ST_CPAWithin — Tests if the closest point of approach of two trajectories is within the specified distance.
boolean ST_CPAWithin(geometry  track1, geometry  track2, float8  dist);
Tests whether two moving objects have ever been closer than the specified distance.
Inputs must be valid trajectories as checked by ST_IsValidTrajectory. False is returned if the trajectories do not overlap in their M ranges.
