Perception-based speed limit estimation and learning
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- one or more perception sensors configured to generate perception data about a region near a vehicle;
an attribute component configured to detect one or more environmental attributes based on the perception data;
an estimator component configured to determine an estimated legal speed limit based on the environmental attributes, wherein the estimator component determines the estimated legal speed limit based on environmental attributes comprising one or more of a size of a shoulder of a road, a number of lanes on a road, a presence of houses, a presence of buildings, a presence of parked cars, a presence of a concrete medium, a lane marking, a curb, a rumble strip, a lane width, and a road curvature; and
a notification component configured to provide the estimated legal speed limit to an automated driving system or driver assistance system of the vehicle.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for estimating a speed limit are disclosed herein. A system for estimating a speed limit includes one or more perception sensors, an attribute component, an estimator component, and a notification component. The one or more perception sensors are configured to generate perception data about a region near a vehicle. The attribute component is configured to detect one or more environmental attributes based on the perception data. The estimator component is configured to determine an estimated speed limit based on the environmental attributes. The notification component is configured to provide the estimated speed limit to an automated driving system or driver assistance system of the vehicle.

10. A method for machine learning of legal speed limits, the method comprising:
-
receiving perception data from one or more perception sensors; receiving an indication of an arbitrated legal speed limit for a location corresponding to the perception data; identifying one or more environmental attributes based on the perception data, wherein the one or more environmental attributes comprise one or more of a size of a shoulder of a road, a number of lanes on a road, a presence of houses, a presence of buildings, a presence of parked cars, a presence of a concrete medium, a lane marking, a curb, a rumble strip, a lane width, and a road curvature; and associating the one or more environmental attributes with a value of the arbitrated legal speed limit within an estimation model. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. Non-transitory computer readable storage media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to:
-
process perception data to detect one or more environmental attributes of an area near a vehicle based on the perception data; estimate a legal speed limit for the area near the vehicle based on the environmental attributes, wherein estimating the legal speed limit comprises estimating based on environmental attributes comprising one or more of a size of a shoulder of a road, a number of lanes on a road, a presence of houses, a presence of buildings, a presence of parked cars, a presence of a concrete medium, a lane marking, a curb, a rumble strip, a lane width, and a road curvature; and notify an automated driving system or driver of the vehicle of the estimated legal speed limit. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
