CityTrajBench: A Unified Benchmark for City-Scale Vehicle Trajectory Generation

arXiv:2606.02287v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Urban trajectory generation is a fundamental task for transportation simulation, urban planning, and mobility analytics. However, systematic comparison across trajectory generation methods remains difficult because existing studies often rely on different datasets, preprocessing pipelines, trajectory representations, and evaluation metrics. This fragmentation makes it unclear whether reported performance differences arise from the generation mechanism itself or from inconsistent experimental protocols. To address this issue, we present CityTrajBe

Why this matters
Why now

The proliferation of various trajectory generation methods necessitates a standardized benchmark to accurately compare their effectiveness and accelerate research in urban mobility.

Why it’s important

A unified benchmark will enable more robust development of AI models for transportation simulation and urban planning, leading to more efficient and adaptable city infrastructure.

What changes

The ability to systematically compare and improve urban trajectory generation models will be enhanced, leading to faster progress in mobility analytics and smart city applications.
