Method to determine the quality of civic address produced by reverse geocoder

One or more computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations for determining the quality of civic address produced by reverse geocoder, the operations comprising:

• receiving, at a node, a request by a public safety answer point (PSAP) for a civic address corresponding to user equipment (UE) initiating a call for emergency services;
• identifying, by the node, a geodetic location having an uncertainty;
• initiating, by the node, an application programming interface (API) call to a reverse geocoder API, the API call including the geodetic location;
• receiving, by the node, a geocoded location corresponding to the geodetic location;
• comparing, by the node, the geocoded location to the geodetic location to determine a distance between the geodetic location and the geocoded location;
• based on the uncertainty of the geodetic location and the distance between the geodetic location and the geocoded location, determining a quality of the civic address;
• and
• based on the quality of the civic address satisfying a configurable threshold, providing the civic address to the PSAP, the civic address being the geocoded location.

A system for determining the quality of civic address produced by reverse geocode, the system comprising:

• a user equipment (UE);
• and
• a node configured to:
• receive a request by a public safety answer point (PSAP) for a civic address corresponding to the UE initiating a call for emergency services;
• identify a geodetic location having an uncertainty;
• initiate an application programming interface (API) call to a reverse geocoder API, the API call including the geodetic location;
• receive a geocoded location corresponding to the geodetic location;
• compare the geocoded location to the geodetic location to determine a distance between the geodetic location and the geocoded location;
• based on the uncertainty of the geodetic location and the distance between the geodetic location and the geocoded location, determine a quality of the civic address;
• and
• based on the quality of the civic address satisfying a configurable threshold, provide the civic address to the PSAP, the civic address being the geocoded location.
