Title
On The Use Of Social Trajectory-Based Clustering Methods For Public Transport Optimization
Abstract
Public transport optimisation is becoming everyday a more difficult and challenging task, because of the increasing number of transportation options as well as the increase of users. Many research contributions about this issue have been recently published under the umbrella of the smart cities research. In this work, we sketch a possible framework to optimize the tourist bus in the city of Barcelona. Our framework will extract information from Twitter and other web services, such as Foursquare to infer not only the most visited places in Barcelona, but also the trajectories and routes that tourist follow. After that, instead of using complex geospatial or trajectory clustering methods, we propose to use simpler clustering techniques as k-means or DBScan but using a real sequence of symbols as a distance measure to incorporate in the clustering process the trajectory information.
