Abstract
Experimental investigations of spatiotemporal algorithms and data structures demand for generators that produce realistic data sets. Especially Location-Based Services (LBS) require the simulation of traffic. In this case, the data sets consist of objects that move within a given infrastructure. In this paper, two different approaches---the Network-based Generator and the City Simulator---are reviewed. Both generators for traffic data have a great deal in common, but are different in certain points. In addition, a short overview on projects using these generators is given.

GeoInformaticaA Framework for Generating Network-Based Moving Objects
861 Citations2002Thomas Brinkhoff
In this paper, the most important properties of network-based moving objects are presented and discussed and a framework is proposed where the user can control the behavior of the generator by re-defining the functionality of selected object classes.
Lecture notes in computer scienceOn the Generation of Spatiotemporal Datasets
286 Citations1999Yannis Theodoridis, Jefferson R. O. Silva +1 more
An algorithm, called "Generate_Spatio_Temporal_Data" (GSTD), which generates sets of moving point or rectangular data that follow an extended set of distributions is proposed, and some actual generated datasets are presented.
Computers Environment and Urban SystemsGenerating semantics-based trajectories of moving objects

This work shows how, at least for some cases, one can generate spatiotemporal datasets that simulate real-world behavior and illustrated using two-dimensional snapshot pictures as well as three-dimensional trajectory images.
Generating network-based moving objects
105 Citations2002Thomas Brinkhoff
The most important properties of network-based moving objects are presented and are the basis for specifying and developing a new generator for spatiotemporal data that combines a real network with user-defined properties of the resulting dataset.

GeoInformaticaOn the Generation of Time-Evolving Regional Data*
54 Citations2002Theodoros Tzouramanis, Michael Vassilakopoulos +1 more
A new generator, called generator of time-evolving regional data (G-TERD), for this class of data is presented and it is easy for the user to manipulate the generator according to specific application requirements and at the same time to examine the reliability of the underlying generalized data model.
Trajectory queries and octagons in moving object databases
43 Citations2002Hongjun Zhu, Jianwen Su +1 more
The proposed " minimum bounding octagon prism" mbop is a new type of approximations for trajectory segments that improve region searches significantly over synthetic trajectory data sets to TB-trees and R*-tree and can significantly reduce the evaluation cost of trajectory queries compared to TB -trees.

27 Citations2002Jussi Myllymaki, James H. Kaufman
A performance benchmark for dynamic spatial indexing that is directly geared towards Location-Based Services (LBS), and several query types relevant for LBS are defined: proximity queries, k-nearest neighbor queries, and sorted-distance queries.
Lecture notes in computer scienceContinuous Queries within an Architecture for Querying XML-Represented Moving Objects
22 Citations2001Thomas Brinkhoff, Jürgen Weitkämper
In this paper, an architecture for supporting queries on XML-represented moving objects is presented, which model technical restrictions as well as the interest of a client in a distinct update operation for continuous queries.
