Abstract:
1. A method for determining the accuracy of map data, the method comprising: identifying, via one or more processors, a route for traveling from a first serviceable point to a second serviceable point in a geographic area; determining, via the one or more processors, an estimated distance for traveling from the first serviceable point to the second serviceable point, the estimated distance determined based at least in part on map data; determining, via the one or more processors, an actual distance traveled from the first serviceable point to the second serviceable point, the actual distance traveled based at least in part on telematics data collected while a vehicle traveled from the first serviceable point to the second serviceable point; and determining, via the one or more processors, the accuracy of the map data based at least in part on the difference between the estimated distance and the actual distance, wherein determining the accuracy of the map data comprises (a) identifying one or more types of travel selected from the group consisting of turn-around travel, break travel, configurable tolerance travel, and duplicate travel and (b) excluding the one or more types of travel.
