The TIGER tool is under development at TNO ICT. The tool calculates the spatial traffic grids, which are one of the input data sets for mobile telephone network planning tools. The input data for the TIGER tool consists of the distribution of the potential users of the mobile telephone network. The distribution of the traveling users is only available at low detail and this data set has to be matched with the detailed road and railroad data set. The match of both data sets should be optimized and an indication of the reliability and accuracy of the matches has to be given. In order to perform this task properly the follwing research question has been formulated. Find the best match between generalized, low detailed schematic links and the more detailed road and railroad network and give an indication of reliability and accuracy of the results. This graduation project has been executed in two ways. First an eximanation of related researchers on the topic of matching multiple representations of street data sets has been performed. Second, different variants of solution definitions have been implemented. The results have finally been compared in order to give an indicaation of the reliability and accuracy. This best variant has the highest matching rate of all of the implemented variants, determined by comparing the results of the variants mutually. The variant generalizes the matching route of the travelers with the Douglas-Peucker line simplificatin algorithm. The number of vertices that are left gives an indication of the smoothness of the route, which i sone of the characteristics of the input data set containing the distribution of the travelers.
