Transportation companies and organizations routinely collect huge volumes of passenger transportation data. By aggregating these data (e.g., counting the number of passengers going from a place to another in every 30 minute interval), it becomes possible to analyze the movement behavior of passengers in a metropolitan area. In this paper, we study the problem of finding important trends in passenger movements at varying granularities, which is useful in a wide range of applications such as target marketing, scheduling, and travel intent prediction. Specifically, we study the extraction of movement patterns between regions that have significant flow. The huge number of possible patterns render their detection computationally hard. We propose algorithms that greatly reduce the search space and the computational cost of pattern detection. We study variants of patterns that could be useful to different problem instances, such as constrained patterns and top-k ranked patterns.
