Abstract
The movement of continuously changing positions should be stored and indexed for querying current and past positions. A simple extension of the original R-tree to add time as another dimension, called 3D R-tree, does not handle current position queries and does not address the problem of low space utilization due to high overlap of index nodes. In this paper, 1 propose the dynamic splitting policy for improving the 3D R-tree in order to improve space utilization of split nodes. 1 also extend the original 3D R-tree by introducing a new tagged index structure for being able to query the current and past positions of moving objects. 1 found out that my extension of the original R-tree, called the tagged dynamic 3DR-tree, outperforms both the 3D R-tree and 75-tree when querying current and past position.
