Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and apparatus for collecting data. The method can include: receiving a map data collection instruction for a target road segment; dividing the target road segment to obtain at least one sub-road segment; and sending information of the at least one sub-road segment to at least one collection vehicle, to cause the at least one collection vehicle to collect map data of the at least one sub-road segment.

Claims (40)

1 . A method for collecting data, comprising:

receiving a map data collection instruction for a target road segment;

dividing the target road segment to obtain at least one sub-road segment; and

sending information of the at least one sub-road segment to at least one collection vehicle, to cause the at least one collection vehicle to collect map data of the at least one sub-road segment.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dividing the target road segment to obtain at least one sub-road segment includes:

determining a length of the target road segment; and

dividing the target road segment according to the length of the target road segment, to obtain the at least one sub-road segment, a length of the sub-road segment being less than a first preset value.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the target road segment includes at least one road crossing point, and

the dividing the target road segment to obtain at least one sub-road segment includes:

dividing the target road segment according to the at least one road crossing point in the target road segment, to obtain the at least one sub-road segment, a number of road crossing points included in the sub-road segment being less than a second preset value.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sending information of the at least one sub-road segment to at least one collection vehicle includes:

acquiring a driving route of the at least one collection vehicle, to obtain at least one driving route;

using, in response to determining a driving route of the at least one driving route including a sub-road segment of the at least one sub-road segment, a collection vehicle corresponding to the driving route including the sub-road segment of the at least one sub-road segment as a target collection vehicle; and

sending information of the sub-road segment included in the driving route to the target collection vehicle.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

acquiring the map data collected by the at least one collection vehicle; and

generating, according to the map data, an electronic map for the target road segment.

6 . An apparatus for collecting data, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions, the instructions when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

receiving a map data collection instruction for a target road segment;

dividing the target road segment to obtain at least one sub-road segment; and

sending information of the at least one sub-road segment to at least one collection vehicle, to cause the at least one collection vehicle to collect map data of the at least one sub-road segment.

7 . The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the dividing the target road segment to obtain at least one sub-road segment includes:

determining a length of the target road segment; and

dividing the target road segment according to the length of the target road segment, to obtain the at least one sub-road segment, a length of the sub-road segment being less than a first preset value.

8 . The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the target road segment includes at least one road crossing point, and

the dividing the target road segment to obtain at least one sub-road segment includes:

dividing the target road segment according to the at least one road crossing point in the target road segment, to obtain the at least one sub-road segment, a number of road crossing points included in the sub-road segment being less than a second preset value.

9 . The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the sending information of the at least one sub-road segment to at least one collection vehicle includes:

acquiring a driving route of the at least one collection vehicle, to obtain at least one driving route;

using, in response to determining a driving route of the at least one driving route including a sub-road segment of the at least one sub-road segment, a collection vehicle corresponding to the driving route including the sub-road segment of the at least one sub-road segment as a target collection vehicle; and

sending information of the sub-road segment included in the driving route to the target collection vehicle.

10 . The apparatus according to claim 6 , the operations further comprising:

acquiring the map data collected by the at least one collection vehicle; and

generating, according to the map data, an electronic map for the target road segment.

11 . A non-transitory computer readable medium, storing a computer program, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

receiving a map data collection instruction for a target road segment;

dividing the target road segment to obtain at least one sub-road segment; and

sending information of the at least one sub-road segment to at least one collection vehicle, to cause the at least one collection vehicle to collect map data of the at least one sub-road segment.
