Highlights:
* Combined software package can deliver significant, real-world returns with little-or-no impact on drive times, preferred routes or driving experience.
* Innovative technology gives automakers a platform built to adapt to changes in propulsion, autonomy and connectivity.
The results were achieved through road tests of
'The significant efficiency gains from our collaboration with TomTom demonstrate how our proprietary Intelligent Driving system, combined with the right high-fidelity mapping data, can enable everyday vehicles to drive cleaner, better and further without compromises,' says
Testing on the 48-volt mild-hybrid passenger car prototype showed that driving times remained largely the same, both with and without Intelligent Driving. Yet, powertrain efficiency was dramatically improved when the TomTom ADAS Map was activated. Conducted with different drivers who selected their preferred routes, the testing also demonstrated the system's adaptability and capacity to deliver results without compromising the driving experience.
'The TomTom ADAS Map is a tried, tested and proven technology, assisting over 1.5 million automated vehicles' driving safety and comfort around the world today,' says
The Intelligent Driving suite functions as an overlay technology to adaptive cruise control (ACC), with the driver able to engage the system as desired. It leverages TomTom's data to preconfigure the entire journey, actively adjusting vehicle speed for the best possible energy-saving performance on straightaways, turns and curves, as well as using onboard cameras and remote sensing technology to account for local traffic.
The suite is designed to be hardware neutral, meaning it's compatible with virtually any vehicle that uses autonomous and connected technologies. It can also be integrated into all types of propulsion systems. Its compatibility and integration capabilities make it perfect to pair with ADAS and navigation providers such as TomTom.
