GIS-based episode reconstruction toolkit (GERT): A transferable, modular, and scalable framework for automated extraction of activity episodes from GPS data

The widespread use of global positioning systems (GPS) has prompted transportation researchers to develop tools and methods to extract information from person-based GPS data. However, most of these procedures suffer from specific data requirements and complexity that limit their transferability. Further, they have a limited set of modules to extract all necessary information (e.g., route attributes), and were not specifically designed to handle …
