This paper introduces a similarity analysis method for moving object trajectories. The proposed method assesses the similarity between a set of trajectories in a multidimensional space, whose dimensions are formed by different movement parameters (e.g. position, speed, acceleration, direction), plus time. We investigate the applicability of the proposed method in finding relative movement patterns such as coincidence and concurrence in the movement of North Atlantic hurricanes.
