The objective of this development is the design of a generic trajectometry software that can study the trajectory of individuals based on location tracking technologies such as ARGOS or GPS, as well as the spatial dynamics of the population and the environmental factors that rule these dynamics. More specifically, at that time, we propose software resources that can:

• import data from classical location tracking technologies such as ARGOS or GPS

• filter errors on location records

• interpolate trajectories

• perform statistical analysis on trajectories

Numerous further developments are planned, from minor ones, such as the addition of new interpolation methods, to major ones, such as the parallel study of several individuals to derive population dynamics and to investigate the environmental factors driving the dynamic. This project is leaded through a collaboration with CNRS researchers in biology and ecology at the IPHC (Strasbourg, France). The project web page is available on the INRIA Gforge.
