ELD & fleet compliance
Match driver GPS logs to road networks. Detect HOS violations, speeding events, and illegal maneuvers for FMCSA compliance reporting.
Insurance telematics
Score driving behavior using road-aware analytics — speed relative to limit, cornering forces, stop sign compliance, and road type exposure.
Last-mile delivery
Verify actual driven routes against planned routes. Calculate accurate ETAs with rest detection and update dispatch systems in near real time.
CAPABILITIES

What the Route Matching API delivers

GPS trace matching

Match raw GPS logs onto the most probable driven route. Handles dense and sparse traces, tunnels, ferries, poor signal, and point clouds on stationary vehicles.

Driving analytics & risk

Detect speeding, hard cornering, illegal maneuvers, stop sign violations, and regulatory rest time violations for commercial drivers (HOS).

Road attribute lookup

Return speed limits, curve radius, slope, road type, number of lanes, traffic signs, black spots, toll costs, and fuel/energy consumption per road segment.

ETA tracking

Real-time arrival estimates that account for detected rest stops, waypoints reached, and learned driver patterns. Automatically reschedules remaining route.

Trace cleaning & correction

Filter outliers, noise, and GPS drift. Returns corrected coordinates, speed, heading, and acceleration — suppressing unlikely or impossible values.

Truck restriction reporting

Flag weight, height, width, hazmat, and axle restriction violations. Report one-way violations, illegal turns, and delivery-only road access breaches.

Trace file formats

Supported GPS trace formats

Submit GPS traces in any standard format. The API accepts logs directly from hardware GPS devices, ELD units, and mobile applications.

Each trace is a time-stamped sequence of GPS positions. The API handles gaps, noise, and variable sampling rates — no pre-processing required on your end.
