Abstract

The movement of animals, people, and vehicles is embedded in a geographic context. This context influences the movement. Most analysis algorithms for trajectories have so far ignored context, which severely limits their applicability. In this paper we present a model for geographic context that allows us to integrate context into the analysis of movement data. Based on this model we develop simple but efficient context-aware similarity measures. We validate our approach by applying these measures to hurricane trajectories. Keywords: Movement data – geographic context – similarity measures
