Abstract
A system that enables a vehicle to follow a traffic rule when traveling in a road network includes a database that stores data relating to at least one feature of the road network, a location detector that detects a location of the vehicle relative to the road network, a sensor that senses at least one object in a vicinity of the vehicle, and a processing system that controls the vehicle to autonomously obey at least one traffic rule, or provides a notification to a driver of the vehicle to enable the driver to obey at least one traffic rule, based on the detected location of the vehicle, data retrieved from the database relating to at least one feature of the road network, and data relating to at least one object sensed by the sensor.
