To address these issues, we propose an efficient algorithm for mining spatiotemporal association rule based on prevalent sequential patterns (STARPSP). Firstly, a cross spatiotemporal sequence dataset is constructed by discretizing sequence data from different spaces to mine both sequential patterns in the same space and between different spaces. Secondly, the PrefixSpan algorithm is extended to mine spatiotemporal prevalent sequential patterns. Thirdly, spatiotemporal association rules are automatically obtained based prevalent sequential patterns with time intervals. Finally, STARPSP is compared with other spatiotemporal sequential patterns and association rules mining algorithms on three real datasets. Our experiments show that STARPSP outperforms the other algorithms with respect to both execution time and the number of generated rules. Furthermore, the rules generated by STARPSP contain more spatiotemporal information, which is critical in decision-making.
