Public-Transportation-Assisted Data Delivery Scheme in Vehicular Delay Tolerant Networks by Yong Feng, Ke Liu, Qian Qian, Feng Wang, Xiaodong Fu

“…In this paper, we firstly present a destination-gathering-based driving path prediction method for taxis, which can make taxis' driving paths prescient in the initial stage of carrying passengers every time. Compared with ordinary vehicles, public transportation vehicles have such features as long time running on roads and no privacy-protection need, and thus their trajectories can be opened. …”
