Enabling Research Consortium-Enhanced Digital Maps

The purpose of this project is to develop map database specifications which will enable and/or improve driver safety assistance systems. Enhanced Digital Maps for Safety (EdMap), will develop a variety of digital map data base enhancements that enable or improve the performance of various driver assistance safety systems presently under development or consideration. It is now widely believed that digital map navigation may be able to act as an additional sensor for various driver assistance systems, providing information about the vehicle's relationship to the roadway infrastructure that is not feasible to obtain with other sensors such as radar or computer vision. This will not obviate the need for other sensors, but may add a necessary component to be fused with other data sources for successful implementation of future systems. The results of this effort will provide direction to map suppliers regarding enhancements needed to enable future driver assistance systems, and establish the preliminary feasibility of generating and maintaining these enhancements.
