Abstract
The rapidly growing number of crowdsourcing platforms generates huge volumes of volunteered geographic information (VGI), which requires analysis to reveal their potential. The huge volumes of data appear as an opportunity to improve various applications, including routing and navigation services. How existing techniques for dealing with Big Data could be useful for the analysis of VGI remains an open question, since VGI differs from traditional data. In this paper, we focus on examining the latest developments and issues associated with big data from the perspective of the analysis of VGI. This paper notably presents our new architecture for exploiting Big VGI in event service processing in support to optimization of routing service. In addition, our study highlights the opportunities that are created by the emergence of Big VGI and crowdsourced data on improving routing and navigation services, as well as the challenges that remain to be addressed to make this a reality. Finally, avenues for future research on the next generation of collaborative routing and navigation services are presented.
