ABSTRACT:

For the purpose of privacy protection, trip trajectory data containing rich personal travel information needs to be anonymized before being shared and analyzed. This practice makes it difficult for researchers to identify the same individuals in different datasets, which hinders the construction of complete trip chains and the exploration of important travel patterns. Therefore, this paper develops a method to match users of different transportation modes based on the following idea. If a user makes a transfer, the ending point of the previous trip will be around the same time (a little earlier) and same location as the starting point of the next trip. When this pattern happens for two user accounts repeatedly, we can infer that the two users are actually the same person. This method is demonstrated using the metro and bus data of Chengdu city from January to March 2021. When setting the minimum transfer times as three, the precision and recall of user matching is 56.50% and 26.45% for the one-month data, 61.76% and 38.60% for the two-month data, and 65.36% and 50.49% for the three-month data. Sensitivity analysis is performed to study the effect of parameters on the user matching result.
