Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to estimate the location of a vehicle based at least in part upon two or more road signs that are depicted by one or more images captured by one or more image capture devices onboard the vehicle. By relying at least in part upon the two or more road signs, the location of the vehicle may be refined or otherwise estimated with enhanced accuracy, such as in instances in which there is an inability to maintain a line-of-sight with the satellites of a satellite positioning system or otherwise in instances in which the location estimated based upon reliance on satellite or radio signals is considered insufficient. As a result, the vehicle may be navigated in a more informed and reliable manner and the relationship of the vehicle to other vehicles may be determined with greater confidence.

Abstract: A method is provided for identifying and indexing lanes of an intersection. Methods may include: determining a directionality for one or more lanes for each of two or more roadways proximate an intersection, where directionality is one of toward the intersection or away from the intersection; determining a bearing for each lane of the two or more roadways proximate the intersection, where the bearing includes a compass heading informed by the directionality; determining a lane position for each lane of the two or more roadways proximate the intersection; generating an order of the lanes using a hierarchy, where the hierarchy considers directionality first, bearing second, and lane position third; causing the generated order of the lanes to be stored in a memory, where the order of the lanes is associated with the intersection; and managing signal phase and timing of the intersection using the generated order of the lanes.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for intersection MAP message creation for vehicle communication is provided. The method includes receiving, over a network, map data for an intersection. A processor calculates a reference point location for the intersection from the map data and calculates offset values relative to the reference point location for a plurality of lanes of the intersection from the map data.

Abstract: A method for providing alerts for a traffic slowdown includes receiving location data for at least a first vehicle of a plurality of vehicles, map matching the location data for at least the first vehicle to a road network, calculating an approaching speed for at least the first vehicle at a first time, calculating a final speed for at least the first vehicle at a second time, and generating a traffic slowdown message in response to the approaching speed and the final speed. The traffic slowdown message includes at least one characteristic of the traffic slowdown.

Abstract: A method includes determining identification information of a vehicle entering a space within a structure or building. The method also includes determining an expected route of the vehicle within the space. The method also includes determining venue map data corresponding to the expected route, the venue map data indicating one or more safety devices disposed at one or more locations along or near the expected route. The method also includes repeatedly tracking a current location of the vehicle as the vehicle moves within the space. The method also includes in response to determining that the vehicle is in proximity to a first safety device of the one or more safety devices, instructing the first safety device to emit an alert.

Abstract: A method for improved traffic congestion estimation is provided using signal phase and timing data from traffic signals at intersections and probe data from vehicles traversing said intersections. An example method may include: identifying each of a plurality of paths through an intersection; identifying signal phase and timing data for each traffic light associated with each path through the intersection; receiving probe data for vehicles approaching or traversing the intersection; estimating a number of vehicles failing to traverse the intersection along a path through the intersection; estimating a congestion status of the path through the intersection based on the number of vehicles failing to traverse the intersection; and causing the congestion status to be provided to permit updating of a map to reflect the congestion status.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing safety related messages to one or more vehicles is based on slowdown data collected in association with one or more vehicles. Historical slowdown data for a set of road segments is identified. One or more corresponding road geometries are accessed for the set of road segments. A comparison is performed for the one or more road geometries and a predetermined set of templates. Based on the comparison, a matching template is identified. A score is calculated for the road segment based on the matching template and the historical slowdown data.

Abstract: A method is provided for traffic light signal phase and timing control (SPaT) status and notification message delivery. The method includes collecting traffic flow, incident, and emergency vehicle information on a predetermined portion of a road geometry network. The method dynamically adjusts the SPaT information for a traffic light signal in the predetermined portion of the road geometry network based on the information collected, and delivers a normal or abnormal SPaT status change with the adjusted SPaT information.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for vehicle parking navigation and communication is described. Between a mobile device and a parking server, a first communication link is established. First parking data is received over the first communication link. A parking request including a parking facility identifier is received and a short range communication network is identified, at least in part in response to the parking facility identifier. Between the mobile device and the parking server, a second communication link is established for the short range communication network. Second parking data is received over the second communication link. The first parking data and second parking data may be combined.
