  • Publication number: 20210041254
    Abstract: A network system coordinates transport service between service providers and service requestors operating client devices in a system environment. Service requestors request transport service from a requestor location to a destination location. Service providers provide transport service to service requestors using a transportation vehicle. Network system can suggest a pickup location nearby the requestor location. The suggested pickup location can be on a road segment that is nearby the requestor location, on a navigable road segment, address matched to the requestor location, and on an accessible road segment. Nearby road segments are less than a threshold distance from the requestor location. Navigable road segments have a navigable road type. Address matched road segments are have an alphanumeric location name similar to that of the requestor location. A network system provides the suggested pickup location to a service requestor to facilitate transport service.

  • Publication number: 20190137289
    Abstract: To identify erroneous digital map data, a route guidance engine provides guidance from a first point to a second point along a road network using data stored in a map database. The route guidance engine determines whether a vehicle travels the recommended route or a different route. A map anomaly detection (MAD) engine compares the trace data to the recommended route data. The MAD engine identifies points along the recommended route not included in the trace and points along the trace not included in the recommended route. From this data, the MAD engine identifies section pairs and performs a filtering step. The MAD engine aggregates data for all trips from the first point to the second point within a particular period, and aggregates all trips from all starting points to ending points. The resulting set of points are points where the stored map data is likely incorrect.
