Analysis of City Traffic Characteristics from GPS Data

Abstract:

With the city urbanization and increase in the number of motor vehicle, Study of the city traffic pattern from taxi GPS data has become the research hotspot. This paper analyzes two city taxi GPS data; calculate the peak of get-on/off amount, the time span distribution of time dimension. Radius of gyration of spatial dimension. Then analyze the traffic characteristics through these temporal characteristic parameters.
