Abstract:
1. A method for defining travel paths in parking areas, the method comprising: identifying, via one or more processors, a parking area in which there is at least one travel path for the parking area that is not represented on a digital map; identifying, via the one or more processors, one or more street network connection points for the parking area, the one or more street network connection points providing the ability to at least enter the parking area from or exit the parking area to a street network; defining, via the one or more processors, a first set of one or more travel paths in the parking area by connecting the one or more street network connection points in the parking area; defining, via the one or more processors, a second set of one or more travel paths in the parking area by identifying one or more paths traversed by one or more vehicles in the parking area based at least in part on telematics data collected while the one or more vehicle were traversing the parking area; and merging, via the one or more processors, the first set of one or more travel paths with the second set of one or more travel paths.
