Curve detection. Given spatially variable GPS samplings (due to change in speed), the driving route is resampled at a fixed spatial step by linear interpolation (top), and the resampled data are smoothed to approximate the shape of the driving path. The approximation error will be smaller than p, the distance between arc top and chord. Curve radius (R) can be estimated based on arc length (c) and turning angle (α).
