ADAS Horizon — How Digital Maps can contribute to Road Safety.

The paper introduces the ADAS Horizon concept and the first results from MAPS&ADAS project (PReVENT IP) of a standardized interface between ADAS applications and digital map data. As a predictive sensor called ADAS Horizon, in-vehicle digital maps are an important source of information providing look-ahead capability for ADAS applications and providing further information for on-board sensors to enhance environment perception. Therefore digital maps have large potential for road safety to enhance or enable preventive and active safety applications by extending driver horizon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
