Abstract

Accurate identification of transportation mode distribution is essential for effective urban planning. Recent advancements in machine learning have spurred research on automated Transportation Mode Detection (TMD). While existing TMD methods predominantly employ standard flat classification methods, this paper introduces HiClass4MD, a novel hierarchical approach. By leveraging the misclassification errors from standard flat classifier, HiClass4MD learns the class hierarchy for transportation modes. Although hierarchical metrics initially indicated performance improvements when applied to real-world GPS trajectories dataset, a subsequent evaluation using conventional metrics revealed inconsistent results. While decision trees benefited marginally, other classifiers exhibited no significant gains or even degraded. This study highlights the complexity of applying hierarchical classification to TMD and underscores the need for further investigation into the factors influencing its effectiveness.
