Abstract
Based on the fact that time intervals are irregular and relatively long and heading information is not available, a simple and applicable map matching algorithm has been proposed. Program implementation of the map matching algorithm based on the combination of Visual Basic with MapObject has been finished. It has validated the accuracy of GPS location by using test vehicles' data, ascertained the matching range, and enhanced the reliability and accuracy of map matching algorithm. It has proposed the shortest path to solve the map matching of close or parallel links and determined the vehicles' routes based on the characteristics that taxis always run along the shortest path. In the end, the feasibility of the map matching algorithm has been validated using GPS data.
