Class MapMatching

java.lang.Object

com.graphhopper.matching.MapMatching

public class MapMatching
extends Object

This class matches real world GPX entries to the digital road network stored in GraphHopper. The Viterbi algorithm is used to compute the most likely sequence of map matching candidates. The Viterbi algorithm takes into account the distance between GPX entries and map matching candidates as well as the routing distances between consecutive map matching candidates.
