  • 将轨迹分解为粗粒度节点和细粒度段落,分层建模时空依赖。
  • 在细粒度模式建模上优于现有方法,支持交通等实际应用。
  • 多层级随机性提升轨迹多样性,降低数据泄露风险,适合隐私保护场景。

理解人类移动行为对交通管理、疫情控制和城市规划等城市应用至关重要。然而,由于隐私顾虑,大规模公开轨迹数据仍有限,制约了下游分析。现有合成轨迹生成方法主要关注全局分布相似性,常忽视不同空间和时间分辨率下的移动模式,而这些对实际应用至关重要。为此,我们提出一种新的多分辨率扩散框架 MR-Traj,用于大规模轨迹生成。MR-Traj 显式将轨迹建模为粗粒度里程碑与细粒度段落的组合,能够捕捉多层次的时空依赖关系。实验表明,MR-Traj 在全局分布相似性上达到顶尖水平,同时在细粒度移动模式建模上持续优于现有方法,并有效支持下游城市移动任务。此外,通过在多分辨率层级引入随机性,MR-Traj 生成更多样化的轨迹,在种子引导的数据发布设置下,实证降低了轨迹关联风险。代码已开源:https://github.com/Ray0202/MR-Traj。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Understanding human mobility is critical for a wide range of urban applications, including traffic management, epidemic control, and urban planning. However, due to privacy concerns, the availability of large-scale public trajectory data remains limited, posing challenges for downstream mobility analysis. Existing methods for synthetic trajectory generation primarily focus on matching global distribution similarity, while often overlooking mobility patterns across different spatial and temporal resolutions that are essential for practical utility. To address these challenges, we propose a novel multi-resolution diffusion framework, MR-Traj, for large-scale trajectory generation. MR-Traj explicitly models trajectories as compositions of coarse-grained milestones and fine-grained segments, enabling the capture of complex spatial-temporal dependencies at multiple resolutions. Experimental results demonstrate that MR-Traj achieves comparable performance to state-of-the-art methods in terms of global distribution similarity, while consistently outperforming them in modeling fine-resolution mobility patterns and supporting downstream urban mobility tasks. In addition, by introducing stochasticity at multiple resolution levels, MR-Traj generates more diverse trajectories, which empirically reduces trajectory linkage risk under a seed-guided data release setting. Our code is available at https://github.com/Ray0202/MR-Traj.
