  • Publication number: 20230341238
    Abstract: A network system determines dissimilarities between a digital map and trace data of a road network in an area as service providers and service requestors coordinate service using the road network in the area. To determine dissimilarities the network system can determine a suggested route, determine a predicted route, receive executed trace data, and compare the predicted route data to the executed trace data for the suggested route. The network system may aggregate trace data when determining a dissimilarity. The network system can quantify the differences between traces to determine dissimilarities. Quantifications can include, ratios, bounds, and scores. The network system can determine and alternate route if a dissimilarity indicates that the state of a road segment has changed (e.g., from “open” to “closed”). The network system can modify guidance instructions if a dissimilarity indicates that a guidance instruction is misleading.

  • Publication number: 20210123748
    Abstract: A network system evaluates candidate GPS routes with respect to map routes that are based on ground truth map data to identify defects in the ground truth map data. Defects in the ground truth map data may include inconsistencies between various attributes of the map data and the actual road network represented by the candidate GPS routes under evaluation. The network system corrects the identified feedback to ensure that the ground truth map data accurately reflects the attributes of the actual road network.

  • Publication number: 20190390972
    Abstract: A network system receives geographic information from a device. The geographic information is representative of a candidate GPS route used by a vehicle to complete a trip. The candidate GPS route is more efficient that a map route determined based on ground truth map data. The network system identifies an ordered sequence of one or more known road segments in the ground truth map data that the transportation vehicle uses to complete a trip represented by the candidate GPS route. To determine the ordered sequence of road segments, the network system may relax constraints on attributes of the map data to identify the ordered sequence of road segments.
