Comment

Highest proportion of tracks with correctly identified number of stops. depending on parameter value

65.5%

Obtained with 1000 m radius

92.3%

Obtained with 200 m bandwidth

Number of noise/parameter combinations for which detection correctly identifies three stops for at least 70% of tracks (out of 24 combinations)

3

Performance sharply decreasing with increasing noise; best combination yields 75.6% of correct identification of three-stop tracks

15

10 out of these 15 successfull combinations with correct detection of 90% or more of three-stop tracks

Number of correctly identified stops among tracks with close (<800 m) neighbours

132

Larger radii=better prediction

194

Inversed U-shaped relation to bandwidth: best capacity with ‘average’ bandwidth of 200 m

Number of noise/parameter combinations for which the average number of detected stops is around 3 (2.8<average<3.2)

6

10 noise/parameter combinations for which average=zero

15

2 noise/parameter combinations for which average=zero

Number of noise/parameter combinations for which distance between detected and true stop is less than 15 m in average (out of 24 combinations)

8

Standard-errors larger in AFT than in AKD for all combinations

17

11 combinations with less than 10 m in average

Number of noise/parameter combinations with duration difference between detected and true stop less than 10% error

11

AKD outperforms AFT for 16 out of 24 combinations

16

Duration difference below 5% for 200 m bandwidth at all noise levels
