Sensors, Vol. 19, Pages 2812: Understanding Collective Human Mobility Spatiotemporal Patterns on Weekdays from Taxi Origin-Destination Point Data (Sensors)
 


With the availability of large geospatial datasets, the study of collective human mobility spatiotemporal patterns provides a new way to explore urban spatial environments from the perspective of residents. In this paper, we constructed a classification model for mobility patterns that is suitable for taxi OD (Origin-Destination) point data, and it is comprised of three parts. First, a new aggregate unit, which uses a road intersection as the constraint condition, is designed for the analysis of the taxi OD point data. Second, the time series similarity measurement is improved by adding a normalization procedure and time windows to address the particular characteristics of the taxi time series data. Finally, the DBSCAN algorithm is used to classify the time series into different mobility patterns based on a proximity index that is calculated using the improved similarity measurement. In addition, we used the random forest algorithm to establish a correlation model between the mobility patterns and the regional functional characteristics. Based on the taxi OD point data from Nanjing, we delimited seven mobility patterns and illustrated that the regional functions have obvious driving effects on these mobility patterns. These findings are applicable to urban planning, traffic management and planning, and land use analyses in the future.
