Abstract:

Map matching is the core issue of the floating car technology, which needs to be addressed properly in practical application. Most of the existing map-matching algorithms used in vehicle navigation, are not suitable for Floating Car Data (FCD) with long sampling interval. To deal with such data, a new online map matching algorithm framework with controllable real-time is proposed, which is made up of Confidence Point (CP) with high single matching accuracy and Maximum Delay Constraint Dynamic Time Window (MDCDTW). It can choose appropriate matching opportunity and approaches (point-to-curve matching or point sequence matching) according to the local network complexity of the GPS point's location. In point sequence matching process, not only some traditional factors in the existing topologic analysis-based algorithms are considered, but also behavior pattern weight of taxi on elevated road (EBPW) is introduced to distinguish the elevated road from the road below. The experiments are carried out with two different types of data sets, including GPS data collected on three planed roads by handheld GPS device and actual floating car data acquired from field survey. Firstly, the influence of sampling interval, maximum delay constraint and route types on matching accuracy is analyzed. Secondly, the results show that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms hidden markvo matching algorithm, incremental matching algorithm and simple point-to-curve matching algorithm in terms of matching accuracy. Finally, the validity of EBPW is verified in smooth traffic status.
