VTracer: when online vehicle trajectory compression meets mobile edge computing

Résumé

Vehicles can be easily tracked due to the proliferation of vehicle-mounted global positioning system (GPS) devices. V T racer is a cost-effective mobile system for online trajectory compression and tracing vehicles, taking the streaming GPS data as inputs. Online trajectory compression, which seeks a concise and (near) spatial-lossless data representation before revealing the next vehicle's GPS position, is gradually becoming a promising way to alleviate burdens such as communication bandwidth, storing , and cloud computing. In general, an accurate online map-matcher is a prerequisite. This two-phase approach is nontrivial because we need to overcome the essential contradiction caused by the resource-constrained GPS devices and the heavy computation tasks. V T racer meets the challenge by leveraging the idea of mobile edge computing. More specifically, we offload the heavy computation tasks to the nearby smartphones of drivers (i.e., smart-phones play the role of cloudlets), which are almost idle during driving. More importantly, they have relatively more powerful computing capacity. We have implemented V T racer on the An-droid platform and evaluate it based on a real driving trace dataset generated in the city of Chongqing, China. Experimental results demonstrate that V T racer achieves the excellent performance in terms of matching accuracy, compression ratio, and it also costs the acceptable memory, energy, and app size.
