Determination of roadway features
First Claim
1. A method of determining one or more features of a roadway, the method comprising:
- receiving a data packet from a remote vehicle, the data packet including data corresponding to a first location and a first heading of the remote vehicle;
based on the data packet received from the remote vehicle, determining, using one or more processors, a path history for the remote vehicle, the path history including data points corresponding to a plurality of locations and headings including the first location and the first heading and one or more previous locations and previous headings of the remote vehicle; and
determining, using one or more processors, a geometry for a portion of the roadway preceding the remote vehicle based on the determined path history.

Abstract
One or more roadway features can be determined based on information received from one or more vehicles traveling on a roadway. A data packet can be received from a remote vehicle. The data packet can include data corresponding to locations and headings of the remote vehicle. A path history for the remote vehicle can be determined based on the data packet. The path history can include data points corresponding to a plurality of locations and headings for the remote vehicle. A geometry for a portion of the roadway preceding the remote vehicle can be determined using the path history. The determined geometry of the roadway can be used to determine a driving maneuver for a vehicle and/or to verify a map.

15. A system for determining one or more features of a roadway, the system comprising:
-
a communications device configured to receive a data packet from a remote vehicle, the data packet including data corresponding to a first location and a first heading of the remote vehicle; a processor operatively connected to the communications device; and memory operatively connected to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to; determine, based on the data packet received from the remote vehicle, a path history for the remote vehicle, the path history including data points corresponding to a plurality of locations and headings including the first location and heading and one or more previous locations and headings; and determine, using on the path history, a geometry for a portion of the roadway preceding the remote vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
