1. A method of performing parcel data analysis for a residential service route for a waste or recycling service vehicle, the method comprising: collecting location information for the waste or recycling service vehicle during a plurality of time intervals as the service vehicle travels along the service route, wherein the location information is collected using a global positioning system (GPS) associated with the waste or recycling service vehicle; associating the location information with street network data relating to the service route; identifying a vehicle stop point on the service route, wherein the vehicle stop point is an interpolated vehicle stop point identified by an area of slow vehicle movement of less than 0.5 miles/hour for a period of 10-20 seconds; determining whether service is provided on both sides of a street or one side of the street on the residential service route, wherein for both sides of the street, the area of slow vehicle movement for the vehicle stop point is in one direction of travel for the vehicle on the street, and for one side of the street, the area of slow vehicle movement for the vehicle stop point is in both directions of travel for the vehicle on the street; and determining whether the waste or recycling service vehicle is providing collection services to a residential street address associated with the vehicle stop point, wherein the residential street address is determined using the street network data.
