On Map-Matching Vehicle Tracking Data

Summary: Three trajectory-aware map-matching algorithms map vehicle trajectories to road networks, addressing GPS sampling noise beyond single positions. An incremental method trades accuracy for speed; two global methods compare full trajectories using Frechet-distance metrics. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
