Name

ST_DistanceCPA — Returns the distance between the closest point of approach of two trajectories.

Synopsis

float8 ST_DistanceCPA(geometry track1, geometry track2);

Descrizione

Returns the distance (in 2D) between two trajectories at their closest point of approach.

Inputs must be valid trajectories as checked by ST_IsValidTrajectory. Null is returned if the trajectories do not overlap in their M ranges.

Disponibilità: 2.2.0

Questa funzione supporta il 3d e non distrugge gli z-index.

Esempi

-- Return the minimum distance of two objects moving between 10:00 and 11:00
