Title: METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING DRIVING ASSISTING DATA
Abstract: A method, a central control system and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are provided for determining driving assisting data in relation to a vehicle based on sensor data and map data in relation to other vehicles. Sensor data are obtained from a sensor system of a first vehicle, the sensor data comprising a pose and a velocity of a second vehicle located in a surrounding environment of the first vehicle. Furthermore, map data are obtained comprising a road geometry of the surrounding environment of the first vehicle. The pose and the velocity of the second vehicle are compared with the map data, and driving assisting data in relation to a third vehicle are determined based on the comparison.

Claims: number: 1
text: A method for determining driving assisting data in relation to a vehicle based on sensor data and map data in relation to other vehicles, the method comprising:
number: 2
text: The method of claim 1, wherein the driving assisting data comprise a confidence value of the map data.
number: 3
text: The method of claim 1, wherein determining driving assisting data is based on whether or not the comparison indicates an inconsistency.
number: 4
text: The method of any one of claims 2 and 3, wherein determining driving assisting data comprises:
if the comparison indicates no inconsistency, increasing a confidence value of the map data.
number: 5
text: The method of any one of claims 2-4, wherein determining driving assisting data comprises:
if the comparison indicates an inconsistency, decreasing a confidence value of the map data.
number: 6
text: The method of any one of claims 1-5, wherein the driving assisting data comprise a traffic condition.
number: 7
text: The method of claim 6, wherein the traffic condition is one of a risk scenario, a traffic density, and a temporary traffic change.
number: 8
text: The method of any one of claims 1-7, further comprising:
number: 9
text: The method of any one of claims 1-8, wherein the second vehicle is located in a neighbouring lane or an opposing lane in the surrounding environment of the first vehicle.
number: 10
text: The method of any one of claims 1-9, wherein the road geometry of the surrounding environment of the first vehicle comprises non drivable areas and drivable areas of the surrounding environment of the first vehicle.
number: 11
text: The method of any one of claims 1-10, further comprising:
number: 12
text: The method of claim 11, wherein the road geometries of the respective surrounding environment of the plurality of further vehicles comprises non drivable areas and drivable areas of the respective surrounding environment of the plurality of further vehicles.
number: 13
text: The method of any one of claims 1-12, further comprising:
sending the determined driving assisting data to the third vehicle.
number: 14
text: A central control system comprising:
number: 15
text: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a vehicle control system, the one or more programs comprising instructions for causing the central control system to perform the method according to any one of claims 1 - 13.
