Generating traffic information by interpretation of traffic sign scenarios and navigation information in a vehicle

摘要

The method involves acquiring information relating to road signs, in synchronism with the current movement on the road, from navigation systems, camera or video-based sensors, or from transponder-based sensors. The road signs are evaluated according to criteria selected from a group including: relevance, priority of instructions, geometry and topology of the roadway and road users. Traffic instructions are generated according to the evaluation and indicated to the driver. An independent claim is included for a computer-assisted driver assistance system.
