ABSTRACT
All applications share the need for a robust assignment of the measured vehicle position to a road segment in the digital map. This process is called map matching. Since the emergence of the field in the 1970s (French, 1989), considerable progress has been reported (cf. the surveying articles of Bernstein and Kornhauser, 1998; White et al., 2000; Quddus et al., 2003; and Lakakis et al., 2004). However, users of navigation systems still encounter some erroneous map matching results.
