Abstract
An update device for generating and updating a digital map in a vehicle is specified which resorts to position data from adjacent vehicles. The position data can be processed further within the update device in order to allow accurate and prompt updating of a subregion of the map without this requiring communication with the map manufacturer or service provider.
Claims14
An update device of a first vehicle for generating and updating a digital map for the first vehicle, said update device of the first vehicle comprising:
- a communication unit for receiving update data from a second vehicle, the update data including position information of the second vehicle and roadway information detected by a driving dynamic system of the second vehicle;
- and
- an update unit for generating or updating the roadway for the first vehicle on a basis of the update data,
- wherein the driving dynamic system includes at least one of an anti-lock brake system (ABS), a Traction Control System (TCS), an Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and an Electronic Differential Lock (EDL).
A method for generating and updating a digital map for a first vehicle, said method comprising the following steps:
- receiving update data in the first vehicle from a second vehicle, the update data including position information of the second vehicle and roadway information detected by a driving dynamic system of the second vehicle;
- and
- generating or updating the roadway for the first vehicle on a basis of the update data,
- wherein the driving dynamic system includes at least one of an anti-lock brake system (ABS), a Traction Control System (TCS), an Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and an Electronic Differential Lock (EDL).
A computer program product which, when executed on a processor, instructs the processor to perform the following steps:
- receive update data in a first vehicle from a second vehicle, the update data including position information of the second vehicle and roadway information detected by a driving dynamic system of the second vehicle;
- and
- generate or update the roadway for the first vehicle on a basis of the update data,
- wherein the driving dynamic system includes at least one of an anti-lock brake system (ABS), a Traction Control System (TCS), an Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and an Electronic Differential Lock (EDL).
A non-transitory computer-readable medium which stores a computer program product which, when executed on a processor, instructs the processor to perform the following steps:
- receive update data in a first vehicle from a second vehicle, the update data including position information of the second vehicle and roadway information detected by a driving dynamic system of the second vehicle;
- and
- generate or update the roadway for the first vehicle on a basis of the update data,
- wherein the driving dynamic system includes at least one of an anti-lock brake system (ABS), a Traction Control System (TCS), an Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and an Electronic Differential Lock (EDL).
