Abstract: Embodiments described herein may provide a method for identifying objects along a path established though the Electronic Horizon. An apparatus is provided to facilitate autonomous or semi-autonomous control of a vehicle, where the apparatus is caused to: determine, within a road network, a sequence of road links that satisfy a predetermined likelihood of being traversed by a vehicle, where the road network is segmented into tiles in a map data service provider database; receive, in response to determining the sequence of road links, one or more tiles corresponding to the sequence of road links; search within the one or more tiles for objects within a predetermined distance of the sequence of road links; and generate an object profile for each object, where the object profile includes information relating to the respective object and a distance of the respective object from the road link.
