Vehicle Activity

Knowledge of drivers’ mobility patterns is useful for enabling context-aware intelligent vehicle functionality, such as route suggestions, cabin preconditioning, and power management for electric vehicles. Such patterns are often described in terms of the Points of Interest (PoIs) visited by an individual. However, existing PoI extraction methods are general purpose and typically rely on detecting periods of low mobility, meaning that when they are applied to vehicle data, they often extract a large number of false PoIs (for example, incorrectly extracting PoIs due to stopping in traffic), reducing their usefulness. To reduce the number of false PoIs that are extracted, we propose using features derived from vehicle signals, such as the selected gear and status of doors, to classify candidate PoIs and filter out those that are irrelevant. In this paper, we (i) present Activity-based Vehicle PoI Extraction (AVPE), a wrapper method around existing PoI extraction methods, that utilizes a postclustering classification stage to filter out false PoIs, (ii) evaluate the benefits of AVPE compared to three state-of-the-art general purpose PoI extraction algorithms, and (iii) demonstrate the effectiveness of AVPE when applied to real-world driving data.

The use of fast-freeze fixation (FFF) followed by freeze-substitution (FS) brings substantial advantages which are due to the extreme rapidity of this fixation compared to the conventional one. The initial step, FFF, physically immobilizes most molecules and therefore arrests the biological reactions in a matter of milliseconds. The second step, FS, slowly removes the water content still in solid state and, at the same time, chemically fixes the other cell components in absence of external water. This procedure results in an excellent preservation of the ultrastructure, avoids osmotic artifacts,maintains in situ most soluble substances and keeps up a number of cell activities including antigenicities. Another point of interest is that the rapidity of the initial immobilization enables the capture of unstable structures which, otherwise, would slip towards a more stable state. When combined with electrophysiology, this technique arrests the ultrastructural modifications at a well defined state, allowing a precise timing of the events.We studied the epithelium of the elytra of the scale-worm, Harmothoe lunulata which has excitable, conductible and bioluminescent properties. The intracellular sites of the light emission are paracrystals of endoplasmic reticulum (PER), named photosomes (Fig.1). They are able to flash only when they are coupled with plasma membrane infoldings by dyadic or triadic junctions (Fig.2) basically similar to those of the striated muscle fibers. We have studied them before, during and after stimulation. FFF-FS showed that these complexes are labile structures able to diffentiate and dedifferentiate within milliseconds. Moreover, a transient network of endoplasmic reticulum was captured which we have named intermediate endoplasmic reticulum (IER) surrounding the PER (Fig.1). Numerous gap junctions are found in the membranous infoldings of the junctional complexes (Fig.3). When cryofractured, they cleave unusually (Fig.4-5). It is tempting to suggest that they play an important role in the conduction of the excitation.
