Run Matching Pipeline for a Single Survey

Loads validated surveys for one survey type, runs fuzzy matching against the device registry and GPS trips, and returns enriched records plus the set of trip IDs that were claimed by the match. Called once per survey by merge_trips(), which combines results across all surveys.

Usage

compute_survey_matches(survey, conf, registry, all_trips)

Arguments

survey

Character. Survey identifier: "kefs" or "wcs".

conf

List. Configuration object from read_config().

registry

Data frame. Device registry (pre-loaded by the caller).

all_trips

Data frame. GPS trips (pre-loaded by the caller).

Value

A list with two elements:

• records: Data frame of matched survey-trip pairs, surveys unmatched to any trip, and any multi-trip-day trip rows produced during matching. Includes a survey column identifying the source.

• matched_trip_ids: Character vector of trip IDs that appeared in the matching output (used by the caller to identify truly unmatched trips).
