The MobilityDB Development Team is pleased to announce MobilityDB version
1.0 beta1.

MobilityDB is an open-source extension that adds support for temporal and
spatiotemporal objects to PostgreSQL and its spatial extension PostGIS. Its
main use is to store and query GPS trajectories and other mobility and
2D/3D location time series. More information about the use of MobilityDB
can be found in the tutorials included in the manual and the workshop (see
links below).

MobilityDB features:
* Spatiotemporal types tgeompoint and tgeogpoint, which are based on the
geometry and geography types provided by PostGIS (restricted to 2D or 3D
points) and are used to represent points that evolve on time.
* Temporal types tbool, tint, tfloat, and ttext which are based on the
bool, int, float, and text types provided by PostgreSQL and are used to
represent basic types that evolve on time.
* Extensive operations for manipulating the new types: ETL, spatiotemporal
joins, interaction with space and time, time-varying predicates, temporal
aggregations, etc.
* GiST and SP-GiST indexes to support the new types.
* Type analyze and selectivity estimation for the new types and operations.
These are used by the PostgreSQL planner to select the most efficient
execution plan for queries.
* Scalability through integration with Citus (https://www.citusdata.com/)
* MobilityDB follows the Moving Features specification (
https://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/movingfeatures) from the Open
Geospatial Consortium (OGC).
* Associated docker image (https://hub.docker.com/r/codewit/mobilitydb)
* Associated Python driver (
https://github.com/ULB-CoDE-WIT/python-mobilitydb)

MobilityDB is the only moving object database that implements the full SQL
standard. It is available under the open-source PostgreSQL license (
https://www.postgresql.org/about/licence/) More information about
MobilityDB can be found in our talks at various conferences which are
available at the project home page.

MobilityDB is developed by the Computer & Decision Engineering Department
of the Universite libre de Bruxelles (ULB) under the direction of Prof.
Esteban Zimanyi.
