Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program product are provided for providing audio-based navigation. In one example, the apparatus determines reliability of a navigation technique for a vehicle. If the navigation technique is unreliable, the apparatus causes the vehicle to rely on audio-based navigation to traverse a route. The audio-based navigation provides one or more navigational instructions based on a sound signature associated with a location.

Abstract: Systems and methods for traffic control and route guidance are provided. In some aspects, a method for controlling traffic includes receiving vehicle information for a vehicle navigating a location on a road network and identifying a maneuver of the vehicle at the location based on the vehicle information. The method also includes determining an intrusiveness of the maneuver made by the vehicle, and controlling traffic at the location based on the intrusiveness of the vehicle.

Abstract: Sensor data captured by one or more sensors coupled to a first entity are received by an apparatus. The sensor data comprises a location of the first entity or representation of surroundings of the first entity. Based at least in part on the sensor data, a second entity is identified. Based at least in part on trajectories along which the first and second entities are respectively traveling, it is expected that the second entity will enter a zone defined around the first entity. Based at least in part on the sensor data, an amount of time until the second entity will enter the zone is determined. The amount of time until the second entity will enter the zone is provided as (a) input to a navigation function and/or (b) to be displayed as a countdown via a display element and/or speaker element of the first entity.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for vehicle localization via amplitude audio features. In this regard, an amplitude audio signature of audio data received from one or more audio sensors of a vehicle is determined. Location data associated with the vehicle is also determined. Based on the location data for the vehicle, at least a portion of an audio feature map is selected. The audio feature map stores amplitude audio signatures associated with road noise in relation to respective locations. Furthermore, the amplitude audio signature of the audio data is compared with the amplitude audio signatures of the audio feature map. Based on the comparison between the amplitude audio signature of the audio data and the amplitude audio signatures of the audio feature map, a location of the vehicle is refined to generate updated location data for the vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for the detection of road markings affected by shadows are described. At least one object is identified from a database. A shadow position associated with the at least one object is determined. The shadow position estimates a shadow from the at least one objected projected on a road. Road marking detection data for the road may be modified in response to the determined shadow position. A map layer may be generated to indicate where the shadow impacts the road marking detection data.

Abstract: System and methods are provided that contextually define interest index requirements for shared and autonomous vehicles. An interest index is computed based on detected contextual behavioral patterns of pedestrians such as the trajectory a candidate passenger is walking given a locational context. The use of the interest index allows users of shared vehicles to benefit from an enhanced user experience that seamlessly unlocks and/or provides access to features for autonomous vehicles based on the interest index.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for generating an autonomous driving profile map index. In this regard, vehicle context data and location data thereof associated with a vehicle traveling along a road segment is received. The vehicle context data is determined based on a transition into a platooning driving profile for the vehicle that establishes a communication connection between the vehicle and another vehicle traveling along the road segment. Furthermore, autonomous driving profile data for the vehicle at the road segment associated with the location data is calculated based on the vehicle context data.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program product are provided for determining a state of visibility for a road object. In one example, the apparatus receives temporal data, calculates an orientation of a light source with respect to a road object using the temporal data, and predicts a state of visibility for the road object based on the orientation of the light source. In another example, the apparatus determines an artificial light source associated with a road object, receives attribute data associated with the artificial light source, determines a state of the artificial light source using the attribute data, and predicts a state of visibility for the road object based on the state of the artificial light source.

Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing the notification of a modification to a route are provided. For example, a method of optimizing the notification of a modification to a route includes analyzing mobility data of an individual at a first location. The method also includes receiving at least one modification to a level of autonomous driving corresponding to one or more road segments between the first location and a second location. The method also includes, based on the at least one modification to the level of autonomous driving corresponding to the one or more road segments, determining one or more changes to at least one route between the first location and the second location. The method also includes providing a notification to the individual that includes information about the one or more changes to the at least one route between the first location and the second location.
