Highly automated vehicles rely on high-definition maps to ensure both safety and comfort of their passengers while driving. The maps provide a centimetre-accurate representation of the surrounding infrastructure to the car and ease tasks like localisation and object recognition by providing comparable reference material. Maintaining the maps with updates for the current traffic situation (e.g.traffic jams or construction work) is a challenging task. In the German government-funded research project Cooperative Highly Automated Driving (Ko-HAF) it is investigated to what extend vehicle sensors can be used to update these kinds of maps. In this work we present our obtained results and investigate the requirements for the cellular network infrastructure required for highly automated driving. To the best of our knowledge this work is one of the first that provides this correlation between data requirements and network infrastructure capabilities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
