Spatial-temporal data analysis aims at uncovering useful insights and patterns from data that is associated with a location and that changes with time. Spatial-temporal data can comprise massive datasets obtained from multiple sources, including mobile devices, cameras, radar, and other types of sensors. Traditional analysis techniques allow researchers to perform several tasks, including classification, regression, and clustering. Specifically, clustering methods have been widely adopted in domains such as transportation, smart cities, and astronomy. However, current clustering techniques fail to analyze a moving cluster from its start to finish, limiting themselves to investigating static clusters. This study introduces a framework that takes into consideration the entire life of a moving cluster and describes its lifetime based on dynamic spatial-temporal relationships that the cluster has with other clusters or trajectories.
