Map matching has long been a fundamental yet challenging problem. However, there are currently only a few public small-scale map matching benchmark datasets. Both the GPS trajectories and the road network in the existing map matching datasets are represented by location only, which cannot support the development of data-driven and semantic-enriched map matching algorithms that have increasingly emerged in recent years. To bridge the gap, we present the first large-scale attribute-rich map matching benchmark dataset covering two cities in Southeast Asia (i.e., Singapore and Jakarta). Our GPS trajectories contain rich contextual information including the accuracy level, bearing, speed, and transport mode in addition to the latitude and longitude geo-coordinates. The underlying road network is a snapshot of the OpenStreetMap where roads are associated with rich attributes such as road type, speed limit, etc. To ensure the quality of our dataset, the annotation of the map-matched routes has been conducted by a team of professional map operators. Analysis on our dataset provides new insights into the challenges and opportunities in map matching algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
