Road Number Problem

Post by ernestas@terrait.net »

Hello,

Sometimes PTV xLocate returns street name instead road number when try to get the road number in the living area. Is it possibility to always get road number instead street name?

Hi
I am not sure about the concrete expectations. Could you please give us some examples about
- given input
- desired output?
Or maybe also about the usecase?
Best regards

Re: Road Number Problem

Post by ernestas@terrait.net »

For example i have a car which do some road cleaning job. Car have GPS device which inserts coordinates into database while moving. When i want to check which roads were cleaned i am trying to get road number with "searchLocations" method by coordinates from my database. Lets say my first movement coordinate is x: 22.20472, y: 55.9788437 When i get location info in address field there is one result where property "street" is "4603" which is road number. But when i check second coordinate which is x: 22.2100735, y: 55.978672 then i have a result only with street name "Plungės gatvė".

So i am asking if there are any solution to always get road number instead road name?

For checking i am using "Raw Request Runner"

Hello Ernestas,

From my perspective the road name is an identifier you can use to distinguish between roads.
I am not aware of a number based ID besides some internal segment IDs which could be used in the context of a map matching engine. I still might need an overall picture of the usecase.
Worst case: define your own numbers.

Maybe its time to get in touch 1:1?
