    Abstract: A road surface evaluation apparatus includes a microprocessor is configured to perform: calculating a roughness value of road surface corresponding to a predetermined period based on driving information of the plurality of vehicles during the predetermined period; and outputting roughness information including the roughness value. The microprocessor is configured to further perform, when calculating the roughness value corresponding to a second predetermined period, estimating whether a magnitude of a change rate of the roughness value corresponding to the second predetermined period with respect to the roughness value corresponding to a first predetermined period exceeds a predetermined threshold to acquire, when the magnitude is estimated to exceed the predetermined threshold, more pieces of the driving information to be used for calculating the roughness value corresponding to the second predetermined period than when the magnitude is estimated to be equal to or less than the predetermined threshold.

    Abstract: A scene creation system for an autonomous vehicle includes one or more controllers executing instructions to receive perception data and map data of a roadway the autonomous vehicle is traveling along, and identify a plurality of lane segments of the roadway that the autonomous vehicle travels along based on the perception data and the map data. The one or more controllers connect the plurality of lane segments together based on a spatial relationship between the plurality of lane segments to create a lane graph. The one or more controllers classify each of the plurality of lane segments of the lane graph to one or more lane attributes and reassemble the plurality of lane segments to create a representation of the roadway. The one or more controllers recreate a scene of an environment surrounding the autonomous vehicle based on the representation of the lanes that are part of the roadway.

    Abstract: An approach is provided for verifying reported ramp closures. The approach involves, for example, processing a ramp closure report to determine reported ramp link(s) associated with the ramp closure report. The approach also involves constructing a ramp network comprising the reported ramp link(s) and other ramp link(s) connected to the reported ramp link(s). The approach further involves collecting probe data collected from one or more sensors of one or more vehicles traveling within the ramp network. The approach further involves identifying one or more driving patterns based on one or more vehicle paths determined from the probe data. The approach further involves performing a verification of a closure status of the reported ramp link(s) based on the one or more driving patterns. The approach further involves providing the verification of the closure status as an output.
