Examples of TT Innovation: Research on
Crowd-sourcing technology and Lane positioning
Target: image capturing of lane markings,
traffic signs, weather conditions, etc. Fusion of Satellite System, Computer
Vision, and Map technology to achieve
lane-level vehicle positioning and
guidance, bringing navigation to a new
level of detail and effectiveness

MASTERING THE CLOSED LOOP TO DELIVER REAL-TIME MAPS

TomTom minimizes the delta between the real world and the map in the car:
• Multi-source change detection, based on largest connected driver community
• Transactional map-making: automated processing and quality validation – incl. mobile mapping vans,
government data, satellite images, field survey, etc.
• Real-time publishing of incremental map changes (using standard NDS format)
TomTom components enable automated cars
to see beyond their sensors
