Using supervised learning methods to predict the stop duration of heavy vehicles.

Abstract: In this thesis project, we attempt to predict the stop duration of heavy vehicles using data based on GPS positions collected in a previous project. All of the training and prediction is done in AWS SageMaker, and we explore possibilities with Linear Learner, K-Nearest Neighbors and XGBoost, all of which are explained in this paper. Although we were not able to construct a production-grade model within the time frame of the thesis, we were able to show that the potential for such a model does exist given more time, and propose some suggestions for the paths one can take to improve on the endpoint of this project.
