Jingzhong Map has received investment from SAIC, Dongfeng and Jiangling.
The traditional navigation map is for humans to read, including the POI guiding action from here to the other place, while the high-precision map is for the machine to read, is an important sensor for L3-L5 level automatic driving.
Shanghai Jingzhong Information Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Jingzhong Map”), which is recently contacted, is a high-precision map product and service provider and a subsidiary of Jingzhong Co., Ltd., which was established in 2010. With years of experience in smart cities, we have been working with domestic OEMs to develop high-precision maps since 2015.
In 2016, Jingzhong shares split the high-precision map business and set up the map of Jingzhong. The latter is mainly for automakers, system integrators, traffic management departments in autonomous driving, intelligent network, intelligent transportation, etc. Provide high-precision maps and related solutions. At present, Jingzhong Map has R&D centers, data production centers and marketing centers in Beijing, Shanghai and Wuxi. The number of teams is nearly 400, and the number of production and research personnel exceeds two-thirds.
In May of this year, Jingzhong Map got the Grade A surveying and mapping qualification of navigation electronic map, which is the 18th company in China to obtain this qualification. Because geographic information involves national security, only when you get the “Class A qualification”, you have the qualification to collect and produce high-precision maps with centimeter-level precision and high-precision maps for underground parking.
Jingke Map Vice President and Networking Division COO Yang Ke told them that they have been project-driven in the early development, and they have accelerated the pace of mass production after obtaining qualifications. Currently, they have served more than 90%. National intelligent network test area.
One of the characteristics of Jingzhong Map is to realize the combination of real and virtual scenes. The three-dimensional high-precision map of Jingzhong is connected with the simulation vehicle flow, and the virtual test scene library is built in the virtual test software, and the dynamic data update is realized and realized automatically. Driving the vehicle in various virtual driving modes in the virtual scene, which will greatly improve the efficiency of the automatic driving test work.
Crystal Maps said that its self-developed high-precision map engine “BrightMap” can support web pages, mobile devices and PCs at the same time, with two-dimensional high-precision map rendering, map search, path planning, environment simulation and other functions, and It can provide interfaces for simulation software such as PreScan, Carsim, CarMaker, PTV Vissim, and TransModeler.
The high-precision map production software “3DRoad” independently developed by Jingzhong Map can realize a large part of automation attribute assignment, such as the creation of lane centerline and the creation of intersection topology. According to the company, there are some maps in China that do two-dimensional high-precision maps, but there are few road-level and city-level two-dimensional high-precision maps.
Yang Ke said that their city
