Definitions
- Fully or highly automated, e.g. autonomous or self-driven, driving systems are designed to operate a vehicle on the road either without or with low levels of driver interaction or other external controls.
- Autonomous driving systems require certainty in the position of and distance to geographic features surrounding the vehicle with a sufficient degree of accuracy to adequately control the vehicle. Details about the road or other geographic features surrounding the vehicle can be recorded on a detailed virtual map. The more accurate the detailed virtual map, the better the performance of the autonomous driving system.
- Existing virtual maps do not include sufficient or sufficiently accurate geographic feature details for optimized autonomous operation.
- the detailed map format described here can be used to represent the drivable area of a road, including the boundary locations of each lane, the exact width of each lane, and the location of the impassable borders of a given lane, such as curbs, medians, and islands.
- the detailed map format can also include information to support driving rules associated with a given lane of the road, to calculate the distance from any object within the map format to the boundary of a lane, and to identify other map features intersecting a lane, such as crosswalks and driveways.
- the highly detailed nature of this map format allows for improved control of a highly-automated or autonomous vehicle as well as for improved localization (exact positioning) of the autonomous vehicle in respect to the detailed map format.
- Each lane within the detailed map format can include lane segments formed of waypoints.
- the detailed map format disclosed can also include border segments formed of borderpoints. Information associated with these border segments and borderpoints includes border type and border color.
- An autonomous vehicle can be controlled to operate according to driving rules based on a given border type and border color associated with the detailed map format. Border segments can also be used to determine the distance to an edge of a lane for a given lane segment or the width of the lane at any point along the lane segment, providing for more accurate control of the autonomous vehicle than is possible using lane segments formed of waypoints alone.
- a computer-readable map format includes at least a lane segment and a border segment.
- the distance to an edge of the lane segment can be determined at any location along the lane segment by measuring a distance between the chosen location and a portion of the border segment closest to the location.
- the map format includes at least a lane segment and a plurality of border segments.
- a lane width of the lane segment can be determined at any location along the lane segment by measuring a distance between at least two of the plurality of border segments positioned proximate to and on opposite sides of the lane segment.

- a computer-readable, highly detailed map format for an autonomous vehicle includes information representing the geographical location, travel direction, and speed limit of lanes on a given road using lane segments formed of waypoints. Beyond this basic information, the detailed map format also includes the geographical location for the borders of each lane in the form of border segments formed of borderpoints. Information associated with the border segments and border points within the detailed map format can include the border type and border color, such that driving rules can be associated with the lane segments based on the closest border segments.
- the detailed map format can also include stop lines linked to the end of lanes at traffic intersections to better position the autonomous vehicle for entry into a traffic intersection and to indicate where the autonomous vehicle should stop at the traffic intersection. Crosswalks can also be included in the detailed map format and associated with safety rules to be followed when the autonomous vehicle approaches the crosswalk.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a computing device 100 , for example, for use with autonomous driving system.
- the computing device 100 can be any type of vehicle-installed, handheld, desktop, or other form of single computing device, or can be composed of multiple computing devices.
- the processing unit in the computing device can be a conventional central processing unit (CPU) 102 or any other type of device, or multiple devices, capable of manipulating or processing information.
- a memory 104 in the computing device can be a random access memory device (RAM) or any other suitable type of storage device.
- the memory 104 can include data 106 that is accessed by the CPU 102 using a bus 108 .
- the memory 104 can also include an operating system 110 and installed applications 112 , the installed applications 112 including programs that permit the CPU 102 to perform automated driving methods using the detailed map format described below.
- the computing device 100 can also include secondary, additional, or external storage 114 , for example, a memory card, flash drive, or any other form of computer readable medium.
- the installed applications 112 can be stored in whole or in part in the external storage 114 and loaded into the memory 104 as needed for processing.
- the computing device 100 can also be in communication with one or more sensors 116 .
- the sensors 116 can capture data and/or signals for processing by an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a dead-reckoning system, a global navigation satellite system (GNSS), a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system, a radar system, a sonar system, an image-based sensor system, or any other type of system capable of capturing information specific to the environment surrounding a vehicle for use in creating a detailed map format as described below, including information specific to objects such as features of the route being travelled by the vehicle or other localized position data and/or signals and outputting corresponding data and/or signals to the CPU 102 .
- IMU inertial measurement unit
- GNSS global navigation satellite system
- LIDAR light detection and ranging
- radar system a sonar system
- image-based sensor system or any other type of system capable of capturing information specific to the environment surrounding a vehicle for use in creating a detailed map format as described below, including information specific to objects such
- the sensors 116 can capture, at least, signals for a GNSS or other system that determines vehicle position and velocity and data for a LIDAR system or other system that measures vehicle distance from lane lines (e.g., route surface markings or route boundaries), obstacles, objects, or other environmental features including traffic lights and road signs.
- the computing device 100 can also be in communication with one or more vehicle systems 118 , such as vehicle braking systems, vehicle propulsions systems, etc.
- the vehicle systems 118 can also be in communication with the sensors 116 , the sensors 116 being configured to capture data indicative of performance of the vehicle systems 118 .
- FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of an autonomous vehicle 200 including the computing device 100 of FIG. 1 .
- the computing device 100 can be located within the vehicle 200 as shown in FIG. 2 or can be located remotely from the vehicle 200 in an alternate location (not shown). If the computing device 100 is located remotely from the vehicle 200 , the vehicle 200 can include the capability of communicating with the computing device 100 .
- the vehicle 200 can also include a plurality of sensors, such as the sensors 116 described in reference to FIG. 1 .
- One or more of the sensors 116 shown can be configured to capture the distance to objects within the surrounding environment for use by the computing device 100 to estimate position and orientation of the vehicle 200 , images for processing by an image sensor, vehicle position in global coordinates based on signals from a plurality of satellites, or any other data and/or signals that could be used to determine the current state of the vehicle or determine the position of the vehicle 200 in respect to its environment for use in either creating a detailed map format or comparing the vehicle's 200 position to the detailed map format. Recognized geographic features such as those described below can be used to build a detailed map format, and objects such as other vehicles can be recognized and excluded from the detailed map format.
- Map formats can be constructed using geographic features captured by the vehicle 200 such as lane lines and curbs proximate the vehicle 200 as it travels a route. These geographic features can be captured using the above described LIDAR system and/or cameras in combination with an algorithm such as random sample consensus (RANSAC) to find lines, record the position of the vehicle 200 , and collect data on position from a GNSS and/or an IMU. The captured geographic features can then be manipulated using a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technique to position all of the geographic features in relation to the vehicle's 200 position. Some of the geographic features can be categorized as lane borders, and lane centers can be determined based on the lane borders. Alternatively, map formats can be constructed using overhead images (e.g. satellite images) of geographic features traced by a map editor that allows selection of different categories for each geographic feature.
- RANSAC random sample consensus
- SLAM simultaneous localization and mapping
- FIG. 3 shows an example two-dimensional representation of a portion of a two-lane road 300 as represented within a detailed map format for use with the autonomous vehicle 200 of FIG. 2 .
- the two-lane road 300 in this example map format includes lanes 302 , 304 .
- Each of the lanes 302 , 304 can include a lane segment 306 , 308 .
- Each of the lane segments 306 , 308 can extend between at least two waypoints 310 , 312 , 314 , 316 , for example, the lane segment 306 extends between the waypoints 310 , 312 and the lane segment 308 extends between the waypoints 314 , 316 .
- each waypoint 310 , 312 , 314 , 316 can include information such as geographical location, lane speed, and lane direction.
- the lane 302 is shown as having a left-to-right direction by arrows touching the waypoints 310 , 312 and the lane 304 is shown as having a right-to-left direction by arrows touching the waypoints 314 , 316 .
- the overall computer-readable map format can be stored in plain text, binary, or xml, for example.
- the basic map information can be gathered from a route network definition file (RNDF) or any other available source. However, this basic map information is not sufficient for control of the autonomous vehicle 200 .
- RNDF route network definition file
- each of the lanes 302 , 304 can be further associated with borders.
- Each of the borders can be formed of one or more border segments 318 , 320 , 322 .
- Each of the border segments 318 , 320 , 322 can extend between at least two borderpoints 324 , 326 , 328 , 330 , 332 , 334 .
- the border segment 318 extends between the borderpoints 324 , 326 and the border segment 322 extends between the borderpoints 332 , 334 .
- each borderpoint 324 , 326 , 328 , 330 , 332 , 334 can include information such as geographical location, border type, and border color.
- the information associated with each borderpoint 324 , 326 , 328 , 330 , 332 , 334 can be used by the autonomous vehicle 200 in order to determine navigation routes, make decisions regarding passing other vehicles, position or localize the autonomous vehicle 200 in respect to the border segments 318 , 320 , 322 , and determine the driveable area along a given navigation route in order to support safety maneuvers or obstacle tracking.
- the information associated with each borderpoint 324 , 326 , 328 , 330 , 332 , 334 can, for example, be built from data collected using a LIDAR sensor and manipulated using a SLAM technique when building the detailed map as describe above.
- the map information associated with the borders and lanes 302 , 304 can be stored, for example, in the form of spline points or as curves with knot vectors in the memory 104 of the computing device 100 or can be available from a remote location.
- Examples of different border types that can be associated with the borderpoints 324 , 326 , 328 , 330 , 332 , 334 can include a “curb,” a “single solid line,” a “double solid line,” a “single dashed line,” a “combined dashed line and solid line,” and “no line.”
- the borderpoints 324 , 326 and hence the border segment 318 extending between them can be associated with a “single solid line” border type.
- borderpoints 324 , 326 are shown with an open circle representation and the border segment 318 is shown using a thin, solid line representation.
- border segment 320 extending between the borderpoints 328 , 330 can be associated with a “double solid line” border type.
- the partially-shown border segments 336 , 338 can be associated with a “combined dashed line and solid line” border type.
- border color can also be associated with the borderpoints 324 , 326 , 328 , 330 , 332 , 334 .
- border colors can include “yellow,” “white,” or “unknown.”
- Border types and border colors can be used to associate a driving rule with each of the various lane segments 306 , 308 (and/or with the waypoints 310 , 312 , 314 , 316 forming the lane segments 306 , 308 ).
- a driving rule can be based at least in part on the border type and the border color associated with the borderpoints 324 , 326 , 328 , 330 , 332 , 334 and border segments 318 , 318 , 322 , closest to the lane segment 306 , 308 .
- two driving rules can be associated with lane segment 306 : first, a driving rule of “no passing border” based on the border segment 320 extending between the borderpoints 328 , 330 given that the border segment 320 can be associated with a border type of “double solid line” and a border color of “yellow;” second, a driving rule of “drivable lane border” based on the border segment 318 extending between the borderpoints 324 , 326 given that the border segment 318 can be associated with a border type of “single solid line” and a border color of “white.”
- the border types, border colors, and driving rules described in reference to FIG. 3 reflect commonly understood traffic rules in the United States, other traffic rules, border types, border colors, and driving rules are also possible.
- Another benefit of storing information for both lane segments 306 , 308 and border segments 318 , 320 , 322 in the map format is that the distance to an edge of the lane segment 306 , 308 can be determined at any location along the lane segment 306 , 308 by measuring a distance between the location and a portion of the border segment 318 , 320 , 322 closest to the location.
- the autonomous vehicle 200 can be positioned within, for example, either of the lanes 302 , 304 at an optimum spacing based on the actual geographical location, border color, and border type of the border segment 318 , 320 , 322 instead of relying on fixed lane widths associated only with waypoints 324 , 326 , 328 , 330 , 332 , 334 . Knowing the actual distance to an edge of the lane segment 306 , 308 leads to greater maneuverability of the autonomous vehicle 200 . Further, the ability to localize the autonomous vehicle 200 is improved because the border segments 318 , 320 , 322 as stored within the detailed map format can be matched to images of lane borders or other geographic features captured during autonomous operation of vehicle 200 .
- border segments 318 , 320 , 322 can be positioned both proximate to and on opposite sides of a given lane segment 306 , 308 .
- a lane width of the lane segment 306 , 308 can be determined at a chosen location along the lane segment 306 , 308 by measuring the distance between the two border segments 318 , 320 , 322 positioned proximate to and on opposite sides of the lane segment 306 , 308 .
- the lane width for lane 302 can be calculated anywhere along lane segment 306 by measuring the distance between border segments 318 , 320 within the map format. Again, knowing the actual lane width at any point along the lane 302 , 304 is beneficial both for overall positioning and maneuvering of the autonomous vehicle 200 . The positioning benefit is further described in reference to FIG. 4 .
- FIG. 4 shows an example two-dimensional representation of a portion of a four-lane road transitioning to a five-lane road 400 at an intersection as represented within a detailed map format for use with the autonomous vehicle 200 of FIG. 2 .
- the five-lane road 400 in this example map format includes lanes 402 , 404 , 406 , 408 , 410 .
- Each of the lanes 402 , 404 , 406 , 408 , 410 can include a lane segment 412 , 414 , 416 , 418 , 420 .
- Each of the lane segments 412 , 414 , 416 , 418 , 420 can extend between at least two waypoints 422 , 424 , 426 , 428 , 430 , 432 , 434 , 436 , 438 , 440 , for example, the lane segment 416 extends between the waypoints 430 , 432 and the lane segment 420 extends between the waypoints 438 , 440 .
- the lanes 402 , 404 , 406 proceed in a left-to-right direction as indicated by the arrows associated with the waypoints 422 , 424 , 426 , 428 , 430 , 432 and the lanes 408 , 410 proceed in a right-to-left direction as indicated by the arrows associated with the waypoints 434 , 436 , 438 , 440 .
- Each of the lanes 402 , 404 , 406 , 408 , 410 can be further associated with borders formed of one or more border segments extending between at least two borderpoints. For simplicity, only a few of the border segments and borderpoints are numbered on the example map format of the road 400 of FIG. 4 .
- border segment 442 extends between borderpoints 444 , 446 and border segment 448 extends between borderpoints 450 , 452 .
- border segments 442 , 448 are associated with lane segments 412 , 414 , respectively. As described in respect to FIG. 3 , the border segments 442 , 448 and borderpoints 444 , 446 , 450 , 452 can be associated with various border types and border colors for use in establishing driving rules.
- the border segments 442 , 448 can be associated with the “curb” border type, which is represented within the detailed map format using a dotted, hashed line type.
- the borderpoints 444 , 446 , 452 are represented using filled circles, and together, the borderpoints 444 , 446 , 452 and border segments 442 , 448 indicate an “impassable” driving rule.
- the driving rule indicated is “impassable,” the autonomous vehicle 200 is controlled in a manner such that the vehicle 200 will not attempt to navigate beyond the border.
- the borderpoint 450 is represented using a half-filled circle, indicating a transition in the border type from a “solid line” type to a “curb” type at the location of the borderpoint 450 .
- a median 464 is shown as present between lane 404 and lane 406 .
- the left-most part of the median 464 is bordered by border segments of solid lines associated with a “drivable lane border” driving rule and a “line” type border while the right-most part of the median 464 is bordered by border segments of dotted, hashed lines associated with an “impassable” driving rule and a “curb” type border. If necessary, the vehicle 200 could navigate across only the left-most part of the median 464 .
- FIG. 4 shows additional features added to the map format in order to improve the map format for use with the autonomous vehicle 200 of FIG. 2 .
- three of the lane segments 412 , 414 , 416 are associated with stop lines 454 , 456 near the traffic intersection (the traffic intersection being located on the right-most side of FIG. 4 ).
- the stop lines 454 , 456 can be linked to the end of one or more lanes 402 , 404 , 406 and information associated with the stop lines 454 , 456 can include a geographical location of a position where the vehicle 200 must stop before the traffic intersection.
- the stop line 456 extends between the border segments 442 , 448 , denoting the geographical location at which the autonomous vehicle 200 should be positioned if stopping in front of the traffic intersection within either of the lanes 402 , 404 .
- the additional information provided by the stop lines 454 , 456 is useful in operation of the autonomous vehicle 200 because the stop lines 454 , 456 allow the autonomous vehicle 200 to be positioned at the traffic intersection in a manner consistent with manual operation of a vehicle. For example, if the autonomous vehicle 200 approaches the traffic intersection within lane 402 , instead of stopping at the waypoint 424 denoting the end of the lane segment 412 , the autonomous vehicle 200 can be controlled to move forward to the stop line 456 and slightly around the corner of the lane 402 as denoted by the border segment 442 . This maneuver is more consistent with how a driver would manually operate a vehicle on the road 400 when making a right turn at a traffic intersection.
- crosswalks can also be included in the detailed map format in a manner similar to that used for the stop lines 454 , 456 .
- Information associated with the crosswalks can include a geographical location of a position of the crosswalk and a driving rule associated with the crosswalk that directs the automated vehicle system to implement additional safety protocols.
- Traffic signals are another feature present within the map format shown in FIG. 4 .
- Each traffic signal can include information such as geographical location, traffic signal type, and traffic signal state.
- Traffic signal type can include information on the structure and orientation of a traffic light or traffic sign.
- Traffic signal structure and orientation for a traffic light can include “vertical three,” “vertical three left arrow,” “horizontal three,” “right arrow,” etc.
- Traffic signal state for a traffic light can include, for example, “green,” “green arrow,” “yellow,” “blinking yellow,” or “red.”
- three traffic lights 458 , 460 , 462 are shown within the traffic intersection.
- traffic light 458 is associated with lane 402 , and given the structure of the intersection and the shape and type of the border segments proximate lane 402 , lane 402 is understood to be a right turn lane.
- traffic light 462 is associated with lane 406 , and given the structure of the intersection and shape and type of the border segments proximate lane 406 , lane 406 is understood to be a left turn lane.
- FIG. 5 shows an example two-dimensional representation of a roundabout 500 as represented within a detailed map format for use with the autonomous vehicle 200 of FIG. 2 .
- Maneuvering the autonomous vehicle 200 through the roundabout is greatly aided by the use of lane segments, border segments, and stop lines.
- medians 502 , 503 , 504 and center circle 505 can be identified using borderpoints and border segments and be associated with driving rules as “impassable” areas of the roundabout 500 .
- stop lines 506 , 508 , 510 can be used to indicate to the autonomous vehicle 200 the exact location where the autonomous vehicle 200 should stop before entering the roundabout 500 . As shown in FIG.
- stop line 510 indicates a position to the right and below the nearest waypoint within lane 512 .
- Using the stop line 510 to position the autonomous vehicle 200 at the entrance to the roundabout 500 is much closer to how a driver would operate a vehicle when compared to stopping the autonomous vehicle 200 at the final waypoint within the lane 512 .
