Abstract

Chemical materials are useful but sometimes hazardous, which requires strict regulation from the government. However, due to the potential economic benefits, many illegal hazardous chemical facilities are running underground, which poses a significant public safety threat. However, the traditional solutions, e.g., on-field screening and the anonymous tip-offs, involve a lot of human efforts. In this paper, we propose a ubiquitous approach called ICFinder to detecting illegal chemical facilities with chemical transportation trajectories. We first generate candidate locations by clustering stay points extracted from trajectories, and filter out known locations. Then, we rank those locations in suspicion order by modeling whether it has the loading/unloading events. ICFinder is evaluated over the real-world dataset from Nantong in China, and the deployed system identified 20 illegal chemical facilities in 3 months.
