Because the actual real road does not continue downwards along the traveling direction all the time, a specific position of one road can extend out of other roads, such as ramps of an expressway, or when one road continues downwards along the traveling direction, the real road and other roads are combined into one road at the specific position. In the embodiment of the invention, the fact that one road extends outwards to form other roads is called divergence (split), the fact that one road and the other roads are combined into one road is called merge (merge), and the information of divergence or combination of the collected roads is called multi-directional departure information when the map data are collected. When road map generation is performed, a lane group unit containing multi-directional departure information in attribute information of a lane group unit of a road segment is called a departing lane group unit, and a road segment containing the departing lane group unit is called a departing road segment.

Specifically, the position of the deviated lane group unit is determined, and the modeling data of the deviated lane group unit is generated according to the lane vector data and the attribute information of the deviated lane group unit; according to the lane line information of each lane in the modeling data of the deviated lane group unit, performing bottom surface surrounding of each lane to obtain a bottom surface graph of each lane and performing triangulation to obtain bottom surface map drawing data of each lane; performing surface processing on shape points of lane lines of each lane of the deviated lane group unit to obtain lane line map drawing data of each lane of the deviated lane group unit; drawing the bottom map drawing data of each lane of the deviated lane group unit to generate the bottom of the deviated lane group unit; and drawing the lane lines of the deviated lane group unit on the bottom surface of the deviated lane group unit, generating the lane lines of each lane of the deviated lane group unit, and obtaining a deviated lane group unit map.

Because the lane of the real road Has a certain width in reality, when map data is collected, the center line of the lane is used as a virtual line to collect the shape point information of the lane center line, and the shape point information of the lane center line is called as the shape point information (Has Geometry) of the lane center line. When different roads are intersected, intersections of different forms such as crossroads, Y-shaped intersections or T-shaped intersections can occur, when map data are collected, because no Lane center line exists in the intersections, the shape point information of the Lane center line can not be collected, when structure cache data are generated, the intersections of the roads are used as independent Lane Group units called intersection Lane Group units (intersection Lane Group), and in the data compiling process, the shape information of the intersection Lane Group units can be stored in advance. In the road map generation process, when a map is drawn, intersection lane group units are required to be drawn independently.

After the vehicle line vector data and the attribute information of each lane group unit of the road segment are obtained, it can be determined whether the attribute information of each lane group unit of the road segment contains the lane central line shape point information, and if the attribute information of each lane group unit of the road segment contains the lane central line shape point information, the road map is generated by adopting the method described in the foregoing embodiment. If the attribute information of a certain lane group unit of the road segment does not contain the information of the shape point of the lane line, the lane group unit is an intersection lane group unit, and the intersection lane group unit needs to be drawn independently.

When the intersection lane group unit is subjected to map drawing, the junction of the intersection lane group unit and the adjacent lane group unit is subjected to road surface capping, specifically, when the edge line of the intersection is subjected to surface drawing processing according to the shape information of the intersection lane group unit, the shape surface of the edge line of the intersection is drawn into an arc line.

In some optional embodiments, since the real road in reality may have lane guide lines for marking road traffic indication information in some lanes, for example, turning arrows, stop lines or crosswalk lines. At the time of map data collection, the information of the lane guide line of the collected road is referred to as lane guide information. When generating a road map, it is necessary to draw a lane guide line on a lane.
