Abstract

Trajectory data is rich in dimensionality, often containing valuable patterns in more than just the spatial and temporal dimensions. Yet existing trajectory clustering techniques only consider a fixed number of dimensions. We propose a general trajectory clustering methodology which can detect clusters using any arbitrary number of the n-dimensions available in the data. To exemplify our methodology we apply it an existing trajectory clustering approach, TRACLUS, to create the so-called, ND-TRACLUS. Furthermore, in order to better describe the trajectory clusters uncovered when clustering arbitrary dimensions we also introduce, Retraspam, a novel algorithm for n-dimensional representative trajectory formulation. We qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate both our methodology and Retraspam using two real world datasets and find valuable, previously unknown higher dimensional trajectory patterns.
