The advances in location-acquisition and mobile computing techniques have generated
massive spatial trajectory data, which represent the mobility of a diversity of moving objects,
such as people, vehicles, and animals. Many techniques have been proposed for
processing, managing, and mining trajectory data in the past decade, fostering a broad
range of applications. In this article, we conduct a systematic survey on the major research
into trajectory data mining, providing a panorama of the field as well as the scope of its …
