Abstract
A system for determining a road type includes processing circuitry configured to receive information from a plurality of sensors. The information corresponds to one or more of operation of a host vehicle and an environment surrounding the host vehicle. Additionally, the system determines whether one or more of the plurality of sensors detects an off highway event, classifies the road type as a local road in response to one or more of the plurality of sensors detecting an off highway event, determines whether the speed of the host vehicle is greater than a first predetermined speed for a first predetermined amount of time, and classifies the road type as a limited access highway in response to the speed of the host vehicle being greater than the first predetermined speed for the first predetermined amount of time.
