  • Patent number: 11933617
    Abstract: Systems and methods for autonomous lane level navigation are disclosed. In one aspect, a control system for an autonomous vehicle includes a processor and a computer-readable memory configured to cause the processor to receive a partial high-definition (HD) map that defines a plurality of lane segments that together represent one or more lanes of a roadway, the partial HD map including at least a current lane segment. The processor is also configured to generate auxiliary global information for each of the lane segments in the partial HD map. The processor is further configured to generate a subgraph including a plurality of possible routes between the current lane segment and the destination lane segment using the partial HD map and the auxiliary global information, select one of the possible routes for navigation based on the auxiliary global information, and generate lane level navigation information based on the selected route.
