"Map matching" is the term often used to describe the process of assigning noisy Gpx points to underlying road network.

Not sure what your data is like-
Perhaps look at st_linesubstring where you can use generate series to produce a sequence of relative positions

You may need to explore different methods - a method that works with your training dataset may not work so great on other Gpx datasets that were collected under different conditions
