    Abstract: A system for fusing two or more versions of map data together includes one or more central computers that receive road network data representing a road network for a predefined geofenced area. The central computers compute a plurality of points that are each positioned at a predetermined distance from one another. The central computers create a plurality of bounding boxes for the road network based on the plurality of points and create a set of closest matched map data points for each bounding box that is part of the road network by executing a map-matching registration algorithm to align the two or more versions of map data with one another. The central computers execute a maximum likelihood estimation algorithm to determine probability distribution parameters of the set of closest matched map data points compared to the ground truth map data.

    Abstract: A method includes receiving sensor data from a plurality of sensors of a plurality of vehicles. The sensor data includes vehicle GPS data and sensed lane line data of the roadway. The method further includes creating a plurality of multi-layer bitmaps for each of the plurality of vehicles using the sensor data, fusing the plurality of the multi-layer bitmaps of each of the plurality of vehicles to create a fused multi-layer bitmap, creating a plurality of multi-layer probability density bitmaps using the fused multi-layer bitmap, extracting lane line data from the plurality of multi-layer probability density bitmaps, and creating the high-definition (HD) map of the roadway using the multi-layer probability density bitmaps and the lane line data extracted from the plurality of multi-layer probability density bitmaps.

    Abstract: A global positioning system (GPS)-bias detection and reduction system including a GPS-bias model having GPS statistical data creating a database representing data collected from a vehicle group having thousands or multiple thousands of vehicles saved in a database. At least one newly collected vehicle GPS data point is compared to the GPS statistical data to reduce negative effects of GPS-bias and to update the vehicle GPS-bias correction based on a previous GPS-bias model. A selected road node and a segment of a roadway have a map matching performed using a nearest service from a collection location of the GPS statistical data. A GPS-bias is calculated using a look-up of the database. An estimated horizontal position error (EHPE) defining a quality indicator is applied to distinguish a good quality GPS statistical data from a poor quality GPS statistical data.

    Abstract: A method and system of map data reconciliation in connected vehicles. The method includes processing information to detect a same object; determining an identification of the same object; determining a confidence level of the identification of the same object; determining a probability mass function (PMF) of the identification of the same object using Dempster-Shafer Theory; determining a most probably identification of the same object based on the PMF; and communicating the most probably identification of the same object to a vehicle to implement a vehicle function. The system includes a conflict resolution module configured to receive confidence levels from multiple vehicles detecting the same object and to determine a reconciled identification of the same object using an algorithm based on Dempster-Shafer Theory, and a weight calculation module configured to apply a weight function based on a scene context weight function and on a historical score of the vehicles.

    Abstract: A method of correcting a GPS vehicle trajectory of a vehicle on a roadway for a high-definition map is provided. The method comprises receiving first bitmap data from a first sensor of a first vehicle to create a plurality of first multi-layer bitmaps for the first vehicle using the first bitmap data and receiving second bitmap data from a plurality of second sensors of a plurality of second vehicles to create a plurality of second multi-layer bitmaps. The method further comprises creating first probability density bitmaps and an overall probability density bitmap with a probability density estimation, and matching an image template from each of the first probability density bitmaps with the overall probability density bitmap to define match results. The method further comprises combining the match results to define combined utility values and determining the maximal utility value with the combined utility values.

    Abstract: System and methods for estimating a capacity of a battery are presented. In certain embodiments, charge and discharge current throughput data may be separately accumulated during operation of a battery system (e.g., during a charge sustaining operation of vehicle associated with the battery system). Charge and discharge voltage-based state of charge movement data may be further separately accumulated. Upon accumulating sufficient data, estimated charge and discharge battery capacities may be determined based on the accumulated data.
