TomTom Collaborates with HELLA Aglaia for Real-Time HD Map Updating
September 05 2019 - 1:00AM
IAA Frankfurt, Germany, September 5,
2019 TomTom (TOM2),
the location technology specialist, and HELLA Aglaia, a global
supplier of computer vision software to the automotive industry,
today announced a collaboration to move towards updating the TomTom
High Definition (HD Map) in real time using crowdsourced camera
data from vehicles. TomTom’s HD Map is a critical component for
safe and comfortable autonomous driving.
As part of the collaboration, HELLA Aglaia will
use AutoStream – TomTom’s innovative map delivery system – to
access the latest TomTom HD Map on demand and will use the HD Map
in the vehicle for accurate localization. In addition, HELLA Aglaia
will share processed camera data to TomTom's cloud-based mapping
system for autonomous driving, updating the TomTom HD Map in real
time. This will be achieved by generating crowdsourced map updates
called Roadagrams which are used to ensure the HD Map reflects the
reality of the road. TomTom AutoStream then delivers the updated
map data back to the vehicle. The technology will be demonstrated
to automakers and Tier 1s by the end of the year.
Willem Strijbosch, Head of Autonomous Driving,
TomTom, said: “We believe that an up-to-date HD map is critical for
safe and comfortable autonomous driving. By joining forces with
HELLA Aglaia we are offering automakers and Tier 1s the possibility
to move towards faster TomTom HD Map updates. We’re proud to be
working with them to serve their European and global
customers.”
Kay Talmi, Managing Director at HELLA Aglaia,
added: “By achieving compatibility between TomTom’s cloud-based
mapping service and Aglaia’s in-vehicle camera software we will be
able to offer automakers a new option for HD Map updates from their
fleet while keeping the flexibility of our software-only-solution
which easily scales from ADAS to automated driving.”
Visitors to IAA Frankfurt can meet TomTom in
Hall 8, booth C39.
