Mapmaker AND announces collaboration and aims to redefine map making & fundamentally change the mapping industry
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Capelle aan den IJssel, the Netherlands - 11 September 2017 - AND is happy to
announce a collaboration with Continental, a leading first tier automotive
supplier, to enrich map and location data with sensor data collected from
vehicles. During the IAA Cars 2017, AND and Continental will present how their
Map Fusion and eHorizon Map Service leverage the complementary know-how and
assets of each other to improve and enrich AND's maps in order to add value to
automotive and other sectors.
Hugo van der Linde, CEO AND: "We are very excited to work together with
Continental. Continental will bring in the technology inside the car and
delivers the processed data via the eHorizon Map API to AND. AND will integrate
this data into first class premium maps. AND will deliver the data in real time
and incremental to support advanced driving systems. Further, with more than 30
years' experience in map licensing we also offer parties to monetize their probe
and sensor data."
Following the industry trend of more and more vehicles getting connected, AND
and Continental see significant business opportunities in working together, to
address the opportunities in the area of digital mapping. Continental brings
domain expertise in automotive control systems, cloud services, service
operations as well as location-based data analytics. AND brings expertise in
digital mapping, including map creation, maintenance and distribution.
Map and location-based use cases are innovation drivers for vehicle related
services in the areas of safety, eco-efficiency and comfort as well as automated
driving.
The conventional way of creating maps doesn't fulfill the requirements of these
modern functions and systems any more. Hence, AND uses Continental's eHorizon
Map Service and AND's Map Fusion technology to improve, update and enrich their
existing maps. As part of first tests, AND already retrieves crowd-sourced data
through the eHorizon Map API and integrates this data into its Map Fusion.
Following current tests, starting 2018 both companies will do further field
tests with commercial vehicle fleets with the objective to test Continental's
eHorizon Map Service technology combined with AND's Map Fusion technology. This
shall add value to customers within and outside of the automotive industry. This
value-add is generated by having more frequent map updates, as well as by adding
further attributes to AND's core maps.
