I need a detailed description of a GPS trajectories. I don't need to know what a GPS trajectory is, I already know it. Exactly I need a paper (better if scientific cut) that talk about different type of trajectories. e.g.: Difference in pedestrian, marine and car and highlight what difference presents from each other, can anyone help?
Best regards
You may be interested in the GeoLife stream of reasearch (PDF here) in which transportation mode is inferred from raw GPS tracks. Yan et al. also work on semantic enrichment of GPS tracks.
Two pointers that might be of some interest:
An approach that defines an algorithm to cluster trajectories including information about the direction of movement. There is pseudocode inside the paper demonstrating this approach, however I haven't seen an implementation of that.

Weka-STPM - Semantic Trajectory Preprocessing Module (alternative source). A module that extends Weka data mining toolset. It aims at mining trajectories in a higher abstraction level. Papers of interest detailing this solution:
