Trip destination prediction based on past GPS log using a Hidden Markov Model

摘要

In this paper, a system based on the generation of a Hidden Markov Model from the past GPS log and cur-rent location is presented to predict a user’s destination when beginning a new trip. This approach dras-tically reduces the number of points supplied by the GPS device and it permits a ‘‘support-map” to begenerated in which the main characteristics of the trips for each user are taken into account. Hence, incontrast with other similar approaches, total independence from a street-map database is achieved
