Abstract:
Disclosed is a feature for a vehicle that enables taking precautionary actions in response to conditions on the road network around or ahead of the vehicle, in particular, a curved portion of a road where the curvature increases between adjacent curved sections. A database that represents the road network is used to determine locations where curvature between adjacent curved sections increases. Then, precautionary action data is added to the database to indicate a location at which a precautionary action is to be taken about the location where curvature increases. A precautionary action system installed in a vehicle uses this database, or a database derived therefrom, in combination with a positioning system to determine when the vehicle is at a location that corresponds to the location of a precautionary action. When the vehicle is at such a location, a precautionary action is taken by a vehicle system as the vehicle is approaching a location where the curvature increases.

Claim (Index 23):
A database configured prior to operation of a vehicle system to provide a precautionary action, the database stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium and operable as a component in a system that provides a precautionary action for vehicles approaching a potentially hazardous location along a road of a road network, wherein the database includes data that represents the road network in a geographic region, wherein the database comprises:\n data records that represent road segments that make up the road network; and data associated with a location along a road segment of the road network, the data being operative to cause the system to provide a precautionary action for vehicles approaching the location along a road segment of the road network, the data having been associated with the location when it has been determined that the associated location is associated with a type of hazardous condition which may impair control of a vehicle where a combination of two conditions are satisfied together at a same location along the road segment of the road network each condition comprising existence of a feature at a location represented by data in the database, that an attribute of the feature exceeds a threshold or a combination thereof, wherein the satisfaction of the two conditions is determined by evaluating other data, representative of geographic features located at the location, in the database to determine if a first of the two conditions is satisfied thereby at the location and, upon determining satisfaction of the first condition, evaluating data in the database that represent geographic features located at or around the location of the first condition to determine if a second of the two conditions is satisfied; and wherein the system, upon determining that data representations of a part of the road of the road network stored in the database includes data operative to cause the system to provide a precautionary action, provides a precautionary action for a vehicle approaching the location associated therewith.
