The Future of HD Mapping: Crowdsourcing to Improve PNT Resilience and Safety
This proposal aims to create, update, and disseminate live HD Maps, building upon recent developments in their use for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving (AD). HD Maps are becoming critical infrastructure for Highly Automated Transportation Systems (HATS), yet their full potential remains untapped. The project focuses on crowdsourcing as the primary source of geospatial data, with the government providing live HD Maps as a service. In Year 1, the team investigated creating the HD Map base-layer for road geometry, and in Year 2, they will extend this to change detection. The challenge lies in updating the live HD Map using continuous crowdsourced HATS data, balancing processing between vehicles and central centers. The project also addresses safety by detecting road condition changes and updating the central HD Map accordingly.
