<b><i> The main features of PTRAIL are: </i></b>

</p> <ol align='justify'> <li> PTRAIL uses primarily parallel computation based on python Pandas and numpy which makes it very fast as compared to other libraries available. </li> <li> PTRAIL harnesses the full power of the machine that it is running on by using all the cores available in the computer. </li> <li> PTRAIL uses a customized DataFrame built on top of python pandas for representation and storage of Trajectory Data. </li> <li> PTRAIL also provides several Temporal and spatial features which are calculated mostly using parallel computation for very fast and accurate calculations. </li> <li> Moreover, PTRAIL also provides several filteration and outlier detection methods for cleaning and noise reduction of the Trajectory Data. </li> <li> Apart from the features mentioned above, <i><b> four </b></i> different kinds of Trajectory Interpolation techniques are offered by PTRAIL which is a first in the community. </li> </ol> <!------------------------- Documentation Link -----------------> <h2> Documentation </h2>
