Test Results and Validation of the FeedMAP Framework with ADAS Applications

Up-to-date map data is a must for current and future navigation and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) applications. Today, digital maps are normally stored on DVDs or hard disks, with periodic updates only available on replacement disks. However, new mechanisms for updating maps have been investigated and some of them already reached the market. As the real world is changing every day, detecting changes to the road network quickly and at a low cost is a challenge. Although mapmakers continuously survey the European road network for changes, map information is not always up-to-date or accurate. This paper presents the test and validation results and two example applications from the FeedMAP project and how they can be used for increasing driving safety by integrating map deviation detection and incremental update technology into ADAS applications using the ADAS Horizon concept.
