SenseWalk: Agent-Based Semantic Trajectory Simulation Powered by Large Language Models in Zoned Environments
arXiv:2607.00989v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Semantic trajectory analysis has recently emerged as an approach for modeling human movement by capturing implicit patterns and behaviors through semantic information (e.g., visitors' profiles and goals) beyond raw spatial paths to better understand why people move in certain ways. However, analyzing semantic trajectories in real-world scenarios remains challenging, as collecting high-quality data is costly and often lacks rich semantic information. Meanwhile, existing simulation tools require substantial technical expertise, which makes them d
The proliferation of advanced large language models (LLMs) and the increasing demand for sophisticated urban planning and behavioral modeling are converging, enabling more realistic simulations of human movement.
This development allows for the creation of rich semantic trajectory data without the cost and privacy concerns of real-world collection, significantly accelerating research and development in urban planning, logistics, and behavioral economics.
The ability to simulate complex human movement patterns with high semantic detail, driven by LLMs, shifts the paradigm from data-collection scarcity to data-generation abundance in fields relying on human behavioral models.
