In this paper we present V-tracer, a vehicular trace generator aimed at generating realistic data about mobility of vehicles, as well as their daily operation and wear. The objectives of our approach are two: first, gathering real traces obtained by in-vehicle on-board units (OBUs), and second, as the first target is hard to achieve, generating synthetic data. The final goal will be getting all the information that would be very useful to infer and predict vehicle failures. The traces provided by our generator may be used to perform the predictive maintenance of vehicles in the near future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
