In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for surfacing drive safety notifications are provided. A personal driving pattern library comprising first data associated with a first user for a plurality of road sections included in a first route may be maintained. A global driving pattern library comprising second data associated with a plurality of users for the plurality of road sections included in the first route may be maintained. A determination may be made that the first user is going to travel the first route. A first drive safety score for the first user driving the first route may be calculated. A determination may be made that the first drive safety score is below a threshold value. A drive safety notification may be caused to be surfaced.

A method determines an anticipated occupation of charging points and a charging strategy for a specified route. The method provides traffic data which is representative for the current traffic density on the route specified. An anticipated occupation of charging points along the specified route can be determined on the basis of the traffic data. A charging strategy can be determined on the basis of the traffic data and the determined anticipated occupation of charging points. The provision of information regarding a charging strategy to a driver allows the time required for the specified route to be reduced.

A method for managing an urgency state of a first vehicle, implemented by a managing system. The method includes: receiving a first indication of the urgency state of the first vehicle; determining a list of potential itineraries including at least one potential itinerary of the first vehicle; and sending an alert message to at least one detecting element, located at a traffic lane, the at least one detecting element being determined as a function of the at least one potential itinerary of the first vehicle.

A navigation apparatus and a method for providing an individualization map service of the navigation apparatus are provided. The navigation apparatus includes a detector configured to sense a vehicle state and a travelling environment during travelling, and a processor configured to recognize a drive context based on the vehicle state and the travelling environment, and to make an individualization map to be serviced based on the recognized drive context.

A delivery system in which the vehicles themselves coordinate their movements. Vehicles are assigned to groups based on proximity. Each vehicle communicates its location and route information to the other vehicles in the group. The vehicles in the group then know the positions and routes of the other vehicles in the group. When a delivery is requested, the vehicles in the group use this information to determine which vehicle should be assigned to make that delivery. As the vehicles move around, their proximity to each other changes. When a vehicle has moved away from a group, that vehicle may be removed from the group and assigned to a different group. In this manner, the vehicle coordination mechanism is a distributed task performed by all the vehicles.

A driving control method and apparatus are provided. The method may be applied to the intelligent vehicle field such as intelligent driving/automatic driving. The driving control method includes, after calculating a conventional path in a conventional map, the driving control apparatus searches a high-definition map for a high-definition path that matches the conventional path, and if yes, performs real-time navigation broadcast by using the conventional path, and performs automatic driving by using the found high-definition path. The driving control method and apparatus use advantages of the conventional map, for example, rich road sections and updated real-time traffic information, a more proper calculated conventional path, and a better effect of real-time navigation broadcast, and implement automatic vehicle driving by using a high-definition path, to reduce user operations, thereby improving user experience.

Provided are a method, a device, and a computer program for providing a driving guide by using vehicle position information and signal light information. A method for providing a driving guide by using vehicle position information and signal light information according to various embodiments of the present invention is a method performed by a computing device. The method may comprise the steps of: collecting image data obtained by photographing a space where a vehicle is currently driving; determining a current driving lane of the vehicle by using the image data and vehicle position information; and providing a driving guide for the vehicle by using the current driving lane of the vehicle.

Systems, methods, and other embodiments for vehicle route scheduling and navigation with dynamic selection of turns across opposing traffic are presented herein. In one embodiment, a method includes during development of a vehicle route from an arrival link through a node of a graph representing a road network, determining, for a departure link, that a path of the vehicle from the arrival link to the departure link crosses oncoming traffic, and in response to determining that that the path of the vehicle crosses oncoming traffic, adding an additional delay for the departure link to a route objective function representing the vehicle route; selecting the route including the path that crosses oncoming traffic to be an optimum route between a first location and a second location; including the optimum route in the delivery schedule for the vehicle; and transmitting the delivery schedule for execution.

Provided are methods for travel time estimations, which can include obtaining a profile. In one or more embodiments, the profile comprises a driving profile. The methods can include determining a travel time parameter for each of a plurality of edges in a road network based on the driving profile. The methods can include determining a travel time estimate to reach a location in the road network based on the travel time parameter. The methods can include outputting the travel time estimate. Systems and computer program products are also provided.

Embodiments described herein may provide a method for identifying the location of a hazard, evaluating how long that hazard is likely to be present at the location, and providing an indication of the time to live of the hazard. Methods may include: receiving an indication of a hazard event, where the hazard event includes a timestamp and a location; map matching the location of the hazard event to a map-matched road segment; determining a time to live of the hazard event based, at least in part, on the timestamp and the map-matched road segment; providing an indication of the time to live of the hazard event as at least one of a database entry or a map user interface element; and providing for at least one of route guidance or navigational assistance based, at least in part, on the time to live of the hazard event.
