Patents by Inventor Lauri Koponen

Lauri Koponen has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20230332898
    Abstract: An advanced map matching algorithm is disclosed, which embeds the road topology inherently in a set of path candidates. Road connectivity is maintained even in special situations such as U-turns, reverse driving, and tunnels. Careful path candidate management is designed to reduce the candidate count while preserving well-matching candidates. Paths are treated and evaluated independently using multiple criteria, which makes the algorithm reliable and robust in different scenarios.

  • Patent number: 11378404
    Abstract: A method of generating a horizon for use by an ADAS of a vehicle involves using digital location-based data, driver data and/or vehicle data to determine the likelihood that different outgoing paths are taken at a decision point along a currently traversed road segment, and deriving a probability that each path may be taken. The probability may be based on one or more of: an angle of the path relative to the incoming path, the road class of the path, a speed profile of the path, historical paths taken by vehicles at the decision point, and historical paths taken at the decision point by the individual driver or vehicle.
