A weight-based map matching method in moving objects databases
Huabei Yin, Ouri Wolfson · 2004
In location management, the trajectory represents the motion of a moving object in 3D space-time, i.e., a sequence (x, y, t). Unfortunately, location technologies, cannot guarantee error-freedom. Thus, map matching (a.k.a. snapping), matching a trajectory to the roads on the map, is necessary. We introduce a weight-based map matching method, and experimentally show that, for the offline situation, on average, our algorithm can get up to 94 % correctness depending on the GPS sampling interval. 1.
