Time-Series-Based Queries on Stable Transportation Networks Equipped with Sensors

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a formalism to query transportation networks that are equipped with sensors that produce time-series data. The core of the proposed query mechanism is a logic-based language that is capable to return time, value, and time-series outputs, as well as Boolean queries. We can also use the language for node selection and path selection. Furthermore, we propose an implementation of this language in a graph database system and evaluate its working on a fragment of the Flemish river system that is equipped with sensors that measure the water height at regular moments in time.
