The Trajectools plugin adds mobility data analysis algorithms to the QGIS Processing toolbox.

## Requirements

Trajectools requires [MovingPandas](https://github.com/movingpandas/movingpandas) >= 0.22.3 and optionally integrates [scikit-mobility](https://scikit-mobility.github.io/scikit-mobility/) (for privacy tests), [stonesoup](https://stonesoup.readthedocs.io/) (for smoothing), and [gtfs_functions](https://github.com/Bondify/gtfs_functions) (for GTFS data support).

### Conda install

The recommended way to install these dependencies is through conda/mamba:

```
(base) conda create -n qgis -c conda-forge python=3.12
(base) conda activate qgis
(qgis) mamba install -c conda-forge qgis movingpandas scikit-mobility stonesoup
(qgis) pip install gtfs_functions==2.5 h3==3.7.7
```

Note: Do not upgrade to Python 3.13 if you want to use the GTFS functions. (See https://codeberg.org/movingpandas/trajectools/issues/103 for details.)

### Pip install

If you cannot use conda, you may try installing from the QGIS Python Console:

```
import pip
pip.main(['install', 'movingpandas'])
pip.main(['install', 'scikit-mobility'])
pip.main(['install', 'stonesoup'])
pip.main(['install', 'gtfs_functions'])
```

## Plugin installation

The Trajectools plugin can be installed directly in QGIS using the built-in Plugin Manager:

![plugin manager](https://github.com/movingpandas/qgis-processing-trajectory/assets/590385/edd86ed3-8118-4163-bfe5-993b533e455c)

## Examples

The individual Trajectools algorithms are flexible and modular and can therefore be used on a wide array on input datasets, including, for example, the open [Microsoft Geolife dataset](http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/b16d359d-d164-469e-9fd4-daa38f2b2e13/) a [sample](https://github.com/emeralds-horizon/trajectools-qgis/tree/main/sample_data) of which is included in the plugin repo:
