    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 for crowd-sourcing lane line map data for a vehicle includes receiving a plurality of observations. The method also includes classifying the plurality of observations into a plurality of observation categories. Each of the plurality of observation categories includes at least one of the plurality of observations. The method also includes determining a plurality of aligned point clouds based at least in part on the plurality of observations. One of the plurality of aligned point clouds corresponds to each of the plurality of observation categories. The method also includes determining a plurality of lane line maps based at least in part on the plurality of aligned point clouds. One of the plurality of lane line maps corresponds to each of the plurality of aligned point clouds. The method also includes updating a map database based at least in part on the plurality of lane line maps.

    Abstract: A system for resolving discrepancies in map data includes one or more central computers in wireless communication with one or more vehicles. The one or more central computers are programmed to receive a first map dataset and a second map dataset. The one or more central computers are further programmed to receive a plurality of crowdsourced map datasets. Each of the plurality of crowdsourced map datasets represents the predefined geographical area. The one or more central computers are further programmed to compare each of the plurality of crowdsourced map datasets with the first map dataset and the second map dataset to determine one or more common lane lines. The one or more central computers are further programmed to determine a fused map dataset based on the first map dataset, the second map dataset, the plurality of crowdsourced map datasets, and the one or more common lane lines.

    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 receive road network data that includes a discrete random curve that represents lane markings. The discrete random curve includes a plurality of state vectors that are each defined by a respective location and tangent angle. The central computers estimate the position for the state vectors of the discrete random curve based on a signed distance and the tangent angle by minimizing a spatial Kalman filter cost function and execute a Kalman smoothening function to estimate the position and the tangent angle for the state vectors that are part of the discrete random curve, where the state vectors each represent a map point of the fused map data.

    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.
