To address these challenges and demands, enhanced data support and advanced data collection methods are crucial and highly in need. A probe-car serves as an important and effective way to obtain real-time urban road traffic status in the international Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), and probe-car technology provides the corresponding solution through advanced navigation data, offering more possibilities to address the above problems. In addition, massive spatial data-mining technologies associated with probe-car tracking data have emerged. This paper discusses the major problems of spatial data-mining technologies for probe-car tracking data, such as true path restoration and the close correlation of spatial data. To address the road-matching issue in massive probe-car tracking data caused by the strong correlation combining road topology with map matching, this paper presents a MapReduce-based technology in the second spatial data model. The experimental results demonstrate that by implementing the proposed spatial data-mining system on distributed parallel computing, the computational performance was effectively improved by five times and the hardware requirements were significantly reduced.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi7070287","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,24]],"date-time":"2018-07-24T02:58:56Z","timestamp":1532401136000},"page":"287","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Utilizing MapReduce to Improve Probe-Car Track Data Mining"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6100-2443","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Li","family":"Zheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geodesy and Geomatics, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"}]},{"given":"Meng","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geodesy and Geomatics, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"}]},{"given":"Yuejun","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Resource and Environmental Sciences, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"},{"name":"Wuhan Kotei Infomatics Co., Ltd., Wuhan 430072, China"}]},{"given":"Xiangbo","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wuhan Kotei Infomatics Co., Ltd., Wuhan 430072, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7768-4066","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chaowei","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography and GeoInformation Sciences, College of Science, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"}]},{"given":"Fei","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography and GeoInformation Sciences, College of Science, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6769-7517","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manzhu","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography and GeoInformation Sciences, College of Science, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2017, December 31).
