mappymatch

mappymatch is a pure-python package developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory that maintains a collection of map matching algorithms and wrappers. The package was designed for ease of use and portabilty across platforms.

Installation

Check out the docs for install instructions.

Example Usage

The current primary workflow is to use osmnx to download a road network and match it using the LCSSMatcher.

The LCSSMatcher implements the map matching algorithm described in this paper:

Zhu, Lei, Jacob R. Holden, and Jeffrey D. Gonder. "Trajectory Segmentation Map-Matching Approach for Large-Scale, High-Resolution GPS Data." Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board 2645 (2017): 67-75.

usage:

from mappymatch import package_root
from mappymatch.constructs.geofence import Geofence
from mappymatch.constructs.trace import Trace
from mappymatch.maps.nx.nx_map import NxMap
from mappymatch.matchers.lcss.lcss import LCSSMatcher

trace = Trace.from_csv(root() / "resources/traces/sample_trace_1.csv")

# generate a geofence polygon that surrounds the trace; units are in meters;
# this is used to query OSM for a small map that we can match to
geofence = Geofence.from_trace(trace, padding=1e3)

# uses osmnx to pull a networkx map from the OSM database
nx_map = NxMap.from_geofence(geofence)

matcher = LCSSMatcher(nx_map)

matches = matcher.match_trace(trace)
