Abstract: Moving objects databases should be able to manage trips that pass through several real world environments, e.g., road network, indoor. However, the current data models only deal with the movement in one situation and cannot represent comprehensive trips for humans who can move inside a building, walk on the pavement, drive on the road, take the public vehicles (bus or train), etc. As a result, existing queries are solely limited to one environment. In this paper, we design a data model that is able to represent moving objects in multiple environments in order to support novel queries on trips in different surroundings and various transportation modes (e.g., Car, Walk, Bus). A generic and precise location representation is proposed that can apply in all environments. The idea is to let the space for moving objects be covered by a set of so-called infrastructures each of which corresponds to an environment and defines the available places for moving objects. Then, the location is represented by referencing to the infrastructure. We formulate the concept of space and infrastructure and propose the methodology to represent moving objects in different environments with the integration of precise transportation modes. Due to different infrastructure characteristics, a set of novel data types is defined to represent infrastructure components. To efficiently support new queries, we design a group of operators to access the data. We present how such a data model is implemented in a database system and report the experimental results. The new model is designed with attention to the data models of previous work for free space and road networks to have a consistent type system and framework of operators. In this way, a powerful set of generic query operations is available for querying, together with those dealing with infrastructures and transportation modes. We demonstrate these capabilities by formulating a set of sophisticated queries across all infrastructures.

Spatiotemporal data model for network time geographic analysis in the era of big data
TL;DR: The proposed spatiotemporal data model is based on a compressed linear reference (CLR) technique to transform network time geographic entities in three-dimensional (3D) (x, y, t) space to two-dimensional(2D) CLR space and can be stored and managed in classical spatial databases.

Semantic management of moving objects
TL;DR: It is argued that exploiting semantic techniques in mobility data management can bring valuable benefits to many domains characterized by the mobility of users and moving objects in general, such as traffic management, urban dynamics analysis, ambient assisted living, emergency management, m-health, etc.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the trajectory of 100,000 anonymized mobile phone users whose position is tracked for a six-month period and find that the individual travel patterns collapse into a single spatial probability distribution, indicating that humans follow simple reproducible patterns.

TL;DR: This work first model multiple individuals' location histories with a tree-based hierarchical graph (TBHG), and proposes a HITS (Hypertext Induced Topic Search)-based inference model, which regards an individual's access on a location as a directed link from the user to that location.

TL;DR: Analysis and comparison of EDR with other popular distance functions, such as Euclidean distance, Dynamic Time Warping (DTW), Edit distance with Real Penalty (ERP), and Longest Common Subsequences, indicate that EDR is more robust than Euclideans distance, DTW and ERP, and it is on average 50% more accurate than LCSS.
