  • Patent number: 11466996
    Abstract: A route planning platform can find a path through a road network that has turn complexities. The route planning platform can identify, in the road network, multiple paths from an origin node to a destination node, including at least one path having a turn complexity (e.g., a turn cost, a turn restriction, and/or the like). The route planning platform can compute a respective cost for each respective path from the origin node to the destination node based on a total cost associated with a set of road segments in the respective path, and the cost for the at least one path having the turn complexity can be further based on the turn cost or the turn restriction along the at least one path. The route planning platform can select, among the multiple paths, a shortest path based on the respective cost for each path.

  • Patent number: 10739152
    Abstract: A device receives historical map data, and receives, during a time period, location data associated with a location of a vehicle. The device processes the location data, with a fitted history model, to generate a vehicle path, and processes a portion of the location data, with the fitted history model, to generate a fitted history path, based on the historical map data. The device compares the vehicle path and the fitted history path, and determines whether the vehicle path and the fitted history path match based on comparing the vehicle path and the fitted history path. The device provides the portion of the location data when the vehicle path and the fitted history path match, or adds location data to the portion of the location data and provides the portion of the location data and the added location data, when the vehicle path and the fitted history path do not match.
