METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A STEERING RELIABILITY MAP BASED ON DRIVEN CURVATURES AND GEOMETRY CURVATURE

摘要

An approach is provided for comparing experienced curvatures with geometry-based curvatures to identify road environments. The approach involves causing, at least in part, an aggregation of a plurality of curvature samples collected from one or more vehicles traversing one or more travel segments. The approach also involves processing and/or facilitating a processing of the curvature samples to determine at least one experienced curvature for the one or more travel segments. The approach further involves determining at least one geometry-based curvature for the one or more travel segments. The approach also involves determining one or more differences between at least one experienced curvature and the at least one geometry-based curvature.

1. A method for operating an autonomous vehicle based on road curvature data comprising:
collecting, by respective sensors of one or more vehicles, a plurality of curvature samples when the one or more vehicles travel one or more travel segments; processing the plurality of curvature samples to determine respective driving paths of the one or more vehicles through the one or more travel segments, wherein the respective driving paths represent an experienced curvature for the one or more travel segments; calculating a geometry-based curvature for the one or more travel segments based on road-geometry data; and initiating or recommending an autonomous operation of the autonomous vehicle traveling the one or more travel segments based the experienced curvature, or based on a combination of the geometry-based curvature and the experienced curvature.
