Synspective Inc. (Synspective) and Dynamic Map Platform Co., Ltd. (Dynamic Map Platform) have been selected by the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism for the Small and Medium Enterprise Innovation Promotion Program.
With the Dynamic Map Platform, Synspective submitted a proposal entitled “Improving road management efficiency by increasing the accuracy of location information using SAR data based on HD maps.” The committee selected our proposal under the “Development of technologies that contribute to the advancement of road management monitoring and observation using next-generation technologies” category, awarding the company a grant of up to 350 million yen for the eligible project.
This project leverages SAR satellite technologies and Synspective’s Land Displacement Monitoring (LDM) solution and aims to integrate these technologies with HD maps for autonomous driving, which provide high-precision 3D positioning data. The focus will be on studying how this data can be applied to enhance road infrastructure management.
During development, Synspective will use HD maps to achieve high positional accuracy of SAR data and develop data sets that will support road infrastructure monitoring and maintenance. A data linkage system and viewer will be created that are designed for road maintenance and management. This setup will facilitate the visualization of disaster conditions and enable data sharing through API integration with other systems to advance road infrastructure management.
