Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving data, in a first vehicle from each of a plurality of second vehicles, including;
a respective second vehicle geolocation and a second vehicle lateral distance from a lane boundary;
defining two or more vehicle clusters based on the received data, each cluster including two or more second vehicles determined to be traveling in a same lane;
using the defined two or more vehicle clusters, to identify two or more lane boundaries based at least in part on the received respective second vehicle lateral distance from the lane boundary; and
using the identified two or more lane boundaries to generate a lane map.

Abstract
A computer can receive, from a vehicle sensor, data about a plurality of second vehicles, define two or more vehicle clusters based on location data of second vehicles, each cluster including two or more of the second vehicles determined to be traveling in a same lane, identify two or more lane boundaries according to clusters, and use lane boundaries to generate a lane map.

12. A system comprising a computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions such that the processor is programmed to:
-
receive, from a vehicle sensor, data about a plurality of second vehicles; define two or more vehicle clusters based on location data, each cluster including two or more of the second vehicles determined to be traveling in a same lane; identify two or more lane boundaries, based at least in part on a received respective second vehicle lateral distance from a lane boundary, according to the defined two or more vehicle clusters; and using the identified two or more lane boundaries to generate a lane map. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
