In trials launched by Mobileye and
Ordnance Survey, fleets of vehicles capture a street-level view of
Britain’s road network. The companies’ collaboration will unlock
the innovation of artificial intelligence-powered automotive
technology for an array of markets. In London on Tuesday, May 7,
2019, Ordnance Survey, Great Britain’s national mapping agency, and
Mobileye, an Intel company, announced the launch of trials to
create the first detailed roadside infrastructure dataset of
Britain for an accurate and customizable location information
service. (Credit: Mobileye, an Intel Company)
To support the trials, Northumbrian Water Group has become the
first utility company in the U.K. to join the project. The new
service from Mobileye and OS, which will deliver high-precision
roadside asset location data to companies across multiple sectors,
was first announced by the companies at CES 2019. The collaboration
will unlock the innovation of artificial intelligence-powered
automotive technology for an array of markets.

Fleets of vans and cars fitted with Mobileye’s automotive
camera-based mapping technology are set to capture a street-level
(worms-eye) view of the nation’s road network. Retrofitted with the
Mobileye® 8 Connect™, the vehicles are detecting, processing and
sending data to the cloud for aggregation before the information is
provided to OS. OS, a world-leading geospatial data and technology
organization, cross-references the data with its existing datasets.
The level of detail recognized and classified includes road
markings, network boxes, traffic lights, road signs, lamp and
telegraph posts, bollards, manhole covers, and drainage grates. The
data is updated constantly as vehicles capture information on the
roads they travel.
Professor Amnon Shashua, president and CEO of Mobileye, said: “A
future of smart cities and safe streets is within reach when we
equip governments and businesses with high-precision mapping data.
We look forward to seeing the continuing progress of our
trials.”
Initially tested in selected areas of the country, the trials
included London, Manchester and the North East. The trials are
already helping produce a dataset of Britain’s road network
characteristics and street furniture at an unprecedented level of
accuracy. The trials will lay the groundwork for new data and
infrastructure asset monitoring services from Mobileye and OS for
customers across many markets, ranging from the energy and
infrastructure sectors to emerging tech markets including connected
and autonomous vehicles (CAV) and 5G.
Neil Ackroyd, OS interim CEO, said: “At OS we strive to create
environments that support new technologies and data services across
the public and private sector. The OS collaboration with Mobileye
further enhances our commitment to supporting Britain as a
world-leading centre for digital and tech excellence. The initial
trials are already delivering a deeper and richer level of data
capture which we are confident will bring added value to our
customers and become an important dataset for emerging markets, and
a building block for Britain’s infrastructure for many years.”
The utility sector will be among the first markets to take
advantage of new data services from Mobileye and OS. Utility
businesses will be able to enhance the quality of their existing
asset data, making it faster and simpler to identify and link
above-ground and underground assets. Companies can monitor the
condition of their assets, saving them money and time when planning
asset maintenance programs.
As part of the trials, Northumbrian Water Group vehicles will be
retrofitted with the Mobileye solution to help capture data across
the North East of England.
Clive Surman-Wells, Northumbrian Water Group operations
solutions manager, added: “We’re really excited and proud to be the
first utility company to have the opportunity to try this new
technology. There are so many benefits that have the potential to
really change the game when it comes to helping manage our networks
and keep our customers’ water flowing.”
As the global leader in the development of vision technology for
advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving,
Mobileye also empowers fleets with a higher standard of safety and
helps reduce traffic injuries and fatalities. The Mobileye 8
Connect system, which is powered by Mobileye’s EyeQ®4 processor,
brings several advanced collision avoidance features in addition to
providing alerts and warnings that can improve driver behavior and
create safer roads.
OS and Mobileye expect trials to continue over the summer.
