Challenges

Maps impact the localization and planning performance of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving (AD) systems. For testing purposes, engineering teams need representative map data to use in simulation. For usage on vehicles, the ADAS or AD stack needs accurate, up-to-date map data for correct decision-making. However, buying map data from vendors can be expensive and slow. Depending on a team’s needs, vendors may not have the right data available. Even with the right map data on hand, teams might find it time-consuming to create sufficient test cases that cover a wide range of map conditions.

Why Map Toolset?

Applied Intuition Map Toolset helps simulation, validation, and mapping engineers create useful map data for ADAS and AD development. 
Instantaneous creation of new maps, editing of existing ones, and generation of 3D worlds from map data for sensor simulation
Web-based tool to analyze maps to find errors and chart out object distributions
Parameter sweeps enable scalable scenario creation using different map conditions

Benefits

Develop safe ADAS and AD systems

Create synthetic maps and 3D worlds to validate an ADAS or AD system on desired conditions.

Speed up testing and validation

Save time on scenario creation and coverage using map data.

Reduce map purchasing costs

Reduce costs on map data acquisition and build high-quality map data efficiently.

Key components

Map editing

Create fully synthetic maps for use in simulation or real-world maps for use on vehicles. Build maps quickly, with support for concurrent editing, while tracing on top of imported underlays like lidar or satellite. Create various types of maps, from on-road areas like highways, residential neighborhoods, and parking lots to off-road areas like mining sites and outdoor testing grounds.

3D world generation

Generate 3D environments for sensor simulation automatically from existing maps, augmented with segmentation or editing models. Add, modify, or remove 3D assets to build desired testing environments. Use environment presets to create realistic worlds with minimal effort.

Map analysis

Validate maps to catch critical errors that may impact simulations or the ADAS or AD system itself. Create charts to analyze different attributes of a map and operational design domain, such as the distribution of lane curvatures or speed limits. 

Scenario creation at scale

Easily create thousands of scenario variations using parameter sweeps over different map attributes. Generate scenarios at scale around points of interest (e.g., all lanes with high curvature and high speed limit).
