In this paper, we consider the use of a seismic sensor array for the localization and tracking of a wideband
moving source. The proposed solution consists of two steps: source Direction-Of-Arrival (DOA) estimation and
localization via DOA estimates. Three DOA estimation methods are considered. The Covariance Matrix Analysis
and the Surface Wave Analysis are previously published DOA estimation algorithms shown to be effective in the
localization of a stationary wideband source. This paper investigates their performance on moving wideband
sources. A novel DOA estimation algorithm, the Modified Kirlin's Method was also developed for the localization
of a moving source. The DOAs estimated by these algorithms are combined using a least-squares optimization
for source localization. The application of these algorithms to real-life data show the effectiveness of both the
Surface Wave Analysis and the Modified Kirlin's Method in locating and tracking a wideband moving source.
