A system accesses a three-dimensional map of a geographic region and generates a two-dimensional projection of the road based on the three-dimensional map. The two-dimensional projection comprises a plurality of points along the road and each point is assigned a score measuring a navigability of the point. Based on the navigability score of each point and history of vehicle positions on the road, the system identifies a plurality of navigable points on the two-dimensional projection of the road. Based on the plurality of navigable points, the system determines a navigable surface corresponding to a physical area over which a vehicle may safely navigate and navigable surface boundaries surrounding that area. The navigable surface area and boundaries on the two-dimensional projection are converted into a three-dimensional representation, which the system uses to generate an updated three-dimensional map of the geographic region.

An information processing apparatus includes an update unit and an obtaining unit. The obtaining unit obtains a second position of a map feature point included in map information based on the map information and information obtained from a vehicle sensor. The map information includes a map feature point first position measured in an environment including a closed route along which the vehicle travels. The sensor-obtained information includes a sensor feature point measured by the sensor mounted on the vehicle while the vehicle travels along the closed route. Where a distance between an estimated vehicle first position and an estimated vehicle second position is greater than a threshold, map information updating is restrained. Where the vehicle traveling near the vehicle first position continues traveling along the closed route, the update unit updates the map information between when the vehicle leaves the vehicle first position and nears the vehicle second position.
