The implementation of a Qualitative Trajectory Calculus (QTC) in a Geographical Information System, for representing, analysing, querying and simulating data about moving objects

The project aims the development of a GIS tool for representing and querying spatiotemporal data in an adequate way. The theoretical staring point for the research is the Qualitative Trajectory Calculus (QTC) and its derivatives. The research comprises five stages: a preliminary, exploratory study (1), the fundamental implementation (2), the implementation (3), elaboration of case studies (4) and assimilation of the results into a PhD thesis.
