Due to inexpensive modern sensing technologies and extensive use of wireless communication, location information about moving objects is increasing rapidly. Some positioning technologies are based on GPS-equipped devices, while others utilize the infrastructure of the underlying communication network. This opens new opportunities for offering, monitoring, and decision-making novel applications in a variety of fields. To name a few, we have location-based services (LBS), fleet management and traffic control applications, emergency, navigation, and geocoding services. These compose a subset of existing applications where such kind of data comprise the core of the underlying business.
