Title:
MAP INFORMATION GENERATION APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING MAP INFORMATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/097445
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
When a new road is detected, a road information acquisition unit (720) acquires road information related to the new road, and an environment information acquisition unit (730) acquires environment information about the new road. Then, an updated map generation unit (740A) determines eligibility for additional registration of the new road to the map in a storage unit (710A), on the basis of information about the amount of pedestrian activity included in the environment information, information about road markers, and the like. On the basis of the determination of eligibility, if the new road is determined to be eligible for registration, the updated map generation unit (740A) generates road registration information related to the new road on the basis of the road information, and adds the generated road registration information to the map information in the storage unit (710A). As a result, when registering information about new roads to the map, registration of roads for which an increase in the traffic amount is undesirable is logically and effectively excluded.
