Abstract

Neighbourhood graphs are useful for inferring the travel network between locations posted in the Location Based Social Networks (LBSNs). Existing neighbourhood graphs, such as the Stepping Stone Graph lack the ability to process a high volume of LBSN data in real time. We propose a neighbourhood graph named Diversion Graph, which uses an efficient edge filtering method from the Delaunay triangulation mechanism for fast processing of LBSN data. This mechanism enables Diversion Graph to achieve a similar accuracy level as Stepping Stone Graph for inferring travel networks, but with a reduction of the execution time of over 90%. Using LBSN data collected from Twitter and Flickr, we show that Diversion Graph is suitable for travel network processing in real time.
