HERE and automotive industry leaders taking next steps to drive global standard for in-vehicle data
October 07 2015 - 10:10AM
HERE, a leader in mapping, navigation and location experiences,
along with participants from a dozen companies from the automotive
industry assembled yesterday in Auburn Hills, Michigan to continue
their joint efforts to drive a global standard for how in-vehicle
sensor data is transmitted to a location cloud. The aim of this
effort is to accelerate the development of automated driving and to
ensure that the results are available globally. Any interested
party can find out more and join here. The range of participants,
which included representatives from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford
Motor Company, General Motors Company, INRIX, Robert Bosch GmbH and
TomTom, demonstrates the importance of collaboration to further the
technological aspirations of the industry. The event follows a
successful initial gathering in Berlin this summer where 16
automotive, companies, system vendors and suppliers met to kick off
a discussion about establishing an interface that defines how
sensor data gathered by vehicles on the road can be ingested by the
cloud. As cars become connected to the Internet they will generate
tremendous amounts of data. The ability to share this data across
all car makers globally, while protecting driver privacy, is
essential to making automated driving a reality. With a standard
format for this data, modern vehicles can more easily transmit to
the cloud information about road conditions in real-time to improve
safety for drivers. The data generated would be analogous
regardless of vehicle manufacturer and could be pooled, processed
and analyzed quickly to create a detailed live view of traffic
conditions. "Connectivity is transforming the automotive industry
and soon cars will generate tremendous amounts of data that can be
used to reduce the number of accidents and congestion on the
roads," said Ogi Redzic, Senior Vice President of Automotive at
HERE. "An accident free future becomes more likely when as many
industry players as possible around the world can work together to
help cars get the full picture of the road ahead." At the Auburn
Hills event participants discussed technical issues such as data
content, security, anonymization, technical accuracy and
efficiency. In addition participants addressed how best to hand
over the specification to a neutral standards body to ensure
cooperation among all industry players globally. HERE has already
had initial discussions with two leading standards organizations on
the swift handover of the initial proposed specification, which has
been made available through a creative commons license. "Our goal
is to find a home for this specification that is open, accessible
to all members and non-members and global," said Redzic. "This
data-focused initiative intended to enhance driving safety extends
beyond the collection, interpretation and integration of data to
the very process of collaboration that is redefining the purpose of
vehicle connectivity," said Roger Lanctot, Associate Director,
Strategy Analytics. "In the brave new connected
world facing the industry, car companies will for the first time
begin to share data for the greater collective good." On November
4, HERE will gather automotive companies from across Asia at an
event in Tokyo to further drive industry collaboration. To know
