NAVIGON MapSensor™

Security and Vehicle Comfort are two central arguments for winnig market share in today's competitive automotive market. To help meet these needs, NAVIGON has developed the MapSensor product for the further improvement of active safety in the car.

NAVIGON MapSensor delivers information about the driving route from the digital map to the ADAS applications.

The software uses the current vehicle position (calculated from GPS and in-car sensor information) and combines the position with information from the digital map (street geometry, crossings, traffic signs and speed limits).

NAVIGON MapSensor provides the calculated data over the vehicle network (e.g. CAN-Bus) to other ADAS systems such as Curve Warning, Lane Keeping, Active Cruise Control, Lighting Systems or adaptive drive train systems.
