TomTom Navigation Integrated with Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform
06 Settembre 2019 - 07:00AM
IAA Frankfurt, Germany, September 6,
2019 TomTom (TOM2)
today revealed that its navigation has been integrated with the
Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform. Navigation usage and
diagnostics data can be sent from vehicles to Microsoft Azure where
the data can be used by automakers to generate data-driven insights
to deliver tailored services and to make better informed design and
engineering decisions. The location intelligence – which also
includes traffic information and HD map services – can also be used
in vehicles for navigation apps, as well as context while driving
autonomously.
Cees van Dok, Chief Product Officer, TomTom,
explains: “Our integration with the Microsoft Connected Vehicle
Platform means that automakers can get access to precise and
reliable navigation and driving behaviour data easily, while of
course adhering to privacy principles. This data could, for
instance, be used to predict the range of an electric vehicle based
on driving behaviour and planned route more accurately; or to work
out, based on navigation behaviour, what connectivity package for
online navigation would be best suited for a driver. This is a game
changer for OEMs.”
In December 2016, TomTom made its location-based
services available on Azure, and in February 2019, the two firms
announced that TomTom had been chosen as the location data provider
for mapping services across Microsoft solutions, including Azure
Maps, Bing, Cortana, Windows and future offerings.
Tara Prakriya, Partner Group Program Manager of
Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform and Mobility at Microsoft
comments: “With Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform serving as the
digital chassis of the car, telematics, infotainment, and data from
sensors are all connected to the cloud in the same way, effectively
solving the pain point of managing different systems for scale,
security, and reliability. We’re delighted to add navigation
intelligence data from TomTom to MCVP.”
Visitors to IAA Frankfurt can meet TomTom in Hall 8.0, booth
C39, while the Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform will be in Hall
5.0, booth C21.
