Digital Map availability Overview (1/2)

• 1982 Start development of car navigation systems
• 1984 Founding of Tele Atlas
• Product drivers Distance tables (84), Automated
  paper map production (86), GIS systems (88)
• Map products Distance tables (84), Release
  Netherlands 1 10,000 (86), Release of Benelux
  1 10,000 (90)
• 1986 Map requirements car navigation (Bosch,
  Philips)
• Towards European coverage
• Accuracy 10 - 25m
• Available according to uniform specifications
  Need for standardisation

Digital Map availability Overview (2/2)

• 1994 Tele Atlas release of Benelux GDF 2.1
• 1994 Bosch release of Germany GDF 2.1
• 1994 Foundation of the EDRA Production of the
  European digital road map for car navigation
  systems according to GDF 3.0
• 1997 Tele Atlas release MultiNet EU GDF3.0
• 1997 Adoption of GDF 3.0 by all major commercial
  map providers
• 2000 Release of Australian Navigation Map GDF
  3.0
• 2002 Tele Atlas release MultiNet US GDF3.0
• Tele Atlas release of MultiNet EU/US GDF4.0
  planned for 2005

The GDF Standard Applicability

• Developed for Car Navigation applications
• Map Standard for Road Transport and Traffic (RTT)
  (CEN) and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)
  (ISO)
• The Tele Atlas GDF MultiNet product serves a
  variety of clients in areas like car navigation,
  personal navigation, telematics, fleet
  management, traffic management, GIS
• Conclusion The applicability of GDF goes beyond
  car navigation

Digital Map availability Public sector

• Commercial digital map production. Why?
• Absence of a uniform European public map
• Absence of a European public map standard
• Different content focus public maps (topographic
  s. navigation)
• Public Standardisation efforts
• Harmonisation of National Mapping efforts
• 1980 1993 CERCO Cooperation with EDRM2 without
  result
• 1993 Megrin
• 1993 Merging of Cerco and Megrin in
  EuroGeographics
• As yet no public uniform EU map available
• Standardisation in ISO/TC211 (Geographic
  Information)
• 1999 today Publication of 43 ISO standards on
  Geographic information
• As yet no uniform map available according to
  TC211 standards

8
Need for Public Private Partnerships

• Context of EC-directive on e-safety
• Reduce number of traffic deaths by 50 in 2010
• Final Report of the E-Safety Working Group on
  Road Safety (IST, EC) - an excerpt
• European road map data bases containing road map
  data and additional agreed attributes . need to
  be produced, maintained and certified under the
  responsibility of a public-private partnership
  and made available at acceptable prices and in
  an open format.
• The mapping suppliers already have an extensive
  road map data base to which must be added agreed
  "e-safety" attributes. These shall be provided in
  digital form to industry standards by the public
  sector authorities.

Public Private Standards interfacing

• 1993 EDRM2 CERCO No results
• 1996 CEN TC278 and Swedish Road Authority
  Incorporation of linear referencing in GDF
• 1998 CEN/TC278 RADEF RADEF model was
  incorporated in GDF3.0
• 2003 - -gt Joint task force TC204 211 to make
  GDF a TC211 standard profile

10
The way forward - 1

• Commercial sector MAPSADAS project
• 6th Framework Programme
• Sub-project of Prevent
• Focused on data sourcing of e-safety attributes
• Public Private Partnerships
• Advanced methods of data collection
• Public Sector EuroRoadS
• e-Content Project
• National Mapping agencies and Road Authorities
• Specification framework for data exchange and
  interoperability

11
The way forward - 2

• The commercial mapping sector is interested in
  defining interfaces with the public sector to
  exchange e-safety information
• The commercial sector offers the GDF standard as
  a basis for the work of EuroRoads and the
  e-safety interface
• EuroRoads partners have reservations about GDF
• An enhanced GDF is to be preferred above another
  GI-standard
• Tele Atlas offers to cooperate in enhancing GDF
