Over the past few years there have been several attempts to model and represent the spatial and temporal properties of moving entities. Several semantic and computational frameworks have been developed to track and analyze moving object trajectories, but there is still a need for a qualitative reasoning support at the abstract level. The research presented in this paper introduces a qualitative approach for representing and reasoning about moving entities. The model combines topological relations with qualitative distances over a spatial and temporal framework. Several basic movement configurations over dynamic entities are identified as well as movement transitions.
