“Using maps to improve operations between
businesses and cities will help bring us closer to the realization
of smart cities and safer roads.”-- Prof. Amnon Shashua, Mobileye
President and CEO
Why It Matters: The deal demonstrates the utility of
mapping innovation beyond future autonomous vehicles. It is a prime
example of how Mobileye’s unique mapping capabilities can extend
the value of location data to businesses in new market segments,
such as smart cities. The key lies in making such data available to
businesses and governments in a way that is anonymized for privacy.
Mobileye’s unique approach to mapping does just that.
How It Works: Using the Mobileye technology, vehicles
will gather sizable volumes of location data on road networks and
roadside infrastructure. The collected data is then
cross-referenced with existing geospatial data sets, such as OS
MasterMap*, to help develop accurate maps of Britain’s roads and
surrounding areas with amazing detail and precision. As a result,
Ordnance Survey and Mobileye can offer customized solutions derived
from the location intelligence, empowering companies in both
existing and developing industries to run a smarter,
better-connected business.
Utility companies, for example, can leverage the service to
maintain the precise location of their assets on the ground, such
as manhole covers, lamp posts, telephone poles and more. By
enabling a stronger view into overground and underground assets,
these companies can more efficiently plan and manage maintenance
needs, support or other necessary work.
The agreement announced at CES 2019 follows a successful year of
pilot projects in 2018 where Ordnance Survey has worked with data
collected by Mobileye and successfully integrated it into the
geospatial database for Great Britain. In addition, a number of
Ordnance Survey vehicles have been fitted with Mobileye 8 Connect™
to collect data on the roads of Britain. The pilots are delivering
a new level of roadside data that, through the partnership, will
benefit customers across the many sectors including utilities,
infrastructure and telecommunications.
The new service will also support 5G, intelligent mobility and
additional digital services, enabling a fully connected, digital
Britain.
Neil Ackroyd, Ordnance Survey CEO, said: “At OS we work hard to
enable an environment that supports new technologies and data
services across the public and private sector. OS appreciates its
role as a trusted advisor in existing and new market opportunities,
and will continue to invest and innovate to support our utility
customers and in new discovery projects such as CAV, 5G and
IoT.
“One key, and common, learning is that detailed and accurate
geospatial data is a must for the success of these projects. We
envisage this new rich data to be key to how vehicles,
infrastructure, people and more will communicate in the digital
age. Our partnership with Mobileye further enhances our commitment
to supporting Britain as a world-leading center for digital and
tech excellence.”
