Abstract

"With the rapid advances of mobile device technology and positioning techniques, more and more trajectory data from moving objects is being generated and used by location aware systems such as vehicle navigation system. There are several queries which are generally made by the users of vehicle navigation system which need to retrieve similar trajectories based on distance metrics...In this paper we propose a novel generalized distance metric based on a model that incorporates the time axis explicitly"--Abstract, page iv.
