Decision guidelines for choosing appropriate segmentation methods. The process should begin with preliminary analyses of the trajectory data and derived path-parameters (1). Choosing among methods is then first directed by the data structure and sampling regime (2). Capability of the methods to account for temporal autocorrelation further determines the decision process. In the end, study aims and objectives guide the final decision on a given segmentation method (3)
