Defining travel paths in parking areas
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for defining travel paths in parking areas, the method comprising:
- for a parking area in which there is at least one travel path for the parking area that is not represented on a digital map, defining, by one or more processors, a first set of one or more travel paths in the parking area by identifying one or more paths traversed by one or more vehicles in the parking area based at least in part on telematics data collected while the one or more vehicles were traversing the parking area; and
updating, via the one or more processors, the digital map to include a representation of the first set of one or more travel paths in the parking area.

Abstract
Computer program products, methods, systems, apparatus, and computing entities are provided for defining travel paths in parking areas. In one embodiment, travel paths in parking areas are defined by connecting street networking connection points within the parking areas. In another embodiment, such defined travel paths are merged with actual paths traveled by vehicles in the parking areas.

13. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
-
an executable portion configured to, for a parking area in which there is at least one travel path for the parking area that is not represented on a digital map, define a first set of one or more travel paths in the parking area by identifying one or more paths traversed by one or more vehicles in the parking area based at least in part on telematics data collected while the one or more vehicles were traversing the parking area; and an executable portion configured to, update the digital map to include a representation of the first set of one or more travel paths in the parking area. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
