Abstract. Spatio-Temporal data analysis plays a central role in many securityrelated applications including those relevant to transportation infrastructure, border and inland security. In several applications, data objects move on predefined spatial networks such as road segments, railways, and invisible air routes, which provides the possibility of representing the data in reduced dimension. This dimensionality reduction gives additional advantages in spatiotemporal data management like indexing, query processing, similarity and clustering of trajectory data etc. There are many proposals concerning trajectory similarity problem which includes Euclidian, network, time based measures and concepts known as Position of Interest(POI), Time of Interest(TOI) etc. This paper demonstrates how these POI and TOI methods could be advantages in security informatics domain suitable to work with road network constrained moving object data, stored using a binary encoding scheme proposed in a previous PAISI paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
