Its importance will only increase as urbanization continues around the world. In this paper, we explore drivers\u2019 refueling behavior in urban areas. Compared to questionnaire-based methods of the past, we propose a complete data-driven system that pushes towards real-time sensing of individual refueling behavior and citywide petrol consumption. Our system provides the following: detection of individual refueling events from which refueling preference can be analyzed; estimates of gas station wait times from which recommendations can be made; an indication of overall fuel demand, from which macro-scale economic decisions can be made, and a spatial, temporal and economic view of urban refueling characteristics. For individual behavior, we use reported trajectories from a fleet of GPS-equipped taxicabs to detect gas station visits. For time spent estimates, to solve the sparsity issue along time and stations, we propose CATF (context-aware tensor factorization), a factorization model that considers a variety of contextual factors (e.g., price, brand and weather condition) that affect consumers\u2019 refueling decision. For fuel demand estimates, we apply a queue model to calculate the overall visits based on the time spent inside the station. We evaluated our system on large-scale and real-world datasets, which contain four-month trajectories of 32,476 taxicabs, 689 gas stations, and the self-reported refueling details of 8,326 online users. The results show our system can determine refueling events with an accuracy of more than 90%, estimate time spent with less than-2-minutes of error, and measure overall visits in the same order of magnitude with the records in the field study.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .asset-content --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Urban transportation is an important factor in energy consumption and pollution, and is of increasing concern due to its complexity and economic significance.
