displacement-related data

Displacement-related data measures how much an object has moved from its original position, regardless of the path taken. It records the straight-line distance and direction from the starting point to the endpoint. This type of data helps understand overall movement and changes in position without focusing on the specific steps or route traveled. For example, in tracking a vehicle, displacement tells you how far and in which direction it has moved from its starting location, providing a clear summary of its net change in position.
