DMP expands North American HD maps to 970,000 miles

Dynamic Map Platform (DMP) has completed high-definition map coverage across all ten Canadian provinces, with the addition of Newfoundland & Labrador and Prince Edward Island bringing total coverage to 120,636 miles. The expansion increases DMP’s North American coverage to more than 970,000 miles.

The LiDAR-based maps capture roadway features with 15cm accuracy, including lane dividers, pedestrian crossings and stop signs, supplemented with virtual features such as turn trajectories and light-to-lane assignments. Automotive OEMs use HD maps for deployment of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving functions.

Beyond automotive applications, DMP is targeting infrastructure planning, traffic simulation, logistics automation and robotics sectors. The company says precise geospatial data serves government agencies for asset management and AV certification, as well as architecture, engineering and construction firms for infrastructure planning.

Rajeev Joshi, President of DMP North America, said: “Canada’s coast-to-coast coverage demonstrates our commitment to building a comprehensive geospatial infrastructure that serves industries beyond automotive. Precise roadway data is a foundation for safe automation across the transportation and construction industries.”

DMP also operates in Japan, Korea, the Middle East and Western Europe.
