Abstract
A method map matches probe data to a candidate road segment or node. Methods may include: searching for candidate road segments or nodes for each probe data point to be matched to, where searching for candidate road segments or nodes includes: searching within a predefined radius of each probe data point for road segments or nodes and in response to no road segments or nodes being found within the predefined radius of the respective probe data point, iteratively increasing the predefined radius and searching again until a predefined maximum radius is reached or at least two road segment candidates or node candidates are found; map matching each probe data point to a respective road segment candidate or node candidate based on the road segment candidate or node candidate found in the search; and generating a path based on the map matched probe data points from a respective probe.
