  • Patent number: 10371535
    Abstract: Map data is augmented using GPS traces captured by navigation systems of vehicles. A GPS trace is reduced to key points identified based on magnitude of bearing changes and to maintain a maximum separation between key points. The locations and bearings of each key point are compared to locations and bearings along map traces in the map data. Where the location and bearing meet threshold conditions, the key point is merged with the map trace, such as by computing an average or weighted average. The manner in which the key point is merged is modified based on proximity of the key point to points in the map trace connected by segments of the map trace.

  • Patent number: 10088322
    Abstract: An example vehicle system includes a speed sensor that measures a speed of a host vehicle and a processing device programmed to compare the speed to a speed threshold and determine an amount of time the speed is below the speed threshold. The processing device detects the presence of a traffic control device based on the amount of time the speed is below the speed threshold.
