    Abstract: A method for generating an occlusion map using crowdsourcing includes receiving occlusion data from a host vehicle. The occlusion data includes a plurality of virtual detection lines each extending from the sensor and intersecting an off-road area. The method further includes marking all non-occluded points that are located inside the off-road area and that are located within a predetermined distance from each plurality of virtual detection lines. The method further includes determining a non-occluded region inside the off-road area using the non-occluded points that have been previously marked inside the off-road area, wherein the non-occluded region is part of non-occlusion data. The method further includes generating an occlusion map using the non-occlusion data. The method further includes transmitting the occlusion map to the host vehicle. The method can also determine an occlusion caused by an elevation peak.

    Abstract: A scene creation system for an autonomous vehicle includes one or more controllers executing instructions to receive perception data and map data of a roadway the autonomous vehicle is traveling along, and identify a plurality of lane segments of the roadway that the autonomous vehicle travels along based on the perception data and the map data. The one or more controllers connect the plurality of lane segments together based on a spatial relationship between the plurality of lane segments to create a lane graph. The one or more controllers classify each of the plurality of lane segments of the lane graph to one or more lane attributes and reassemble the plurality of lane segments to create a representation of the roadway. The one or more controllers recreate a scene of an environment surrounding the autonomous vehicle based on the representation of the lanes that are part of the roadway.

    Abstract: A system for notifying an authority about road conditions for a vehicle may include a plurality of vehicle sensors, a vehicle communication system, and a controller in electrical communication with the plurality of vehicle sensors and the vehicle communication system. The controller is programmed to identify a measurement trigger. The controller is further programmed to perform a measurement of an environment surrounding the vehicle using the plurality of vehicle sensors in response to identifying the measurement trigger. The controller is further programmed to determine a measurement classification based at least in part on the measurement. The controller is further programmed to transmit the measurement and the measurement classification to a remote server system using the vehicle communication system.
