Abstract

A data processing method and apparatus, applied to the field of electronic maps. Coverage information of a roadside device is stored in a map, so that content of the map is enriched, and the map can meet a higher-level use requirement of a user. The coverage information includes coverage region information that indicates at least one coverage region of the roadside device and coverage capability information that indicates a coverage capability of the roadside device in the at least one coverage region. The coverage information can be used to generate a control signal for controlling a vehicle, so that safety of autonomous driving or assisted driving can be improved.
