  • Publication number: 20250035453
    Abstract: Systems and methods herein describe a navigation system for reducing complex maneuvers in navigation instructions. The navigation system receives a transportation request comprising an origin and a destination, determines a first shortest path from the origin to the destination location, and identifies a subset of maneuvers in the first shortest path that are associated with a penalty value. The navigation system further generates a modified path value by applying the penalty value to the identified subset of maneuvers, and in response to identifying that the modified total path value exceeds a threshold value, determines a second shortest path from the origin to the destination. The navigation system generates navigation instructions comprising a second plurality of maneuvers associated with the second shortest path, and transmits the navigation instructions to a computing device.

  • Publication number: 20240361146
    Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to detecting uncontrolled intersections and providing warnings. In response to a navigation request from a user device, the system generates a navigation route using integrated map data, whereby the integrated map data includes indications of uncontrolled intersections that comprise intersections where at least some of the traffic is not required to stop. The system causes presentation of the navigation route in a user interface on the user device and monitors navigation of a vehicle associated with the user device along the navigation route. If the system detects that the vehicle is approaching an uncontrolled intersection based on the monitoring and the integrated map data, the system causes presentation of a warning indicating the uncontrolled intersection in the user interface.
