System, method, and computer program product for identifying a link offset

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon computer executable instruction which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to carry out operations for identifying at least one road object, the operations comprising:

• receiving a first plurality of road object observations associated with the at least one road object;
• determining, based on the received first plurality of road object observations, at least a first link and a second link, wherein the first link is a link associated with the road object and the second link is proximate to the first link;
• determining a second plurality of road object observations from the first plurality of road object observations based on a filtering criteria;
• determining an offset distance for each of the first link and the second link based on the second plurality of road object observations;
• and
• identifying the at least one road object based on the offset distance, wherein identifying the at least one road object comprises associating the at least one road object with at least one of the first link and the second link based on the offset distance.

A method for identifying a link offset, the method comprising:

• receiving a first plurality of road object observations associated with at least one road object for a first link, wherein the first link is associated with a second link;
• determining a second plurality of road object observations from the first plurality of road object observations;
• determining an offset distance based on the second plurality of road object observations;
• and
• determining a first offset location on the first link and a second offset location on the second link for identifying the link offset, based on the determined offset distance.
