To solve the problem that routes with very few journeys (ultra-low-frequency journey routes) are difficult to generate in the large-scale complex road network scenarios, the study designs a framework focusing on ultra-low-frequency route generation, ULF-TrajGAIL, and proposes an original trajectory-augmentation method called the combined expansion method. The specific original trajectory-augmentation method is determined by the pre-trajectory-generation experiment, and high-quality synthetic trajectories with higher diversity and similarity are output based on the final generation experiments which take the augmented trajectories as references. Based on the real trajectories of a complex road network in a region of Guangzhou, the quality of synthetic trajectories under different original trajectory-augmentation methods from the route, link and origin and destination pairs levels has been compared. The results show that the method can generate more ultra-low-frequency routes and help improve the overall diversity of routes and the similarity between routes and the number of journeys as well.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems11020061","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,23]],"date-time":"2023-01-23T04:50:41Z","timestamp":1674449441000},"page":"61","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Trajectory Generation of Ultra-Low-Frequency Travel Routes in Large-Scale Complex Road Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3062-4140","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jun","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Intelligent Systems Engineering, Sun Yat-sen University, Shenzhen 518107, China"}]},{"given":"Wenting","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Intelligent Systems Engineering, Sun Yat-sen University, Shenzhen 518107, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Liu, X., Chen, H., and Andris, C.
