Abstract

This document describes techniques, apparatuses, and systems for standard-definition (SD) to high-definition (HD) navigation route determination. An example route builder receives a navigation route generated for a host vehicle. The navigation route includes a list of waypoints generated by an SD map database. The route builder matches the list of waypoints to lane geometry data maintained in an HD map database and outputs HD navigation route to a vehicle controller. The HD navigation route includes the list of waypoints, additional waypoints, and lane geometry data. The vehicle controller can then operate the host vehicle in a roadway environment along the HD navigation route. In this way, the described techniques and systems can provide HD navigation routes required by some assisted-driving and autonomous-driving systems based on SD navigation routes.
