Opportunities for Digital Map Enhancement of ADAS Applications

NAVTEQ, as well as the automotive industry at large, have long recognized that digital maps can play a role as a “sensor” that, when combined with other sensor inputs, can enable or support ADAS in a variety of value-adding ways. To illustrate, road slope information from the NAVTEQ Map can inform a vehicle about upcoming hills and support adjustments to the engine throttle accordingly. This ‘Predictive Cruise Control’ application is an example of how maps can enable fuel savings within ADAS.

Numerous other possibilities exist for digital map data to enhanced or enabled ADAS applications, including:

Adaptive Cruise Control
Electronic Stability Control
Lane Departure Warning
Lane Change and Lane Keeping Assistant
Curve Warning System
Drowsy Driver Detection
Forward and Side Collision Warning

Intelligent Speed Advisory
Black Spot Warning
Blind Spot Detection
Overtake Assistant
Powertrain Control / Fuel Economy
Adaptive Frontlight Systems
Stop Light and Stop Sign Warning

ADAS Application	Basic Function	Digital Map Enhancement Example
Adaptive Cruise Control	Maintain set following distance behind a lead vehicle.	Map data enables more natural behavior.
Adaptive Frontlight System	Swiveling and leveling headlamps	Map curvature and slope data enables predictive ability.
Blind Spot Detection	Identify difficult to see objects near vehicle.	Lane information improves threat discrimination.
Curve Warning	Alert driver to a sharp curve ahead or safe approach speed.	Road curvature data enables predictive ability.
Drowsy Driver Detection	Warn driver when lethargic, intoxicated or otherwise impaired.	Map data identifies driving not consistent with road shape.
Electronic Stability Control	Stabilize vehicle during severe understeer or oversteer.	Map data improves intended path determination.
Forward/Side Collision Warning	Identify and respond to vehicles which pose a threat.	Road trajectory and lane information improve threat discrimination.
Green Driving	Enhance routing for reduced fuel consumption.	Road slope, traffic sign and signal location enable predictive energy used.
Lane Departure Warning	Alert driver when vehicle exceeds the lane.	Road shape data improves performance of imaging system.
Lane Keeping Assistant	Maintain vehicle within driving lane.	Road shape data improves performance of imaging system.
Lane Change Assistant	Warn of vehicles in proximity during lane change.	Lane information improves threat discrimination.
Overtake Assistant	Identify locations for safe passing.	Digital map includes dedicated overtaking zone locations.
Powertrain Efficiency	Reduced fuel consumption and emissions.	Road slope data enables predictive powertrain functions.
Speed Advisory	Inform driver of speed limit or excessive speed.	Map provides legal and advisory speed limits.
Stoplight and Stop Sign Warning	Alert driver to approaching traffic light or stop sign.	Map provides traffic signal and sign locations.
