Abstract(in English) The spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 incerases the demand for a social infrastructure to estimate the route of infection. In this paper, we propose a new method for recovering multiple trajectories based on anonymized passage information including passage time and passage position obtained by sensors in smart city. We formulate this problem as a problem of trajectory estimation in general networks. Our method assumes that each trajectory follows a Markov process and estimates transit time for each edge in networks and transition probabilityof its Markov process. On the basis of its estimation, our method can find multiple trajectories with maximum likelihood by solving a minimum cost flow problem. We evaluate the performance of our method by experiments using simulation data and actual people-flow data.
