SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING AN OPTIMAL ROUTE FOR NETWORK PERFORMANCE TESTING

A device may receive user criteria associated with a route for network performance testing of a network, network data associated with the network, and cartographic data associated with a location of the network. The device may calculate network spatial data based on the user criteria and the network data, and may perform feature extraction of the network spatial data to calculate network statistics and to extract network event locations. The device may generate waypoint criteria based on the network statistics and the network event locations, and may map the network spatial data to valid roadways identified in the cartographic data to generate mapped data. The device may identify a list of viable waypoints based on comparing the mapped data and the waypoint criteria, and may process the list of viable waypoints, the network data, and the cartographic data, with a clustering model, to generate the route.
