Anomalous Taxi Route Detection System Based on Cloud Services

Abstract

Machine learning is very popular right now. We can apply the knowledge of machine learning to deal with some problems in our daily life. Taxi service provides a convenient way of transportation, especially for those who travel to an unfamiliar place. But there can be a risk that the passenger gets overcharged on the unnecessary mileages. To help the passenger to determine whether the taxi driver has made a detour, we propose a solution which is a cloud-based system and applies machine learning algorithms to detect anomaly taxi trajectory for the passenger. This paper briefly describes the research on several state-of-art detection methods. It also demonstrates the system architecture design in detail and gives the reader a big picture on what parts of the application have been implemented.
