Numerous map-matching techniques have been developed to improve positioning, using Global Positioning System (GPS) data and other sensors. However, most existing map-matching algorithms process GPS data with high sampling rates, to achieve a higher correct rate and strong universality. This paper introduces a novel map-matching algorithm based on a hidden Markov model (HMM) for GPS positioning ...

The logging of GPS data is quickly becoming an important source of data for travel behavior researchers. Post-processing these data requires to match the GPS data stream to the coded map of the transportation network. The output of the map-matching process is the identification of the routes that were actually taken. This paper presents an innovative map-matching algorithm that relies only on t...

the goal of this article is mapping urban management science. the main question of the research is “what are the subject areas of urban management science and how is the relation between these subject areas?” the map of urban management science can help to recognize urban management and its subject areas and can help policy makers to get familiar with the priorities in this subject area. for th...

Internet technology and the availability of large public knowledge bases should enable future autonomous systems to drastically improve their perceptual and cognitive capabilities with only inexpensive sensors. In this paper we investigate this aspect with respect to robot self-localization. We present a method to improve GPS-based localization of mobile robots using geographic data from a publ...

this paper presents a method for generating a digital management map to apply cyanazine pre-emergence herbicide. the main objective was to develop a precision method to generate management maps for the variable rate application of herbicide to reduce the amount of herbicide applied and its adverse impact on the environment. first, local and utm coordinates of a field were determined using total...

Recent technological advances in geo-positioning, mobile communications, and computing hardware are combining to offer new opportunities for improved collective transport services. While the routes are getting more and more congested, it is important to attract people to use public transport, which should be more attractive compared to the private cars. This paper presents the objectives of the...

Since the existing floating car map-matching algorithms lead to high error rate when GPS data sampling rate is low, we propose a global-voting map matching algorithm. Based on floating car GPS track data, the algorithm do not only consider the influence to matching process caused by the topological information of road network but also the different spatial distance of GPS track data. In this ma...
