Abstract Leveraged by a large-scale diffusion of sensing networks and scanning devices in modern cities, huge volumes of geo-referenced urban data are collected every day. Such amount of information is analyzed to discover data-driven models, which can be exploited to tackle the major issues that cities face, including air pollution, virus diffusion, human mobility, traffic flows. In particular, the detection of city hotspots is becoming a valuable organization technique for framing detailed knowledge of a metropolitan area, providing high-level summaries for spatial datasets, which are valuable for planners, scientists, and policymakers. However, while classic density-based clustering algorithms show to be suitable to discover hotspots characterized by homogeneous density, their application on multi-density data can produce inaccurate results. For such a reason, since metropolitan cities are heavily characterized by variable densities, multi-density clustering seems to be more appropriate to discover city hotspots. This paper presents a study about how density-based clustering algorithms are suitable for discovering urban hotspots in a city, by showing a comparative analysis of single-density and multi-density clustering on both state-of-the-art data and real-world data. The experimental evaluation shows that, in an urban scenario, multi-density clustering achieves higher quality hotspots than a single-density approach. © 2020 IEEE.
