    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for interpreting traffic information by a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes: receiving, by a processor, sensor data from one or more sensing devices of the vehicle, where the sensor data depicts a traffic device in an environment of the vehicle; receiving, by the processor, map data associated with the environment of the vehicle, where the map data includes traffic devices; matching, by the processor, the traffic device of the sensor data with a traffic device of the map data; determining, by the processor, a probability distribution of a traffic signal associated with the matched traffic devices based on a Hidden Markov model (HMM); and planning, by the processor, control of the vehicle based on the probability distribution.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes: receiving, by a processor, landmark data obtained from an image sensor of the vehicle; fusing, by the processor, the landmark data with vehicle pose data to produce fused lane data, wherein the fusing is based on a Kalman filter; retrieving, by the processor, map data from a lane map based on the vehicle pose data; selectively updating, by the processor, the lane map based on a change in the fused lane data from the map data; and controlling, by the processor, the vehicle based on the updated lane map.

    Abstract: A system for generating a map includes a processing device configured to determine a provenance of each received map of a plurality of maps, parse each received map into objects of interest, and compare the objects of interest to identify one or more sets of objects representing a common feature. For each set of objects, the processing device is configured to select a subset of the set of objects based on the provenance associated with each object in the set of objects, and calculate a similarity metric for each object in the subset. The similarity metric is selected from an alignment between an object and a reference object in the subset, and/or a positional relationship between the object and the reference object. The processing device is configured to generate a common object representing the common feature based on the similarity metric, and generate a merged map including the common object.
