A novel road network change detection algorithm based on floating car tracking data

Abstract

Road network changes constantly and rapidly. Traditional road network change detection methods cannot meet the needs of modern applications. This paper proposes a novel detection algorithm that uses the floating car tracking data to detect the changes of road network in real-time. With this novel algorithm, an experiment was carried out by adapting the trajectories derived from floating car data with actual date, to generate a part of the current road network of Fuzhou City. The experiment results show that the algorithm has well feasibility and achieves the better quality road network.
