The present invention is an apparatus and a method for populating a geospatial road database. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a geospatial database management system is mounted on a host vehicle and manages geospatial data relating to a travel path for the host vehicle. The embodiment further comprises a geospatial database to store data elements indicative of objects and their location. The embodiment further comprises a database manager component to maintain the geospatial database and receive database queries from a driver assist subsystem. The embodiment further comprises a database developer component is configured to develop the data elements in the geospatial database and receive database inputs from a lane level digitizer subsystem configured to receive inputs from a plurality of sensors mounted on the host vehicle. Finally, the embodiment comprises the plurality of sensors may include a Digital Global Positioning System, a digital camera, and a scanning range sensor. The present invention includes a method for implementing the steps performed by the embodiment of the apparatus.       Recently Added Patents Retinal function measurement apparatus Semiconductor device Lubricating oil composition for internal combustion engine System, method, and computer program product for preventing communication of unwanted network traffic by holding only a last portion of the network traffic Computer Dimmable LED bulb with heatsink having perforated ridges Multibeam x-ray source with intelligent electronic control systems and related methods   Randomly Featured Patents Method of marking a thin film package Pneumatic actuating device for a toilet flush valve Electro-optic filter for vehicle imaging system Distributor with inline blockshaped inline connector components Power on and low voltage reset circuit Cache memory, computer system and memory access method Ultra wide band device and detect-and-avoid method thereof Analog boundary scanning based on stray capacitance Double talk detector Image input system based on finger collation © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
