    Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a control unit for vehicle control and a server which distributes map information to the control unit. The map information includes information on a first type of road whereby full or partial driving assistance of the vehicle is possible, and information on a second type whereby full or partial driving assistance of the vehicle are not possible. The server includes an output unit which transmits information on a second type of road existing in a predetermined range from a first type of road on which the vehicle is traveling, and such that the first and second types of road form a predetermined angle or less. The control unit includes a map management unit including information on the first and second types of road, and a vehicle control unit controlling the vehicle by using the information on the first and second types of road.

    Abstract: Provided are a map generation system and a mobile object configured so that the map accuracy of an occupancy grid map can be ensured while a memory capacity and an arithmetic processing load can be reduced. The map generation system includes a storage (27) configured to store, as detection information, a detection value obtained for each detection unit by a detection device (4) in chronological order, a map producer (23) configured to produce the occupancy grid map based on the detection information stored in the storage (27) and cause the storage (27) to store the occupancy grid map, and an influence ratio calculator (24) configured to calculate an influence ratio for the occupancy grid map for each piece of detection information stored in the storage (27). The map producer (23) sorts the detection information based on the influence ratio calculated by the influence ratio calculator (24) to produce the occupancy grid map.

    Abstract: A computing device is provided comprising a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor. The instructions are executable to receive a raw aviation information notice that comprises text. A text language analysis model is used to extract metadata from the raw aviation information notice. The metadata comprises aviation operation information that describes a status of a component of an airspace system. Geospatial aviation data is received that corresponds to the component of the airspace system. The aviation operation information is mapped to the geospatial aviation data to thereby generate geometry data for the aviation operation information. The geometry data and the metadata are used to generate an enriched aviation information notice. The instructions are further executable to output the enriched aviation information notice.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer program products for generating and using map information. For example, the method includes: identifying data collection mission area(s) (DCMAs) within a geographic location that is to be covered by robotic device(s) during a data collection mission (DCM); generating a route to be traversed by robotic device(s) in DCMAs (the route being configured to cause robotic device(s) to traverse each two-way road at least one time in two opposing directions); causing robotic device(s) to perform DCM by following the route and collecting data; causing robotic device(s) to discontinue collecting data in response to a trigger event; and using the data collected during DCM to generate or update the map information. The map information may be used to facilitate controlled movement of a vehicle.

    Abstract: An approach for traffic incident verification involves receiving a traffic message channel (TMC) message indicating a traffic incident. The TMC message indicates an extent of the traffic incident in a road graph using TMC location code(s)/offset(s). The approach also involves matching the TMC location code(s)/offset(s) to a first set of map road link(s) and offset(s) of a geographic database, determining sensor data collected from vehicle(s) travelling within the road graph. The sensor data indicates the extent as location point(s) of topology segment(s) (TSs) and TS offset(s), matching the location point(s) of the TS(s) and TS offset(s) to a second set of map road link(s) and offset(s) of the geographic database, determining an intersection set between the first and second sets, and initiating a confirmation of the traffic incident reported in the TMC message based on the sensor data of the location point(s) of the TSs in the intersection set.

    Abstract: A vehicle controller includes a processor configured to detect, in a travel direction of a vehicle, an inconsistent section where information on a road represented in a first map is inconsistent with information on the road represented in a second map, the road being traveled by the vehicle, and the first and second maps being updated at different timings, generate a planned trajectory regarding a section from the current position of the vehicle to a predetermined distance away in the travel direction of the vehicle except the inconsistent section, based on the first map, generate the planned trajectory regarding the inconsistent section, based on a map, of the first and second maps, with a shorter elapsed time since the timing of the last update of information on the road in the inconsistent section, and control the vehicle so that the vehicle travels along the generated planned trajectory.

    Abstract: A method for providing a navigation map to a vehicle includes receiving, at a server, a request message in order to update the navigation map of the vehicle. The method further includes ascertaining a change to a portion of the navigation map of the vehicle on the basis of the received request message from the vehicle and on the basis of a current portion of the navigation map of the server outside the vehicle. In addition, the method includes determining a scope of change for the portion of the navigation map of the vehicle on the basis of the ascertained change, and checking whether the determined scope of change for the portion of the navigation map of the vehicle equals, exceeds, or falls below a predefined threshold value. A response message for updating the navigation map of the vehicle is generated based on the determined scope of change.
