It uses the Vivid Solutions Java Topology Suite that went into making RoadMatcher and other conflation tools. Last I used the conflation plugin it was pretty good at matching simple features, but could really use some improvements such as smarter weighting. I hadn't gotten to working with linear features yet.<span></span></div>
