  • Method and apparatus for determining map improvements based on detected accidents
    Patent number: 11341847
    Abstract: An approach is provided for determining map improvements based on detected accidents. The approach involves determining that a vehicle was involved in an accident. The approach also involves receiving a report indicating map data configured in the vehicle at a time of the accident. The approach further involves determining an association between the configured map data and the accident. The approach further involves performing one or more of the following operations: (1) transmitting the association and/or at least a portion of the configured map data to a database and/or a computing device; or (2) determining at least one map change to the configured map data based on the determined association, and transmitting the at least one map change to the vehicle, at least one other vehicle, the database, and/or the computing device.

  • Method, apparatus, and computer program product for vehicle localization via frequency audio features
    Patent number: 11302345
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for vehicle localization via frequency audio features. In this regard, a frequency audio signature of audio data received from one or more audio sensors of a vehicle is determined. Location data associated with the vehicle is also determined. Based on the location data for the vehicle, at least a portion of an audio feature map is selected. The audio feature map stores frequency audio signatures associated with road noise in relation to respective locations. Furthermore, the frequency audio signature of the audio data is compared with the frequency audio signatures of the audio feature map. Based on the comparison between the frequency audio signature of the audio data and the frequency audio signatures of the audio feature map, a location of the vehicle is refined to generate updated location data for the vehicle.
