Navteq and dSpace are working together to create an integrated development platform for digital map-enhanced driver assistance systems. To create an optimally aligned tool chain for the efficient development of map-based advanced driver assistance systems, dSpace is providing tools for electronic control unit (ECU) software development alongside Navteq’s development platform for map-based advanced driver assistance systems.

Modern advanced driver assistance systems have a growing influence on the reduction of carbon-dioxide emissions and increased driving safety, according to the companies. In the future, they say, advanced driver assistance systems will rely more on information from digital street maps. Navteq and dSpace now provide closely linked tools for the simple and efficient development of map-based advanced driver assistance systems, the companies say.

The predictive assessment of information about the road ahead (Electronic Horizon technology) based on the current position of the vehicle and digital maps is a developmental focus in the automotive industry. Using concrete topographical information about the course of the roads and traffic signs, the system can provide intelligent adaptive cruise control systems, curve warnings, overtaking assistance, and predictive operation strategies for energy management, all working toward the reduction of carbon-dioxide emissions as well as the number of traffic accidents.
