Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the location of a vehicle are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for localizing a vehicle includes driving over a first road segment, identifying by a first localization system a set of candidate road segments, obtaining vertical motion data while driving over the first road segment, comparing the obtained vertical motion data to reference vertical motion data associated with at least one candidate road segment, and identifying, based on the comparison, a location of the vehicle. The use of such localization methods and systems in coordination with various advanced vehicle systems such as, for example, active suspension systems or autonomous driving features, is contemplated.

Abstract: Embodiments related to methods and systems for localizing a vehicle on a road surface are described. In some embodiments, linked reference landmarks present on the road surface may be used to determine a location of a vehicle on the road surface and/or to predict a path of travel of the vehicle along the road surface.

Abstract: In some embodiments, methods and systems may be used to control operation of various systems of the vehicle based on road features included in an upcoming portion of a road surface located along a path of travel of the vehicle. This control may either be based on a probability of encountering a road feature on the road surface 5 and/or frequency information related to the upcoming portion of the road surface.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein include implementation of road surface-based localization techniques for advanced vehicle features and control methods including advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), lane drift detection, passing guidance, bandwidth conservation and caching based on road data, vehicle speed correction, suspension and vehicle system performance tracking and control, road estimation calibration, and others.

Abstract: Localization systems, including road surface-based localization systems, are disclosed that may work in conjunction with less precise systems, such as GPS, to accurately locate a vehicle on a road segment. Methods and apparatus are disclosed for the identification and selection of landmarks, including road surface-based landmarks.

Abstract: A method of terrain-based localization of a vehicle is provided. The method may include determining the vehicle is within a threshold distance of a road segment end point and comparing a measured road profile to a reference road profile associated with the road segment. A method of identifying a track (e.g., a lane) of a road segment road profile is provided. The method may include determining if a number of stored road profiles exceeds a threshold number of road profiles and identifying one or more clusters in the stored road profiles if the threshold number is exceeded.
