TomTom (TOM2) has upgraded its Orbis Maps by integrating 3D lane geometry with centimeter-level precision. This enhancement provides global coverage and continuous updates, supporting industries such as automotive, logistics, and urban planning.
The technology uses AI-driven updates and data from sources including crowdsourcing, lidar surveys, and satellite imagery to ensure accurate and up-to-date mapping. The improvements are particularly beneficial for automated driving systems, offering support for navigation in complex environments like busy intersections and high-speed junctions.
This development is expected to have applications across various sectors. In the automotive industry, it can improve advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) for better safety and efficiency. For logistics, it could streamline last-mile delivery operations, while urban planning could benefit from enhanced traffic management and infrastructure optimization.
Mike Schoofs, Chief Revenue Officer at TomTom, stated, “Our enhancements to TomTom Orbis Maps represent a step forward in mapping technology, helping to support the development of automated driving and providing valuable data for urban planning and city infrastructure.”
