Method for generating a map representation for a vehicle

A computing unit configured to generate a map representation for a vehicle the computing unit configured to perform the following steps comprising:

• receiving environmental sensor data of at least one environmental sensor of the vehicle using an onboard map generation system, wherein the environmental sensor data at least partially represent an environment of the vehicle;
• receiving map data of an electronic road map using the onboard map generation system, wherein the map data at least partially represent a traffic infrastructure within the environment of the vehicle, and wherein the map data are based on radar data;
• and
• generating the map representation of the environment of the vehicle based on the environmental sensor data and the map data, using the onboard map generation system.

A non-transitory storage medium on which is stored a computer program including commands for generating a map representation for a vehicle, the commands, when executed by a data processor, causing the data processor to perform the following steps comprising:

• receiving environmental sensor data of at least one environmental sensor of the vehicle using an onboard map generation system, wherein the environmental sensor data at least partially represent an environment of the vehicle;
• receiving map data of an electronic road map using the onboard map generation system, wherein the map data at least partially represent a traffic infrastructure within the environment of the vehicle, and wherein the map data are based on radar data;
• and
• generating the map representation of the environment of the vehicle based on the environmental sensor data and the map data, using the onboard map generation system.
