Abstract  

[Objective] This paper proposes a new supervised learning method to identify road intersections automatically based on GPS trajectory data generated by travelers in the mixed traffic mode. [Methods] Firstly, we encoded and partitioned the original trajectory data and their active regions with the GeoHash algorithm. Then, the coded trajectory and the coding matrix of active regions were mapped into a binary fusion matrix for characteristics of road intersections. Finally, we employed the K nearest neighbor classification algorithm with sliding window to identify the intersections. [Results] The proposed method was more efficient than the Latitude and Longitude Coordination based systems. Encoding with GeoHash algorithm helped us reduce the volume of datasets by 61%. It had better performance than the turning-angle based methods, and its F1-measure score was 0.82 with the distance measure of 50 meters. [Limitations] More real life GPS data is needed to better evaluate our method’s performance. [Conclusions] The proposed method is robust to the changing of sampling frequencies and could effectively identify the urban intersections based on GPS trajectory data.
