Hitachi Automotive Systems Americas, Inc. and TomTom (TOM2), the
location technology specialist, today announced that they are
collaborating on a proof of concept for the development of a new
real-time hazard service for navigation and Advanced Driver
Assistance Systems (ADAS).
Through the collaboration, the companies will
combine technological strengths to deliver real-time updates on the
location of road hazards, detected by Hitachi Automotive Systems’
vehicle sensors, ECU (Engine Control Unit) and on-board DNN (Deep
Neural Network), to navigation and ADAS applications running
TomTom’s connected services.
Hitachi Automotive Systems Americas will use its
in-car sensor and edge processor technology to detect potholes and
road debris, process that information, and send it to its cloud.
This information is transferred to TomTom’s cloud-based fusion
engine, currently used for its industry leading traffic data
service – TomTom Traffic. TomTom would then deliver the hazard
information to all navigation and ADAS applications running
TomTom’s connected services in the same manner it delivers its
traffic data, helping drivers make better decisions that save time,
reduce stress and create safer roads.
“We’re excited that together with TomTom, we are
helping to build a smart cities ecosystem,” said John Nunneley,
Design Engineering SVP, Hitachi Automotive Systems Americas,
Inc. “This solution will give vehicles the intelligence to
detect, distribute and leverage real-time road condition data with
other vehicles and municipalities to minimize delays, increase
safety, and execute repairs.”
“Developing innovative real-time hazard services
for navigation and automated driving will ultimately create a safer
and less congested world, which is exactly what TomTom is all
about,” said Ralf-Peter Schäfer, TomTom’s Head of Traffic and
Travel Information. “It’s imperative to align ourselves with
forward-thinking companies in order to advance mobility so we’re
thrilled to be working with Hitachi Automotive Systems
Americas.”
Hitachi Automotive Systems Americas looks to
provide a connected AD/ADAS ECU platform that is capable of
supporting Hitachi Automotive Systems’ onboard applications as well
as 3rd party service applications. This platform aims to be
the key enabler to deliver more scalable, secure and reliable
Connected Services to both businesses and end users.
