Qualitative Velocity

The concept of velocity of an object relates an interval of time with the space that this object has travelled in such interval of time. Velocity is always relative: we compare the distance that an object has travelled in a period of time with respect to the position of another object. Although velocity is a quantitative physical concept, we also need a qualitative model of velocity if we want to automatically reason in a human-like way. In this paper, a qualitative model for representing and reasoning with the concept of velocity has been introduced.
