Abstract

A method for dynamically computing a handrail influence intensity factor includes the steps of identifying a current location of a vehicle, retrieving map data of an area corresponding to the current location of the vehicle, identifying a current road of the vehicle based on the map data and the current location of the vehicle, determining at least one of one or more roads that intersect the current road and one or more roads closest to the current road, retrieving a vehicle heading for the vehicle, determining a set of candidate roads, determining a relative target heading for each candidate road in the set of candidate roads, calculating a handrail influence intensity factor based on a distance between the current location of the vehicle and a closest point on each candidate road and based on a difference between the vehicle heading and the relative target heading for each candidate road.
