Trajectory Similarity Join in Spatial Networks
Summary: Defines TS-Join for trajectories in road networks with a practical similarity notion. Proposes a two-phase divide-and-conquer: parallel per-trajectory searches with upper-bound pruning, plus a constant-cost merge; yields order-of-magnitude speedups over baselines.
