Moving Objects Modeling

Moving Objects Management

Abstract

Location modeling is the foundation for moving objects databases. Existing database management systems are not well equipped to handle continuously changing data, such as the position of moving objects. The reason for this is that in traditional databases, data is assumed to be constant unless it is explicitly modified. This is unsatisfactory for MOD since locations of moving objects are continuously changing. In this chapter, we introduce a few underlying location modeling methods and propose a new graph of cellular automata (GCA) model to integrate the traffic movement features into the model of moving objects and the underlying spatial network.
