Disclosed herein is a technique for processing map change data in a map client that uses the map changes to apply changes and updates to current map data. The map client provides the updated map data to other components in an autonomous vehicle. The map change data describes the processing in the map client to obtain updated map data from the map data.

Updating map features in high definition map data using map change data

A method of generating a junction view is disclosed. The method includes, in at least one embodiment:&#x2014;acquiring a first junction from a map database;&#x2014;acquiring a second junction from the map database, wherein the first and second junction are connected by way of an intermediate road segment;&#x2014;determining a characteristic of the intermediate road segment between the first and second junction from the map database; and&#x2014;if the characteristic of the road segment applies to a predefined condition:&#x2014;adjusting the road geometry resulting in a shorter intermediate road segment; and&#x2014;generating the junction view image visualizing the first and second junction using the shorter intermediate road segment. At least one embodiment of the method provides a solution to visualize in one image two decision points which will follow each other in a short time when traveling through the two decision points, i.e. two junctions.
