TruRoute- An Innovative Solution For Dealing With Mapping Inaccuracies

The way people travel is changing and people’s perceptions of the technological world are evolving. The way each person thinks, interacts and navigates through the streets, alleys, boulevards, roads, parks, lanes, and hills is changing, not because the landscape has changed, but because of how digital maps are evolving, providing more details and revolutionizing the way we see the world.

Technology has enabled us to be as acquainted with our destination mark well before the start of the journey. Want to know if there is a grocery store close to your office? Well, that too now you can in seconds. However, the point to be noted is that despite all the advancements, there is still a meddling inaccuracy which at times becomes quite frustrating for commuters. For example, when you passively follow the GPS directions of a navigation system, and there is, say, an unmarked exit, it confuses the GPS system. It also gets confused whether you are traveling on the main road, or the service road, or the overhead bridge above that road.

The available mapping software and apps are not always reliable for complex roundabouts, merging or diverging sections of motorways, and complex urban road networks. In high road density areas where the average distance between roads is less, it often is difficult to match the trajectory of the vehicle reported by the positioning system at any given moment. Consequently, it may be difficult to precisely identify the road on which the vehicle is traveling as this data is an essential raw material for a broad range of applications such as fleet management, vehicle tracking, traffic management and control, routing and navigation. Moreover, complex road networks result in distance calculation errors so the calculated precise position of the fleet may not always be accurate. Therefore, such confusions and issues provide for misinformation which result in wastage of time, effort and most of all, fuel, which already is unprecedentedly expensive.

Only by correctly identifying the road segment on which the vehicle is moving, the navigation system can make the right decision. TruRoute is a newly introduced solution by iTecknologi Group of Companies, the leading conglomerate with tech-based businesses. This one-of-a-kind invention caters to all the complications regarding accuracy in the existing digital maps. TruRoute identifies the correct road segment on which the vehicle is traveling and determines the vehicle’s location on that segment.It not only enables the physical location of the vehicle to be identified but also improves the positioning accuracy providing a fast algorithm, which resolves tracking data inaccuracies in a provably correct way and tracing the actual route of the vehicle. 

GIS and mapping software are getting more firmly integrated into our infrastructure as increasingly vital applications rely on them for location and timing. Increasing precision and resilience will aid in the operation of such systems in the event of any sort of interruptions or distortions. For instance, businesses involved in delivery services can leverage the TruRoute Technology to keep track of any unforeseen circumstances that could hamper the effective execution of their business processes as well as improving customer experience with better visibility and accuracy. 

It is predicted that this breakthrough technology will have a profound impact not only on user’s experience of vehicle tracking but will open new avenues of marketing, business intelligence, urban planning, infrastructure strategy development, as well as traffic management systems.

iTecknologi Group of Companies, is one of the leading technology conglomerates in Pakistan and primarily deals in solutions pertaining to Security and Surveillance, Software as a Service (SaaS), Internet of Things (IoT), Data on Things (DoT), Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and many more customizable and scalable technological amenities.
