HERE convenes industry forum to discuss vehicle sensor data transmission specifications
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Participants agree common interface format is critical next step for autonomous
vehicle development
Berlin, Germany - HERE, a leader in mapping, navigation and location
experiences, recently brought together a diverse group of automotive companies,
system vendors and suppliers to discuss the establishment of an interface format
for how in-vehicle sensor data is transmitted to a location cloud. Modern
vehicles collect vast sums of information on road and traffic conditions through
onboard sensors, all of which can be utilized to improve the safety and
experience of nearby drivers, such as real-time map updates and alerts on
traffic or hazardous conditions ahead. If vehicles transmit sensor data in
different formats, however, the ability for a cloud to efficiently aggregate and
analyze the data at scale is lost and benefits to the driver become less
realized.
During the forum held at HERE in Berlin, Germany, participants representing 16
companies agreed the industry must define a format in which vehicle sensor data
is ingested by a location cloud. Additionally, participants discussed a range of
technical issues, including data content, security, anonymization, and
transmission accuracy and efficiency based on the ingestion interface
specification recently published by HERE.
"The ability to transmit in real-time sensor data across different vehicles on
the road requires deep industrywide collaboration," said Dietmar Rabel, head of
product management for the automated driving program at HERE. "But when we do,
the result should be fewer accidents and more efficient journeys, as well as
moving the industry closer to its aspiration for cars that can fully understand
their environment and drive themselves."
A recent forecast by automotive technology research firm SBD predicts that, by
2020, over 30 million vehicles will be sold annually with built-in connectivity,
generating more than 163 million terabytes of data each year via their dozens of
on-board cameras and sensor technologies.
"As more connected vehicles come to market, Continental looks forward to
participating in the industry's effort to define how vehicle sensor data gets
transmitted and processed. This is important for Continental's eHorizon project
where we merge data from different car makers in a backend. The discussions at
this forum were incredibly robust, key issues to address were identified - such
as how to transmit accurate sensor information given that every OEM will have
different sensors on board - and I believe we now have a solid foundation for
our work ahead," said Ronald Hain, head of back-end development team at
Continental who participated in the forum.
The creation of a common specification for in-vehicle sensor data is
prerequisite to an industry standard, following a similar approach taken by HERE
and its industry peers to usher in ADAS Interface Specification. In the upcoming
weeks and months HERE will re-engage industry peers across the globe to
establish a formal working group on sensor ingestion standardization.
