Covering these hazards, the service helps automakers to reach higher New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) scores. NCAPs are voluntary vehicle safety performance programs rating the safety of new passenger vehicles.
This year, amongst other things, NCAP ratings in Europe and Australia will include an assessment whether speed assistance systems inform drivers of a range of specific hazardous situations like traffic jams, accidents and objects on road with sufficient lead time to adapt their speed accordingly.
To detect and report as many hazards as possible, Here Road Alerts utilizes a large pool of different sources. These include:
The service is delivered with low latency to ensure drivers are kept up-to-date on the latest hazards ahead of them.
“Here Road Alerts is a fully comprehensive hazard warning service,” said Giovanni Lanfranchi, senior vice president and chief product and technology officer at Here Technologies. “Where others may rely only on a limited number of data sources, we process data from a broad variety. More sources ultimately lead to an enriched service with greater coverage and more accuracy. This is the next step on our long-standing mission to increase the safety of millions of road users.”
