GPS Trajectory Dataset of the Region of Hannover, Germany

This dataset is used for the classification of traffic intersection regulations using (car) GPS trajectory data. The coverage is mostly a large part of the city of Hannover, Germany.

The overview of the GPS trajectory dataset is given in the below figure: Overview

When the trajectory dataset is combined with the related intersection ground-truth information (available at: https://doi.org/10.25835/cqg0x1el): Combined

Data Acquisition

The trajectory samples were recorded using an android smartphone while driving a car in and around the city of Hannover, Germany. The acquisition period was from December 2017 to March 2019 by only a single person. The recording of the trajectories has taken place without restrictions in order to reflect a normal behavior of everyday car journeys. The sampling rate is approximately 1 sample per second.
