Berlin, Germany - HERE, the location cloud company, today announced a
significant step forward in efforts to drive a global standard for vehicle-to-
cloud data - a development which in turn brings the promise of automated
vehicles closer to reality.
Following successful months-long discussions with international automotive and
mapping companies in Europe, the U.S. and Asia, HERE has now submitted the
design for a universal data format called SENSORIS to ERTICO - ITS Europe, the
European public/private partnership for intelligent transport systems, which has
agreed to continue as an Innovation Platform to evolve it into a standardized
interface specification for use broadly across the automotive industry.
To date, 11 major automotive and supplier companies have already joined the
SENSORIS Innovation Platform now under the coordination of ERTICO. They are:
AISIN AW, Robert Bosch, Continental, Daimler, Elektrobit, HARMAN, HERE, LG
Electronics, NavInfo, PIONEER and TomTom. More organizations are expected to
join in the coming weeks.
SENSORIS was initiated by HERE in June 2015 when the company published the first
open specification for how vehicle sensor data gathered by connected cars could
be sent to the cloud for processing and analysis. Currently, vehicle sensor data
exists in multiple different formats across automakers.
HERE believes that pooling analogous vehicle data from millions of vehicles will
be a key enabler for highly and fully automated driving, ensuring that each
vehicle has a near real-time view of road conditions and hazards that can lead
to better driving decisions. HERE is developing the required location cloud
technology that can detect and process changes in the real world as they happen
- including on roads in dozens of countries - on an industrial scale and at high
quality. HERE is putting this infrastructure in place ahead of anticipated new
streams of vehicle sensor data it will be processing in its location platform in
future.
"Our goal was always to find a home for this specification that is open,
accessible to all and global. This is a vital step along the path to creating a
shared information network for safer roads," said Dietmar Rabel, head of
autonomous driving product management at HERE. "If a car around the next corner
hits the brakes because there's an obstruction, that information could be used
to signal to the drivers behind to slow down ahead of time, resulting in
smoother, more efficient journeys and a lower risk of accidents. But that can
only work if all cars can speak and understand the same language."
Hermann Meyer, Chief Executive Officer at ERTICO, said: "Defining a standardised
interface for exchanging information between the in-vehicle sensors and a
dedicated cloud as well as between clouds will enable broad access, delivery and
processing of vehicle sensor data; enable easy exchange of vehicle sensor data
between all players, and finally enable enriched location based services which
are key for mobility services as well as for automated driving."
"Standardized vehicle data exchange will enable the crowdsourcing paradigm to
spread across the fragmented automotive ecosystem, leveraging the synergies
between connectivity and sensor data to provide smart mobility services such as
real-time traffic, weather and parking spaces in the short term while holding
the promise to power self-driving cars with critical high accuracy real-time
mapping capabilities in the future," said Dominique Bonte, Managing Director and
Vice President, B2B ABI Research.
ERTICO - ITS Europe is a body which has a long track record of successfully
overseeing the development of globally-adopted standards relating to future
automotive and transportation technologies. This includes in particular ADASIS
(Advanced Driver Assistance Systems Interface Specifications), a forum that
defines how maps connect and interact with the advanced driver assistance
systems of a car. ADASIS was originally borne out of technology patented by HERE
in 1999 called 'Electronic Horizon', which enables a vehicle to, for example,
adapt cruise control or be more fuel efficient based on road attributes included
in a map, such as the slope and curvature of the road, traffic signs and lane
information.
