ROAD SEGMENT SELECTION ALONG A ROUTE TO BE TRAVELLED BY A VEHICLE

The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a route planning system (1) of a vehicle (2) for road segment selection along a route to be travelled by the vehicle. The route planning system determines (1001) with support from a positioning system (22), a geolocation of the vehicle in view of a digital map (3). The route planning system further identifies (1002) in the digital map based on the vehicle geolocation, an upcoming road junction (51) which the vehicle is approaching and/or is located at, which upcoming road junction comprises two or more upcoming road segments (41). Moreover, the route planning system derives (1003) traffic information data (6) applicable for a map area of the digital map covering a plurality of road segments (4) including the two or more upcoming road segments. Furthermore, the route planning system selects (1004) a road segment (410) out of the two or more upcoming road segments by feeding one or more parameters related to the traffic information data and one or more parameters related to the vehicle geolocation through a neural network trained to select the road segment rendering greatest extent of travelling within one or more set Operational Design Domain, ODD, requirements. [0002] The disclosure also relates to a route planning system in accordance with the foregoing, a vehicle comprising such a route planning system, and a respective corresponding computer program product and non-volatile computer readable storage medium.
