Infrastructure Assisted Environment Perception

Data Distribution about Objects on the Road in Form of Object Lists or Occupancy Grids

Automated vehicles rely on information from sensors installed on the road to detect objects and make driving decisions. When an automated vehicle enters an area covered by these sensors, it can subscribe to an infrastructure service that provides information about the environment. This includes updates about the location, speed, direction, and size of objects on the road such as other vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles. This information is transmitted frequently and contains rolling IDs for each vehicle to quickly identify them on the map.

By using this data, an automated vehicle can improve its own sensors‘ accuracy and extend its viewing range. This means that the car can better understand the road ahead and make more informed driving decisions. Overall, this helps to create a smoother and safer driving experience.
