This system used a vertical staff and simple signs to record four categories of movement: Emotion, Direction, Degree, and Special.
The analysis of the visible layer focuses on three major categories of movement elements as defined in LMA: Space, Shape, and Effort (for overview see Konie 2011).
To sort trajectories into the five categories of movement types (i.e. immobile, random, directed, caged, and complex), we first defined the maximum MSD value of a track for which we still considered a vesicle to be immobile.
The classification categories of movement patterns were necessarily arbitrary but were designed to include the most common characteristics observed in practice.
Doubts have been expressed about the accuracy and completeness of the records [ 12, 13], and it is clear that some categories of movement are not recorded at all [ 6, 13].
Allen et al. [5] have defined urban freight comprising the following categories of movements: collections, deliveries and transfers (e.g., goods, money, waste), service activities (e.g., equipment installation trips), and other commercial purposes (e.g., sales representatives), inclusive of all types and sizes of goods vehicles.
The second analysis compared the kinematic profiles of the different categories of movements.
Analysis of the kinematic profiles for the different categories of movements corroborates our main hypothesis that these early contacts do not occur accidentally, but reflect motor planning.
The legally required standstill period was 13 days, i.e. no sheep should have been moved off the farm earlier than 13 days after a sheep on-movement unless to slaughter, although certain categories of movements were exempt from the standstill.
