How to calculate distance between multiple points in SQL Server?

Question

I have table with data from GPS, e.g.: Latitude, Longitude, Time, UserId

How to aggregate total distance in speci

Answer 1

The below function gives distance between two geocoordinates in miles

create function [dbo].[fnCalcDistanceMiles] (@Lat1 decimal(8,4), @Long1 decimal(8,4), @Lat2 decimal(8,4), @Long2 decimal(8,4))
returns decimal (8,4) as
begin
declare @d decimal(28,10)
-- Convert to radians
set @Lat1 = @Lat1 / 57.2958
set @Long1 = @Long1 / 57.2958
set @Lat2 = @Lat2 / 57.2958
set @Long2 = @Long2 / 57.2958
-- Calc distance
set @d = (Sin(@Lat1) * Sin(@Lat2)) + (Cos(@Lat1) * Cos(@Lat2) * Cos(@Long2 - @Long1))
-- Convert to miles
if @d <> 0
begin
set @d = 3958.75 * Atan(Sqrt(1 - power(@d, 2)) / @d);
end
return @d
end 

The below function gives distance between two geocoordinates in kilometres

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnCalcDistanceKM(@lat1 FLOAT, @lat2 FLOAT, @lon1 FLOAT, @lon2 FLOAT)
RETURNS FLOAT 
AS
BEGIN

    RETURN ACOS(SIN(PI()*@lat1/180.0)*SIN(PI()*@lat2/180.0)+COS(PI()*@lat1/180.0)*COS(PI()*@lat2/180.0)*COS(PI()*@lon2/180.0-PI()*@lon1/180.0))*6371
END

Usage:

select [dbo].[fnCalcDistanceKM](13.077085,80.262675,13.065701,80.258916)

The below function gives distance between two geocoordinates in kilometres using Geography data type which was introduced in sql server 2008

DECLARE @g geography;
DECLARE @h geography;
SET @g = geography::STGeomFromText('LINESTRING(-122.360 47.656, -122.343 47.656)', 4326);
SET @h = geography::STGeomFromText('POINT(-122.34900 47.65100)', 4326);
SELECT @g.STDistance(@h);

I hope this helps
