first of all, I'm not a native english speaker and this is a hard to explain issue. If you have any doubts, please let me know.
We're using a GPS vehicle tracking device, which is programmed to send and store in a DB the position of the vehicle every 5 min when not moving, and every 100 meters when moving.
This DB has a table called "vehicle_gps" that stores the data, with values such as speed, position, datetime, vehicle_gps_id.
I need some kind of query that will show the different positions where the vehicle stopped for more than a certain amount of time(e.g 2 minutes, discarding traffic lights).
For instance, I need something that can tell me the following: "The vehicle was on Positon1 (P1) at 8:00, it left P1 towards P2, reaching it at 8.20. The vehicle stayed at P2 until 10.20 and it reached P3 at 10.50"
example of the records in the table
vehicle_gps_id | datetime---------- | latitude | longitude | speed
1000------------| 05/16/2012 08:00:00|50.0000 |50.00000 |40 (km/h)
1001------------| 05/16/2012 08:01:00|51.0000 |51.00000 |38 (km/h)
1002------------| 05/16/2012 08:01:23|51.0045 |50.000054 |40 (km/h)
1003------------| 05/16/2012 08:01:40|51.00540 |51.0005430 |39 (km/h)

1060------------| 05/16/2012 10:20:40|53.00540|53.0005430|20 (km/h)
How can I do something like that?
So far, I was able to get the difference in minutes between fixed positions and for that reason, I wanted a loop that would check all dates between positions and break whenever that difference was longer than 5 minutes, which means that the vehicle had stopped.
TIA
