| - | A distributed database is an architecture in which multiple database instances on different machines are integrate in order to form a single database server. Both the data and the queries are then distributed over these database instances. This architecture is effective in deploying big databases on a cloud platform. | ||
| - | MobilityDB is engineered as an extension of PostgreSQL. MS Azure supports distributed PostgreSQL databases using [[https://www.citusdata.com/|Citus]]. We have made successful tests for integrating MobilityDB and Citus on a local cluster. The goal of this project is to repeat this work on MS Azureintegrate MobilityDB with these products. The key outcomes are a comprehensive assessment of which MOD API can/cannot be distributed, and an assessment of the performance gain. These outcomes should serve as a base for a thesis project to achieve effective integration. | ||

| GPS location tracks typically contain errors, as the GPS points will normally be some meters away from the true position. If we know that the movement happened on a street network, e.g., a bus or a car, then we can correct this back by putting the points on the street. Luckily there are Algorithms for this, called Map-Matching. There are also a handful of open source systems that do map matching. It remains however difficult to end users to use them, because they involve non-trivial installation and configuration effort. Preparing the base map, which will be used in the matching is also an issue to users. | GPS location tracks typically contain errors, as the GPS points will normally be some meters away from the true position.
