Project description

This research project seeks to identify human travel behavior within a large database of trajectory data on the basis of sequence analysis. While sequence analysis has primarily been used in biochemistry to compare DNA sequences, it hs recently successfully been applied in transportation studies. The aim of this project is to explore the merits and limitations of sequence analysis for the study of spatio-temporal travel behaviour.
