We propose a model for clustering data with spatiotemporal intervals. This model is used to effectively evaluate clusters of spatiotemporal interval data. A new energy function is used to measure similarity and balance between clusters in spatial and temporal dimensions. We employ as a case study a large collection of parking data from a real CBD area. The proposed model is applied to existing traditional algorithms to address spatiotemporal interval data clustering problem. Results from traditional clustering algorithms are compared and analysed using the proposed energy function.
