Hi

Last step for my problem. Following the attached jpg, I need to highlight (create new line) the topological road (black) only when it intersect the green line
Any advice?
Thank you

Martin

I think this problem has some hidden assumptions about what is the rate of the incoming points, or more appropriately how close together the GPS points are and with mis-alignment of GPS with respect to high density road networks. If the GPS sample rate is high and the relative distance is small percentage of the road network segments then the problem is easier to solve because you can assume that any given point is likely on the same segment as the last point or just transitioned to the next segment in the network.

There are still serious issue if there is a mis-alignment between the GPS data and the road segments, especially in dense road network areas. Here you might need to apply a stickiness to the segment you are one and do additional analysis and in fact defer judgment to N-1 when looking at point N.

Also as your sample rate spreads out and the distance between GPS point increases then the last segment and the current segment might not even be touching so you might need to route between the adjacent GPS points. Add to this mis-alignment issues and you have a very tricky problem to solve.

The above issues are particularly prevalent in CDMA cell phone tower assisted GPS systems that can have a lot of error in urban areas which also have higher density road networks, but need to be considered with any system like this.

This will work. The GPS point is never on the road geometry.
