Abstract

With the acceleration of population urbanization and urban-land expansion, new communities and economic zones have been springing up everywhere. As a fundamental requirement, scientific and rational transportation planning is definitely necessary for constructing public transport links in these new urban districts. To satisfy this requirement, an assistant decision-supporting method for urban transportation planning is proposed in this paper. The method is based on a real-world “big data” – a taxi-GPS trace data set generated by GPS-equipped taxis. Technically, a bidirectional transportation planning principle is designed to provide a reference standard for urban transportation planning. In order to improve the scalability and efficiency of the proposed method in “Big Data” environment, the HANA in-memory database is employed for the method implementation. Finally, extensive experiments are conducted to validate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed method.
