Practical data management techniques for vehicle tracking data Sotiris Brakatsoulas, Dieter Pfoser, and Nectaria Tryfona   View Paper (PDF)   Return to Research Session 9: DBMS Architecture and Performance Abstract A novel data source for assessing traffic conditions is floating car data (FCD) in the form of vehicle tracking data, or, in database terms, trajectory data. This work proposes practical data management techniques including data pre-processing, data modeling and indexing to support the analysis and the data mining of vehicle tracking data. ©2006 Association for Computing Machinery
