Road segment selection along a route to be travelled by a vehicle

A route planning system of a vehicle for road segment selection along a route to be travelled by the vehicle, the route planning system comprising:

• a vehicle location determining unit for determining with support from a positioning system, a geolocation of the vehicle in view of a digital map;
• an upcoming road identifying unit for identifying in the digital map based on the vehicle geolocation, an upcoming road junction which the vehicle is at last one of approaching and is located at, the upcoming road junction comprising two or more upcoming road segments;
• a traffic information deriving unit for deriving traffic information data applicable for a map area of the digital map covering a plurality of road segments including the two or more upcoming road segments;
• and
• a road segment selecting unit for selecting a road segment out of the two or more upcoming road segments by feeding one or more parameters related to the traffic information data and one or more parameters related to the vehicle geolocation through a neural network trained to select the road segment rendering greatest extent of travelling within one or more set Operational Design Domain, ODD, requirements.

A non-volatile computer storage medium storing a computer program containing computer program code configured to cause one of a computer and a processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

• determining with support from a positioning system, a geolocation of a vehicle in view of a digital map;
• identifying in the digital map based on the vehicle geolocation, an upcoming road junction which the vehicle is at least one of approaching and is located at, the upcoming road junction comprising two or more upcoming road segments;
• deriving traffic information data applicable for a map area of the digital map covering a plurality of road segments including the two or more upcoming road segments;
• and
• selecting a road segment out of the two or more upcoming road segments by feeding one or more parameters related to the traffic information data and one or more parameters related to the vehicle geolocation through a neural network trained to select the road segment rendering greatest extent of travelling within one or more set Operational Design Domain, ODD, requirements.
