Abstract

Vehicle control using map-based braking includes receiving, while a driver is operating the vehicle to traverse a vehicle transportation network, vehicle operation information including at least a current speed of the vehicle, retrieving, from a planned path of an in-vehicle navigation system, an upcoming turn in a current road when the driver is using the in-vehicle navigation system, and retrieving from map data, the upcoming turn in the current road when the driver is not using tin-vehicle navigation system. Thereafter, it is determined whether, during the upcoming turn, wheels of the vehicle will maintain contact with a road surface at the current speed. A braking instruction is issued to a control system of the vehicle responsive to whether the wheels of the vehicle will maintain contact with the road surface at the current speed.
