Create polygon from routeboxer boxes

Question

I am trying to create a polygon from the boxes i obtain from the routeboxer algorithm. I am new to GIS and was looking for some pointers. I am also looking at the JSTS library but I think it can only give me intersections. I couldn't find much documentation anywhere.

Is there a way I can combine the boxes to form a polygon so a single $within query can do the trick. Thanks.

This is a computational geometry problem and you can use the algorithm described here.
