As an alternative to expensive road surveys, we are working toward a method to infer the road network from GPS data logged from regular vehicles. One of the most important components of this problem is to find road intersections. We introduce an intersection detector that uses a localized shape descriptor to represent the distribution of GPS traces around a point. A classifier is trained on the...

This paper proposes a novel image-processing algorithm to recognize the lane-curve of a structured road. The proposed algorithm uses an lane-curve function (LCF) obtained by the transformation of the defined parabolic function on the world coordinates into the image coordinates. Unlike other existing methods, this algorithm needs no transformation of the image pixels into the world coordinates....

For nearly 20 years, looking at the tangent point on the road edge has been prominent in models of visual orientation in curve driving. It is the most common interpretation of the commonly observed pattern of car drivers looking through a bend, or at the apex of the curve. Indeed, in the visual science literature, visual orientation towards the inside of a bend has become known as "tangent poin...

Parametric cubic spline curves are commonly used to model the geometry of road surfaces in real-time driving simulators. Roads are represented by space curves that define a curvilinear frame of reference in which three-dimensional points are expressed in coordinates of distance along the curve, offset from the central axis, and loft from the road surface. Simulators must map from global Cartesi...

In Minnesota, 70 percent of all intersection-related fatal crashes for the period of 2006 to 2008 occurred at rural, through/stop intersections [1]. The Minnesota Department of Transportation identified improving the design and operation of intersections as a critical emphasis area in the Minnesota Comprehensive Highway Safety Plan [2]. At these intersections, sight restrictions caused by verti...
