Abstract

Protocols for dynamic location referencing like e.g. OpenLR and AGORA-C tackle the problem of accurately matching locations between dissimilar digital maps. While this is done with the aim of limiting the amount of descriptive data to reduce bandwidth, in some projects bandwidth is not a problem (e.g. in the EC-funded project ROSATTE, and in the DLR projects MobiLind and KeepMoving), and without constraints regarding bandwidth it might be possible to learn from methods in similar areas like road network matching and map conflation to achieve a more reliable solution. Following this path, this paper presents an approach called Geometry InterMapMatching Extension (GIMME) which has been developed in the ongoing DLR project I.MoVe, and is currently capable of mapping short routes from a TeleAtlas map to a NAVTEQ map on-the-fly, with a success rate of 99.7%, and when compared to OpenLR, with up to 28.7% more correctly decoded routes.
