Path Predictive System And Method For Vehicles
First Claim
1. A system for determining the most likely driving path of a vehicle moving along a roadway from a list of candidate paths, comprising:
- a map database;
a map matching module which determines the vehicle'"'"'s position on a map associated with the map database; and
a look-ahead module which determines a list of candidate paths and wherein the system is configured to receive vehicle inputs and wherein the look-ahead module is capable of analyzing the vehicle inputs to determine the most likely path of the vehicle.

Abstract
A system that uses a map database as a predictive sensor and more specifically to a system and method of using a map database as a path predictive vehicle sensor or input with the additional ability to identify system related point of interests, or detect and internally correct for errors in the map database that are found during operation of the vehicle as well as preemptively identifying problematic errors in the database that may create false negatives, or sometimes false positives when combined with a warning system such as a form of a stability system, crash avoidance system, or crash warning system.
