TRK_Duration takes a track column and returns a float column representing the total duration of each input track. The duration
of a track is the difference between the last instant and first instant of a track. The result is returned in the
units specified by output
.
Tracks are linestrings that represent the change in an entity's location over time. Each vertex in the linestring has a timestamp (stored as the M-value) and the vertices are ordered sequentially.
For more information on using tracks in GeoAnalytics Engine, see the core concept topic on tracks.
