Automatic generation of a highly accurate map for driver assistance systems in road construction sites

Road construction sites often are the reason for traffic jams and accidents due to the reduced road width. Driver assistance systems for these demanding environments highly benefit from a digital representation of the road layout. This digital map includes all important infrastructure elements, such as barriers, temporary road markings and guiding reflector posts. The paper describes the automatic generation of a detailed and highly accurate “Road Work Map” using video camera and laser scanners.
