Method for creating and updating map information for use in driver assistance system in motor vehicle, involves determining attribute from driving history data, which is assigned defined route section determined by route section information

摘要

The method involves continuously detecting (S1) the driving history data, which indicates the vehicle positions, over which the vehicle is moving. The road section information is determined (S3) from the driving history data, which indicates the course of a route section in a route network. The map information is created (S5) or updated (S6), which describes a route network based on the route section information. An attribute is determined (S7) from the driving history data, which is assigned a defined route section determined by the route section information. The attribute is added to the defined route section of the map information, or the attribute assigned to the defined route section of the map information is updated based on the determined attribute. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) a system for creating and updating map information, particularly for use in a navigation system or in a driver assistance system in a motor vehicle; (2) a computer program with a program code medium for executing on a computer or a corresponding computing unit for creating and updating map information; and (3) a computer program product with a program code stored on a computer readable medium for creating and updating map information when executed on a data processing device.
