ABSTRACT
The proliferation of tracking sensors in today's devices has led to the generation of high-frequency, high-volume streams of mobility data capturing the movements of various objects. These movement data can be enriched with semantic contextual information, such as activities, events, user preferences, and more, generating semantically enriched trajectories. Creating and managing these types of trajectories presents challenges due to the massive data volume and the heterogeneous, complex semantic dimensions. To address these issues, we introduce a novel approach, MAT-Sum, which uses a location-centric enrichment perspective to summarize massive volumes of mobility data while preserving essential semantic information. Our approach enriches geographical areas with semantic aspects to provide the underlying context for trajectories, enabling effective data reduction through trajectory summarization. In the experimental evaluation, we show that MAT-Sum effectively minimizes trajectory volume while retaining a good level of semantic quality, thus presenting a viable solution to the relevant issue of managing massive mobility data.
