MovingPandas is a Python library for handling movement data based on Pandas, GeoPandas, and HoloViz.
MovingPandas provides trajectory data structures and functions for movement data exploration and analysis.
The official MovingPandas API documentation is hosted on ReadTheDocs.

Features
- Easily create trajectories from diverse sources, including CSV files, GIS file formats, (Geo)DataFrames, and OGC Moving Features JSONs (MF-JSON)
- Find locations for given time stamps and time spans
- Compute sampling intervals, movement direction, speed, and acceleration in a variety of spatiotemporal units
- Detect and extract stops
- Split trajectories into individual trips
- Clean, simplify, generalize, and aggregate trajectories
- Create static and interactive visualizations
Here are some examples:
Trajectory plots 
Create interactive trajectory plots, including multiple linked plots with ease …
For all types of tracking data, e.g. video-based trajectories
Including plots in custom projections
Stop detection
Detect stops in trajectories, extract them as points or segments, and use them to split trajectories
Trajectory generalization
Generalize trajectories using spatial, temporal, and spatiotemporal methods
Trajectory cleaning & smoothing
Clean and sooth trajectories by removing outliers and applying Kalman filters
Trajectory aggregation
Aggregate trajectories to explore larger patterns
