A technique automatically identifies and resolves prohibited maneuvers in candidate routes generated by a routing system. Examples of prohibited maneuvers include traveling over a non-navigable path, traveling in an incorrect direction over a roadway, and an improper turn. The technique determines whether the candidate routes contain prohibited maneuvers by comparing the candidate routes with plural types of route-related validation data in plural respective validation processes. For example, a first validation process compares the candidate routes with a collection of GPS traces. A second validation process compares the candidate routes with map reference data. The technique further includes provisions for correcting the causes of identified prohibited maneuvers. Overall, the technique reduces the amount of manual effort involved in verifying the accuracy of routes produced by the routing system, and improves the accuracy, reliability, and safety of the routing system.

Identifying and resolving prohibited maneuvers in routes generated by a routing system

Architecture that comprises features that enable smart searches along a route based on time to entities along the route and off the route, a user experience (UX) that showcases rich entities along the route, saving, sharing and editing capabilities across devices and users, smart ranking and filtering of entities, and user preferences and digital personal assistant interaction. After an itinerary is built, the itinerary can be saved for future use and/or shared with friends and/or other devices. Users can change the itinerary on-the-go by searching and adding entities, at a later time, for example. A digital personal audio assistant can be utilized to provide guidance based on the itinerary, and ask users if they want to take a particular exit to visit some desired location (e.g., place of interest).
