1. T-Drive Taxi Trajectories: This is a sample of T-Drive taxi trajectory dataset which was generated by over 10,000 taxis in a period of one week in Beijing.
2. GeoLife Trajectory Dataset: This is a GPS trajectory dataset collected in (Microsoft Research Asia)GeoLife project by 167 users in a period of over two years (from April 2007 to Dec. 2010). This trajectory dataset can be used for many research themes, such as mobility pattern mining, user activity recognition, location-based social networks, location privacy, and location recommendation.
