In June 2016, DMP was a planning company to consider considering working in cooperation with maintenance, demonstration and management of high precision 3D maps. The original capital is 300 million yen, and Mitsubishi Electric, Zenrin, Pasco, Eisan Technology, Increment · P, Toyota Map Master, Isuzu Motors, Suzuki, Toyota Motor, Nissan Motor, Hino Motors, Subaru (then Fuji Heavy Industries) Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi Motors established a joint investment beyond industries.
On June 13, 2017, which is one year since its establishment, DMP held a press conference in Tokyo and announced that it received a capital of 3.7 billion yen from major shareholders. The company name will be changed to "dynamic map base" on 30th June. The shareholding ratio after the capital increase will be 33.5% for Industrial Innovation Organization, 14% for Mitsubishi Electric, 12% for Zenlin and Pasco, 10% for Iissan Technology, and 8% for Increment · P and Toyota Map Master.
Mr. Tsukasa Nakajima, President of DMP, said, "Initially, the preparation period as a planning company was two years, but it accelerated the decision to commercialize in order to respond quickly to demand." In December 2016, DMP already prepared sample data for 500 km of highway including capital speed. By strengthening the system with capital increase, by 2018 we will complete high precision 3D map for all lines of highway and automobile exclusive road in Japan.
In addition to maintaining high-precision three-dimensional maps, we will continue to establish maintenance methods and collaborate with overseas markets. We are already practicing the utilization of point cloud information which is the basis of high precision 3 dimensional map in cooperation with the Metropolitan expressway and Yamato Transport, but in the future we will utilize drone and IoT (Internet 's Internet) We aim to establish maintenance based on groups other than group information.
We agreed to collaborate with HERE which is a major map data overseas. We will investigate whether common methods can be used, such as maintenance and maintenance of high precision 3D maps. "It will be necessary to cooperate with overseas map data giant, whether an automated driving car using map data with different methods of making runs runs and whether problems do not occur," Mr. Nakajima said. Cooperation with HERE is part of the "Hannover Declaration" announced that Japan and Germany will promote close cooperation towards the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Quasi-static information such as traffic regulations and road constructions, semi-dynamic information such as accidents and congestion, dynamic information such as surrounding vehicles, pedestrians and signals, real-time map Is called a dynamic map. Automatic driving vehicles are required for improving the accuracy of the vehicle position and reducing the load on the system. In addition to automatic driving technology, we are planning to apply it to disaster prevention and maintenance and management of social infrastructure. In addition, we plan to prepare for not only highway but also high-precision three-dimensional map of general road
