Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for conflating geospatial asset data associated with a geographic area, the geospatial asset data including a base road dataset and a secondary road dataset, the base road dataset including a plurality of base polylines and the secondary road dataset including a plurality of secondary polylines, the method comprising: defining, by one or more computing devices, an individual locker boundary around each of the plurality of base polylines, the plurality of base polylines corresponding to road segments contained within the geographic area; identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a plurality of initial matched road segments and a plurality of initial mismatched road segments for the plurality of secondary polylines, wherein each portion of the plurality of secondary polylines that is included within one of the locker boundaries is defined as an initial matched road segment and each portion of the plurality of secondary polylines that is not included within one of the locker boundaries is defined as an initial mismatched road segment; identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a segment split within the plurality of secondary polylines, the segment split corresponding to an initial matched road segment that extends from at least one initial mismatched road segment defined along the same secondary polyline; comparing, by the one or more computing devices, a segment length of the segment split to a threshold length; and if the segment length is less than the threshold length, re-defining, by the one or more computing devices, the segment split as a mismatched road segment.
