Augmented-reality assistance to improve traffic markers

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processing system including at least one processor, cause the processing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• monitoring at least one environmental condition surrounding a vehicle, using at least one on-board sensor of the vehicle;
• detecting that the at least one environmental condition surrounding the vehicle is likely to impair a visibility for an occupant of the vehicle, based on an output of the at least one on-board sensor;
• acquiring static map data for a location surrounding the vehicle;
• generating an augmented reality view of the location surrounding the vehicle, using the static map data for highlighting at least one traffic marker at the location surrounding the vehicle;
• and
• displaying the augmented reality view of the location surrounding the vehicle with the at least one traffic marker being highlighted on a display within the vehicle.
