Abstract: In order to identify the frequent paths in urban traffic, this paper proposes a method of frequent trajectory identification for taxi trajectory data. The method firstly compresses the trajectory data to reduce the computational complexity. Then calculates the trajectory similarity measure based on longest common subsequence and dynamic time warping algorithm, and generates a distance matrix by using the calculated similarity between trajectories. Finally, the generated distance matrix is clustered with HDBSCAN algorithm to get frequent trajectories. Two areas in Xiamen Island are selected for experimental analysis. The results show that the proposed method can identify the frequent trajectories in the trajectory data set and obtain the frequent paths between urban areas, which is helpful for road planning, path optimization and recommendation, traffic management and other applications.
