A server method of receiving a precise digital map for navigation or autonomous driving as a plurality of partial precise digital maps corresponding to servers respectively proximate to portions of a navigation path.

The described technology is generally directed towards digital map truth maintenance. Map inputs shared among multiple users of a shared overlay map service can have a range of credibility, from not credible to highly credible. The disclosed digital map truth maintenance technologies can be used to enhance credibility of shared map inputs. Credibility values can be calculated for map inputs, based on any of multiple factors. Map inputs having sufficiently high credibility, such as a credibility value determined to be above a threshold value, can be shared among multiple mobile devices.

A transportation vehicle, an apparatus, a method, and a computer program for determining a merged environmental map of the transportation vehicle. The method for a transportation vehicle and for determining a merged environmental map of the transportation vehicle includes obtaining information related to a first environmental map, which is based on messages communicated with other transportation vehicles or infrastructure in the environment; obtaining information related to a second environmental map, which is based on sensor data of the transportation vehicle; and determining the merged environmental map based on the information related to the first environmental map and the information related to the second environmental map.

A map information correction apparatus includes: a feature point priority determination unit that determines, based on a priority table, a priority for a feature point of own mobile object surrounding information; a feature pair priority determination unit that gives, when there is one or more feature pairs, a priority to the feature pair, based on an own mobile object surrounding information priority of the feature pair and a map information priority of the feature pair, the feature pair being a pair of an own mobile object surrounding information feature point and a received map information feature point that correspond to each other; an error calculation unit that calculates an error in the map information, based on a high-priority own mobile object surrounding information feature point and a high-priority map information feature point, the high-priority own mobile object surrounding information feature point being the own mobile object surrounding information feature point, the high-priority map information feature point being the map information feature point, the own mobile object surrounding information feature point and the map information feature point forming the feature pair of a high priority; and a correction unit that corrects the map information using the error.

An information processing method for a vehicle includes capturing and storing images of an area around the vehicle, and transmitting an image to an information processing apparatus when a judgment is made that a road on which the vehicle is traveling can no longer be identified by map matching, the image being captured at a time when the judgment is made.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for improved smart infrastructure data transfer. An example method may involve receiving, by a smart infrastructure device and from a first vehicle, first information associated with the first vehicle in a first format associated with a first communication protocol. The first information is converted from the first format into an agnostic format. An image, video, or real-time feed of an environment of the smart infrastructure device is captured. The first vehicle and a second vehicle in the image, video, or real-time feed is identified. It is determined that the second vehicle is temporarily or permanently incapable of performing a communication with the smart infrastructure device based on the image, video, or real-time feed. The image, video, or real-time feed is analyzed to generate second information associated with the second vehicle. The second information is converted into the agnostic format.

Presented herein are techniques for updating detailed maps used to navigate an autonomous vehicle. The techniques include determining that a vehicle has come within a predetermined range of a road side unit, establishing a communication link with the vehicle, receiving, from the vehicle, data sufficient to identify a vehicle type of the vehicle, based on the vehicle type, selecting a map, stored by the road side unit, for the vehicle, sending a query to a neighbor road side unit seeking data to augment the map, in response to the query, receiving the data to augment the map from the neighbor road side unit, updating the map based on the data to augment the map to obtain an updated map, and sending at least a aspects of the updated map to the vehicle.

A computing device is provided comprising a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor. The instructions are executable by the processor to monitor location information for a plurality of aircraft in a geographic region. Geospatial data is received for the geographic region. The geospatial data comprises, for each of one or more physical objects in the geographic region, a virtual representation of the physical object. The instructions are further executable to determine that the location information meets a threshold difference compared to expected location information for a selected virtual representation of a physical object. An indication of an anomaly is output based at least on the determination that the location information meets the threshold difference.

Described are street level intelligence platforms, systems, and methods that can include a fleet of swarm vehicles having imaging devices. Images captured by the imaging devices can be used to produce and/or be integrated into maps of the area to produce high-definition maps in near real-time. Such maps may provide enhanced street level intelligence useful for fleet management, navigation, traffic monitoring, and/or so forth.

A system, a method, and a computer program product may be provided for processing event data. For example, event data relating to an occurrence of an event corresponding to a first tile is received, and a first count value associated with the received event data is determined. A threshold count value associated with the event within the first tile is obtained, and dynamic switching between a link-based processing and a tile-based processing is performed, based on a comparison between the first count value and the threshold count value, wherein on determining the first count value to be greater than the threshold count value, the tile-based processing is performed, and on determining the first count value to be lesser than the threshold count value, the link-based processing is performed.
