Navigation maps provide critical information for advanced driving assistance systems and autonomous vehicles. When these maps are refined to lane-level, ambiguities may occur during the map-matching process, particularly when positioning estimates are inaccurate. This paper presents a dead-reckoning method implementing a particle filter to estimate a set of likely map-matched hypotheses containing the correct solution with a high probability. Our method uses lane-level maps that feature dedicated attributes such as connectedness and adjacency. The vehicle position is essentially estimated by dead-reckoning sensors and lane detection using an intelligent camera. We also describe an integrity monitoring method for assessing the coherence of the set of hypotheses, using the fix of a global navigation satellite system receiver. The method provides in real-time a “Use/Don’t Use” characterization of the vehicle positioning information that is transmitted to safety functions, where integrity is fundamental. The performance of the proposed map-aided dead-reckoning method with integrity monitoring is evaluated using data acquired by an experimental car on suburban public roads. The results obtained validate the approach.
