Abstract
The analysis and study of the relationship between a geo-spatial event and human mobility in an urban area is very significant for improving productivity, mobility, and safety. In particular, in order to alleviate serious road congestions, traffic jams, and stampedes, it is essential to predict and be informed about the occurrence of an event as soon as possible. When we know an event occurrence in advance, some of those who are not interested in the event might change their plans and/or might take a detour to avoid to get involved in a heavy congestion. In this context, this paper presents an early event detection technique using GPS trajectories collected from periodic-cars, which are vehicles periodically traveling on a pre-scheduled route with a pre-determined departure time, such as a transit bus, shuttle, garbage truck, or municipal patrol car. Using these trajectories, which provide the real-time and continuous traffic flow and speed, our technique detects large-scale events in advance, without incurring any privacy invasion. The behavior of periodic-cars shows a certain sign of a large-scale event before attendees gather around a venue because traffic can be slowed around the venue before the event occurrence. We evaluated our method using over 7,000-bus data from January to May in 2015 in Beijing, which we compared with the check-in data collected from a social network service.
