Abstract

Digital maps have large potential for road safety to enhance or enable preventive and active
safety applications by extending driver horizon. 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. A large range of ADAS applications can benefit from map
data, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Adaptive Front Lighting System, Curve Speed
Warning, Speed Limit Assistance, Overtaking Assistance, Lane Keeping Assistance and
Predictive Powertrain Control.
