1. A method of pre-processing probe data, the method comprising:
- examining a sequential dataset for a route of travel between two points;
identifying at least one anomaly in the sequential dataset;
identifying at least a first and a second datum of the sequential dataset wherein said first datum occupies a sequential position adjacent to the identified at least one anomaly; and
inserting at least one non-anomalous datum to occupy a sequential position of the identified at least one anomaly in the sequential dataset, the at least one non-anomalous datum being determined based on one of extrapolation, smoothing and interpolation of the at least first and second datum, wherein the at least one non-anomalous datum is further determined based on at least one inference derived from at least one characteristic of the route, the at least one characteristic of the route being information other than vehicular data corresponding to the route of travel between the two points.

Abstract
Methods of pre-processing probe trace data include examining a sequential dataset for a route of travel between two points, identifying at least one anomaly in the sequential dataset, identifying at least one datum of the sequential dataset occupying a sequential position adjacent to the identified at least one anomaly, and inserting at least one non-anomalous datum to occupy a sequential position of the identified at least one anomaly in the sequential dataset, the at least one non-anomalous datum being determined based on one of extrapolation, smoothing and interpolation of the at least one datum.

17. A method of pre-processing probe data, the method comprising:
-
examining a plurality of sequential location measurements for a route of travel between two points; fitting a best fit mathematical curve to the plurality of sequential location measurements; identifying at least one anomaly by identifying at least one of the plurality of sequential location measurements that does not fall near the best fit mathematical curve within a statistical threshold, the identifying based at least in part on at least one inference derived from at least one characteristic of the route, the at least one characteristic of the route being information other than vehicular data corresponding to the route of travel between the two points; removing the identified at least one anomaly; and inserting sequential location data corresponding to the best fit mathematical curve in place of the anomaly.
