Results in brief

Multiple ASpects TrajEctoRy management and analysis

The problem to be addressed is related to the ever-increasing number of location devices producing massive amounts of traces of moving objects. These traces are called trajectories and they can be enriched with semantic information representing the different contextual aspects of the movement. We deal with trajectories where semantic aspects are intimately correlated and should be considered as a whole. The overarching objective of the MASTER is to form an international and inter-sectoral network of organisations working on a joint research programme in the field of holistic trajectories. We build, manage and analyse holistic trajectories by considering as vital issues the privacy and big data related aspects. We propose methods and techniques to analyse and infer useful knowledge from these multiple-aspects traces. This is important for our society since many applications can benefitting from the methods developed in MASTER. For tourism, we collaborate with the Municipality of Thira in Santorini analysing their data to a picture of tourists flows for sustainability. Sea monitoring better understands the ships movemen in the Mediterranean Sea are to identification of Search and Rescue operations and fishing effort in the Adriadic sea Public transportation sector by analysing data form the Venice transportation agency to better highlight the movements of residential and tourists population in the area. MASTER consortium is assisted by an Independent Ethics Advisor that helped the researchers in better understand the possible ethical implications of trajectories analysis

Project objective

An ever-increasing number of diverse, real-life applications, ranging from mobile phone calls to social media and land, sea, and air surveillance systems, produce massive amounts of spatio-temporal data representing trajectories of moving objects. Trajectories, commonly represented by sequences of timestamps and position coordinates, thanks to the high availability of contextual and semantic-rich data can be enriched and are evolving to more comprehensive and semantically significant objects. In the MASTER project we envision holistic trajectories, meaning trajectories characterized by the fact that the spatio-temporal and semantic aspects are intimately correlated and should be considered as a whole. However current state of art does not provide management and analysis methods “ready for use” for these multiple aspects trajectories. The overarching objective of this project is to form an international and inter-sectoral network of partners working on a joint research programme by developing methods to build, manage and analyse multiple aspects trajectories. These methods are driven by application scenarios from three different domains: tourism, sea monitoring and public transportation.
