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.
