[OSRM-talk] Map Matching Plugin Questions

[Matthias Schwamborn]

Hi all,

I'm currently playing with the new map matching plugin in OSRM 4.6.0.
Great work! It's been really useful for me so far. I also read the
corresponding paper by Newson and Krumm and have some questions about
the implementation:

- Did you implement all of the described HMM break conditions (route
localization, low probability routes, GPS outliers)? After reading the
code in OSRM, I was only able to find the "low probability routes"
condition. Did I overlook something?

- As far as I understand, MAX_DISTANCE_DELTA corresponds to the delta
when comparing the route length and great circle distance for the "low
probability routes" condition. The paper states a delta of 2000m, the
implementation uses a delta of 200m. Feature or bug?

- What exactly does the "confidence" return value mean?

Thanks!


Best, Matthias
