Detecting restrictions on turning paths in digital maps

A method comprises identifying, in an electronic map, road data and intersection data, wherein the intersection data specifies an approach and two or more exits from the approach, bounding the approach using a bounding box around the entrance to an approach, identifying, using the bounding box, trac...

More Information
Summary:A method comprises identifying, in an electronic map, road data and intersection data, wherein the intersection data specifies an approach and two or more exits from the approach, bounding the approach using a bounding box around the entrance to an approach, identifying, using the bounding box, traces associated with the approach, wherein each trace identifies a path of a vehicle on one or more of the roads, for each trace of the plurality of traces, identifying which of the two or more exits most closely matches the particular trace, generating histograms based on a time period and which of the two or more exits most closely matches each trace of the plurality of traces, determining, using the histograms, whether one or more threshold values associated with one of the two or more exits is satisfied, sending a notification signal when the one or more threshold values is satisfied.
