Real-time updating of in-vehicle digital maps
In the near future it will become possible to send incremental map updates to in-vehicle systems. The public road authorities implement the changes in safety-relevant road attributes, particularly traffic signs and speed limits, and are the most efficient source of information for in-vehicle digital map providers. The prerequisites for an efficient data chain are adequate data storage and maintenance at authorities, a flexible and robust data exchange infrastructure, and automatic data integration at map providers.
