A network system determines dissimilarities between a digital map and trace data of a road network in an area as service providers and service requestors coordinate service using the road network in the area. To determine dissimilarities the network system can determine a suggested route, determine a predicted route, receive executed trace data, and compare the predicted route data to the executed trace data for the suggested route. The network system may aggregate trace data when determining a dissimilarity. The network system can quantify the differences between traces to determine dissimilarities. Quantifications can include, ratios, bounds, and scores. The network system can determine and alternate route if a dissimilarity indicates that the state of a road segment has changed (e.g., from 'open' to 'closed'). The network system can modify guidance instructions if a dissimilarity indicates that a guidance instruction is misleading.

Determining dissimilarities between digital maps and a road network using predicted route data and real trace data

A network system evaluates candidate GPS routes with respect to map routes that are based on ground truth map data to identify defects in the ground truth map data. Defects in the ground truth map data may include inconsistencies between various attributes of the map data and the actual road network represented by the candidate GPS routes under evaluation. The network system corrects the identified feedback to ensure that the ground truth map data accurately reflects the attributes of the actual road network.
