Abstract

Location sensing moving objects generate a continuous stream of spatio-temporal data. Querying and analysis of this data can give more inference on the mobility patterns of the objects. In this paper, we are proposing a method for evaluating spatio-temporal aggregate queries. For the effective processing of queries continuous clustering is employed on moving objects. The frequency of clustering is determined by the semantic properties of the travel network. Moving objects and queries are combined together and processed incrementally all through the travel network. The cluster membership of an object may change during the course of the journey. By analyzing this, the pattern of the movement of object can be ascertained. Special data structures are maintained to keep track clusters to answer spatio-temporal aggregate queries. We prove that our system can deliver answers to spatio-temporal aggregate queries effectively without processing the entire records of the moving objects.
