Tele Atlas is meeting the demand for ADAS systems with Tele Atlas ADAS.
Tele Atlas ADAS, unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, includes gradient, road curvature and ADAS-quality geometry that can be used to create a variety of ADAS-level applications, including eco-routing, adaptive cruise control, energy management, headlight steering, road preview and curve warning. These solutions are highly valuable to drivers. They can issue speed warnings if a vehicle is going too fast for an upcoming curve, improve the performance of Cruise Control and Automatic Cruise Control to take into account upcoming curves and off-ramps, or improve fuel economy by using information about hills and real world speeds to manage energy usage.
The development of ADAS quality applications has traditionally been restricted by the high cost of data collection. Tele Atlas’ strategy is to combine four different data collection techniques, including anonymous community input from the largest GPS data collection community in the world, to create high quality ADAS products. Tele Atlas ADAS is the first product to use this approach and provides 10 separate quality levels, most of which exceed the standard ADAS accuracy specification. Tele Atlas maps also set the new standard for map accuracy for geometry alignment, with community input helping the company perfect its maps worldwide to the highest industry standards. This real world data allows Tele Atlas customers to develop solutions that help drivers navigate with safe and efficient guidance on more roads, and with greater accuracy, than ever before.
Tele Atlas ADAS provides an array of attributes on a much larger selection of roadways than previously possible, with coverage on major roads and in large metropolitan areas as well as on smaller roads where most serious accidents occur. It is now available in pilot release and includes high level road coverage across 19 countries: the United States, Canada, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom, Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Thailand.
