This function returns the maximum average value of an attribute field by using the MEAN-MAX algorithm.
Syntax
SETOF record ST_trajAttrsMeanMax(trajectory traj, cstring attr_field_name, out interval duration, out float8 max);
Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
traj | The trajectory object. |
attr_field_name | The name of the specified attribute field. |
Description
The MEAN-MAX algorithm uses a sliding window to compute the average value of the specified attribute field in each time range specified by the window, and then returns the maximum value of all the average values.

This function supports only attribute fields of the integer and float types. The values of the specified attribute field cannot be null.
Examples
With traj AS (
Select ST_makeTrajectory('STPOINT', 'LINESTRING(1 1, 6 6, 9 8, 10 12)'::geometry,
