Liquefied Petroleum Gas transport data from Foshan, China, and tested generalizability across 29 cities.
Reduced MAE by 80.2% and RMSE by 81.3% compared to conventional two-stage imputation approaches.
Improved path recognition precision by 73.9% and recall by 61.0% across the transport network.
