Abstract

Widespread availability of location aware devices (such as GPS receivers) promotes capture of detailed movement trajectories of people, animals, vehicles and other moving objects, opening new options for a better understanding of the processes involved. We investigate spatio-temporal movement patterns in large tracking data sets. Specifically we study so-called 'popular places', that is, regions that are visited by many entities. We present upper and lower bounds.
