Owing to the widespread use of GPS-enabled devices, sensing road information from vehicle trajectories is becoming an attractive method for road map construction and update. Although the detection of intersections is critical for generating road networks, it is still a challenging task. Traditional approaches detect intersections by identifying turning points based on the heading changes.

Effectively assessing the flood risk contributes to reducing loss caused by such disasters. In this study, the weighted naïve Bayes (WNB) method was selected to evaluate flood risk, and the entropy weight method was employed to compute the weights.
