Abstract

The TPR-tree is a popular index structure utilized to query the present or future positions of moving objects. Compared with the traditional spatial index structures, the TPR-tree is more appropriate to satisfy the requirements of storage and queries of moving objects. However, when a TPR-tree is constructed, the velocity difference of moving objects in the same direction hasn't been considered. This will cause numerous invalid regions with lower efficiency for query execution. To solve this problem, we present an enhanced spatio-temporal index structure: VCTPR-tree, and it can avoid invalid regions by introducing velocity to change the timestamps thus improve the query performance.
