Pagrindinis šio darbo tikslas yra išnagrinėti judančių objektų indeksavimo duomenų bazėse problemas, siūlomus sprendimus bei palyginti keleto iš jų veiksmingumą. Įvairiais pjūviais buvo lyginami praeities duomenis indeksuojantys R ir iš jo išvesti STR bei TB medžiai. Eksperimentai atlikti naudojant sugeneruotus judančių objektų duomenis. Gauti rezultatai parodė, kad indeksų veiksmingas priklauso nuo tam tikrų sąlygų ir aplinkybių, kuriomis jie naudojami. / Over the past few years, there has been a continuous improvement in the wireless communications and the positioning technologies. As a result, tracking the changing positions of continuously moving objects is becoming increasingly feasible and necessary. Databases that deal with objects that change their location and/or shape over time are called spatio-temporal databases. Traditional database approaches for effective information retrieval cannot be used as the moving objects database is highly dynamic. A need for so called spatio-temporal indexing techniques comes to scene. Mainly, by the problem they are addressed to, indices are divided into two groups: a) indexing the past and b) indexing the current and predicted future positions. Also the have been proposed techniques covering both problems. This work is a survey for well known and used indices. Also there is a performance comparison between several past indexing methods. STR Tree, TB Tree and the predecessor of many indices, the R Tree are compared in various aspects using generated datasets of simulated objects movement.

This work is aimed for proposing acceptable indexing of moving objects. With the enlargement of mobile computing it is needed to manage large sets of spatiotemporal data. We introduce the problem of spatiotemporal data and basic general approaches of indexing these data. Further, we show support of spatial data in Oracle. The movement is typically represented as trajectory in two dimensional space with temporal component in third dimension. The thesis contains experiments performed in database Oracle on artificially generate data.
