Rethinking GPS trajectory mining
approaches (Huang, W. & Wang,
L. 2022)
Based on: Huang, W. & Wang, L.
(2022)
Focus on individual trajectories
Challenges
-
Plausible
-
Visual / Animation with QGIS
-
Not statistically testable / Generating Hypotheses
-
Leads necessarily to ethical concerns (Smartphone Sensing, Privacy)
