  1. 11. Robust Route Prediction in Raster Maps - Real Time Topography for Look-Ahead Control

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Sebastian Fabian; [2016]
    Keywords : raster map; route prediction; data structure; embedded; automotive; heat map; GIS; topography; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : By adapting gear changes and cruise control of a Heavy Duty Vehicle (HDV) to road inclination, fuel and time savings can be achieved. In this thesis is presented a novel method of predicting the upcoming road topography, by constructing a geographical and topographical self-learning map from which a route prediction is made.
