Frosted Tracks

SAND2025-01893O Frosted Tracks is a software tool to group trajectories according to sequences of their behavior. The goal is to start with a very large number of trajectories and identify groups that exhibit similar behavior patterns. The application combines TICC and Metric DBSCAN clustering algorithms for behavioral segmentation and labeling of air/sea trajectory data. Sandia National Laboratories is a multimission laboratory managed and operated by National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc., for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-NA0003525.

Behavioral Segmentation and Clustering of Geospatial Trajectories

The rapid growth of global positioning system (GPS) devices has led to a corresponding increase in the size of GPS datasets. While these large GPS datasets contain a wealth of information about the behaviors of the moving objects in them, manual classification and anomaly detection are prohibitively time consuming. We utilize unsupervised machine learning techniques to first identify the behaviors for individual moving objects and then cluster those objects by their behavioral sequences. In this way, trajectories behaving unusually as well as common patterns of behavior are both detectable in large datasets without requiring an a priori definition of "unusual" or "common."
