Abstract

We describe the FlexTrack system for querying trajectories using flexible pattern queries. Such queries are composed of a sequence of simple spatio-temporal predicates, e.g., range and nearest-neighbors, as well as complex motion pattern predicates, e.g., predicates that contain variables and constraints. Users can interactively select spatio-temporal predicates to construct such pattern queries using a hierarchy of regions that partition the spatial domain. Several different query processing algorithms are currently implemented and available in the FlexTrack system.
