Abstract

Map matching algorithms play a key role in providing the navigation solution for many Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and Location Based Services (LBS). It is essential that the map matching algorithm used in the navigation module meets the specified requirements set for a particular service. Although the performance of a map matching algorithm depends on the characteristics of data inputs, the technique used in the algorithm can enhance the overall performance. This paper sets out to report on map matching algorithms developed by the authors in earlier work, and whether these can satisfy the required navigation performance (RNP) of various ITS services and LBS applications. This is achieved by testing the algorithms using real-world field data. The results suggest that these algorithms are capable of supporting the navigation function of many services including route guidance, bus priority at junctions, fleet management, etc. For the covering abstract see ITRD E134653.
