Calculation of the cumulative distance, net displacement or the maximum net displacement per chosen time interval or for the entire tracking period.

This app calculates the distance moved per chosen time interval or for the entire tracking period. The distance can be calculated in three ways:

Cumulative distance: it calculates the sum of the length of all segments per chosen time interval or the entire track.

Net displacement: it calculates the distance of the straight line between the 1st and the last point per chosen time interval or the entire track.

Maximum net displacement: it returns the maximum straight line distance of the distance matrix between all pairs of locations per chosen time interval or the entire track.

In the 'logs' a message will be displayed informing about the time zone of the data.

Cumulative distance per time interval:

• plot_DistanceMoved_cumulativeDist_per_TIME-INTERVAL.pdf: one plot per individual representing the cumulative distance moved within the time interval

• DistanceMoved_cumulativeDist_per_TIME-INTERVAL.csv: table containing the cumulative distance values per time interval, per individual

Cumulative distance for entire track:

• plot_DistanceMoved_cumulativeDist_in_total.pdf: one plot with the cumulative distance moved in the entire track per individual

• DistanceMoved_cumulativeDist_per_in_total.csv: table with the cumulative distance of the entire track per individual

Net displacement per time interval:

• plot_DistanceMoved_netDisplacement_per_TIME-INTERVAL.pdf: one plot per individual representing the net displacement within the time interval

• DistanceMoved_netDisplacement_per_TIME-INTERVAL.csv: table containing the net displacement values per time interval, per individual

Net displacement for entire track:

• plot_DistanceMoved_netDisplacement_in_total.pdf: one plot with the net displacement in the entire track per individual

• DistanceMoved_netDisplacement_in_total.csv: table with the net displacement of entire track per individual

Maximum net displacement per time interval:

• plot_DistanceMoved_maxNetDisplacement_per_TIME-INTERVAL.pdf: one plot per individual representing the maximum net displacement within the time interval

• DistanceMoved_maxNetDisplacement_per_TIME-INTERVAL.csv: table containing the maximum net displacement values per time interval, per individual

Maximum net displacement for entire track:

• plot_DistanceMoved_maxNetDisplacement_in_total.pdf: one plot with the maximum net displacement in the entire track per individual

• DistanceMoved_maxNetDisplacement_in_total.csv: table with the maximum net displacement of entire track per individual

Distance to be calculated: one option has to be chosen: Cumulative distance, Net displacement or Maximum net displacement.

Time unit: the unit of the time interval for which the distance will be calculated. Available are: Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Month, Years. To select the entire tracking period, ALL has to be chosen. Default is Days.

Time length: a number representing the length of the time unit above. The time interval can be for example '5 Minutes', '12 Hours', '3 Month', '1 Years', etc. If ALL is selected in the 'Time unit' above, this number will be ignored. Default is 1.

Select units of distance calculation: units for the distance calculations. Available are: Centimeters, Meters, Kilometers, Inches, Feet, Yards & Miles. Default units are taken from the map units of the data.

Data: The full input dataset is returned for further use in a next App and cannot be empty.
