  • Patent number: 10102247
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for precision adaptive trajectory query plan optimization. The mechanism identifies precision needs based on query instances and maps trajectory point data to the precision needs to form a precision support skeleton data structure. The mechanism generates an optimized query plan and executes the optimized query plan on the precision support skeleton data structure to identify at least one passing trajectory that passes the query. The mechanism then queries the trajectory point data for the at least one passing trajectory.
