This paper addresses the taxi fraud problem and introduces a new solution to identify trajectory outliers. The approach as presented allows to identify both individual and group outliers and is based on a two phase-based algorithm. The first phase determines the individual trajectory outliers by computing the distance of each point in each trajectory, whereas the second identifies the group trajectory outliers by exploring the individual trajectory outliers using both feature selection and sliding windows strategies. A parallel version of the algorithm is also proposed using a sliding window-based GPU approach to boost the runtime performance. Extensive experiments have been carried out to thoroughly demonstrate the usefulness of our methodology on both synthetic and real trajectory databases. The results show that the GPU approach enables reaching a speed-up of 341 over the sequential algorithm on large synthetic databases. The efficiency of the proposed method to detect both individual and group trajectory outliers on a real-world taxi trajectory database is also demonstrated in comparison with baseline trajectory outlier and group detection algorithms. The results are very promising and show superiority of the proposed method both in reducing computational time and enhancing the quality of returned outliers. Finally, we prime our methodology and results for future refinement using deep learning methodologies.
