Buildings extend skyward, enabling you to get your bearings more easily, and visible changes in terrain height combined with integrated satellite imagery produce an almost photorealistic look. This is made possible by Bosch\u2019s advanced navigation software, which takes data compliant with the new Navigation Data Standard (NDS) and processes it in a 3D rendering module to turn it into a visually stunning map. In contrast to comparable solutions, it is possible to use the Bosch approach on navigation systems that are not permanently online. If an internet connection is available, though, the system can enhance the map display with dynamic data. In the future, this will allow, for instance, integration of the latest weather information or fuel prices at gas stations along the route.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21952.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2469\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2469\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/?attachment_id=2469\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21952.jpg?fit=2126%2C1329\" data-orig-size=\"2126,1329\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1-CM-21952\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21952.jpg?fit=980%2C613\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2469\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21952.jpg?resize=300%2C188\" alt=\"1-CM-21952\" width=\"300\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21952.jpg?resize=300%2C188 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21952.jpg?resize=768%2C480 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21952.jpg?resize=1024%2C640 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21952.jpg?resize=240%2C150 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21952.jpg?resize=150%2C94 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21952.jpg?w=1960 1960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Powerful 3D map engine supports continuous zoom<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The key component in Bosch\u2019s new navigation software is a 3D map engine based on OpenSceneGraph. It superimposes three-dimensional elements like buildings using an additional display layer and can also make them transparent, keeping the route visible to the driver when it goes behind structures. The driver can smoothly zoom the visible map area, from the highest level of detail to the world view. Using topographical information contained in the NDS data, the software displays differences in terrain height. It will even be possible to artificially bend up the map in the direction of the horizon, thus maximizing the amount of screen area used to display the route. The new software furthermore supports the 3D artMap function, which rounds the edges of buildings and uses appropriate colouring to give the structures a watercolour look.<\/p>\n<p>For interacting with the system, the driver can choose between voice input, multi-touch, and handwriting recognition. And thanks to the 3D map engine, it is also possible to show different areas of the map on different screens at the same time, such as the displays in the centre console and instrument cluster. The level of display detail can be adapted to the infotainment system\u2019s computing power and memory. The navigation software can thus be configured to suit carmakers\u2019 particular requirements. Updates are easy to install via USB media or a connected smartphone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dynamic data from the connected horizon \u2013 more than just traffic info<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21951.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2470\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2470\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/?attachment_id=2470\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21951.jpg?fit=2126%2C1181\" data-orig-size=\"2126,1181\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1-CM-21951\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21951.jpg?fit=980%2C545\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2470\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21951.jpg?resize=300%2C167\" alt=\"1-CM-21951\" width=\"300\" height=\"167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21951.jpg?resize=300%2C167 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21951.jpg?resize=768%2C427 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21951.jpg?resize=1024%2C569 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21951.jpg?resize=250%2C139 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21951.jpg?resize=150%2C83 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/1-CM-21951.jpg?w=1960 1960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Today, traffic congestion can already be portrayed on the map in near real time. But if the infotainment system has internet access, it will be possible in the future to integrate even more information in the map display. The Bosch connected horizon, for example, gives real-time access to data on road conditions stored in the cloud. The 3D map engine is able to visualize this data, so that areas of the map appear in a different colour if there is particularly heavy rain or a risk of black ice. By simply tracing a circle on the screen with your finger, you can then tell the system to calculate an alternative route going through the point you just defined. Regional temperatures and the expected path of severe storms can also be displayed \u2013 an essential function in regions of the US severely affected by tornados. Furthermore, in electric vehicles, the system uses a coloured, transparent overlay to indicate the current range on the map for the amount of remaining battery charge.<\/p>\n<p>The Navigation Data Standard has been jointly developed by carmakers, automotive suppliers, and map providers. The standardized format enables map data to be exchanged easily between them. Standardization reduces the number of different variants and simplifies map updating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Further details are available at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nds-association.org\">http:\/\/www.nds-association.org<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>(Source: Bosch Media)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bosch guides you through 3D landscapes with Navigation 3.0 3D m ap engine displays 3D elements on additional display layer High-quality display with 3D objects also available offline Level of display detail adaptable to system computing power and memory Future visualization of dynamic information, like danger spots and fuel prices Bosch is making the map [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[15,35,36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-automotive","category-concepts","category-internet"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p79TdE-DO","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2607,"url":"http:\/\/tomdenton.org\/blog\/?p=2607","url_meta":{"origin":2468,"position":0},"title":"Automated mobility &#8211; Bosch","author":"Tom Denton","date":"May 10, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Automated driving impacts the entire car: its powertrain, brakes, steering, display instruments, navigation, and sensors, as well as connectivity inside and outside the vehicle.
