Abstract
Technologies and techniques for merging/resolving MAP data and signal phase and timing (SPaT) messages for traffic light data prediction a vehicle in an intelligent transportation system. SPaT data and/or MAP data may be received in a vehicle from a direct source and a network source, and processed to merge data from the two different platforms. The merging of the data allows a vehicle to generate inferences relating to traffic light data received on direct, low-latency, connections, while taking advantage of the more comprehensive data provided from the network source.
Claims23
A method for traffic light management for a vehicle, comprising:
- receiving first MAP data from a network source;
- receiving second MAP data from a direct source;
- processing the first MAP data to determine first lane data and a first maneuver data associated with the first lane data;
- processing the second MAP data to determine second lane data and a second maneuver data associated with the second lane data;
- comparing the first lane data with the second lane data to determine a substantial match;
- comparing the first maneuver data with the second maneuver data to determine an exact match;
- and
- generating a traffic light signal group mapping for at least one of the first lane data and/or the second lane data.
