movingpandas.Trajectory.get_position_at

Trajectory.get_position_at(t, method='interpolated')

Compute and return position at time t.

Parameters:

• t (datetime.datetime) – Timestamp to extract a row for

• method (str) – Interpolation method

Returns:

Position at time t

Return type:

shapely Point

Examples

If the trajectory contains a position at the given timestamp, it is returned:

>>> traj.get_position_at(datetime(2018, 1, 1, 12, 6))
Point (6 0)

If there is no trajectory position for the given timestamp, the default behaviour is to interpolate the location:

>>> traj.get_position_at(datetime(2018, 1, 1, 12, 9))
POINT (6 4.5)

To get the trajectory position closest to the given timestamp, specify method=’nearest’:

>>> traj.get_position_at(datetime(2018, 1, 1, 12, 9), method='nearest')
POINT (6 6)
