Abstract: A method for aggregating data to facilitate gamification of employee contributions is provided. The method includes compiling, via an application programming interface, raw data from a source, the raw data including employee contribution data, employee achievement data, and employee engagement data; mapping the compiled raw data based on a predetermined guideline; generating a structured data set based on a result of the mapping; identifying a user record from the structured data set; determining a characteristic for the identified user record; and updating a user profile that corresponds to the identified user record with information relating to the determined characteristic.

Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, a vehicle position uncertainty area correction method and a corresponding apparatus are detailed. This method is preferably executed on a hardware platform 400. This method includes provision of an initial position envelope (307) associated with a vehicle position. Then, a corrected position envelope (307"") is derived from the initial position envelope (307) and bounded within a predetermined fixed area (313, 315) surrounding an outermost pair (305, 309) of road segments. The outermost pair (305, 309) of road segments are extracted from a map database (415) positioned within boundaries delimited by the position envelope (307).
