    Abstract: A route-planning system (10) suitable for use on an automated vehicle (12) includes a memory (20) and a controller (30). The memory (20) is used to store map-data (22) indicative of a plurality of possible-routes (24) to a destination (26). Each possible- route is characterized by a difficulty-score (28). The controller (30) is in communication with the memory (20). The controller (30) is operable to select from the memory (20) a preferred-route (52) from the plurality of possible-routes (24). The preferred-route (52) is selected based on the difficulty-score (28).

    Abstract: A radar system for an automated vehicle includes a digital-map, a radar, and a controller. The digital-map indicates a characteristic of a roadway traveled by a host- vehicle. The radar detects objects proximate to the host-vehicle. The radar is equipped with a range-setting that is selectively variable. The controller is in communication with the digital-map and the radar. The controller is configured to select the range-setting of the radar based on the characteristic of the roadway. The characteristic may be based on speed-limit, road-shape (e.g. curve-radius), a horizon-distance, and/or an obstruction (e.g. hill, sign, or building). The radar may be equipped with a frame-rate-setting (i.e. pulse repetition frequency or PRF) that is selectively variable, and the controller may be further configured to select the frame-rate-setting based on the characteristic of the roadway.

    Abstract: A map-data update system (10) suitable for use by automated vehicles includes a digital-map (16), an imager-device (34), and a controller (40). The digital-map (16) is used to indicate an expected-position (18) of a traffic-signal (20) relative to a map-location (22) of a host-vehicle (12). The imager-device (34) is suitable to install on the host-vehicle (12). The imager-device (34) is used to determine an actual-position (30) of the traffic-signal (20) relative to a present-location (36) of the host-vehicle (12). The controller (40) is in communication with the digital-map (16) and the imager-device (34). The controller (40) issues an update-request (42) to update the digital-map (16) when the actual-position (30) differs from the expected-position (18) by greater than an error-threshold (46).
