Abstract

Trajectory Determination Systems (TDS) use the measurements delivered by sensors to estimate trajectories. Many are the types of sensors that may be used already by such systems and new ones appear constantly in the market. Variety and fast change pace pose a problem for the maintenance of any kind of software system, including TDSs. Some data models and / or standards dealing with sensor data exist, but these are either too generic (and ambitious) or, on the contrary, targeted at very specific types of observations (as, for instance, GNSS.) This paper introduces a compact but complete, generic and extensible data model powerful enough as to deal with the kind of observations involved in trajectory determination and able to alleviate or even eliminate the software maintenance toll derived by constant changes in data sources. Two materialization of this data model, its file and network interfaces are briefly presented here as well as a portable C++ library implementing such interfaces.
