During Tuesday’s Afternoon trade, Shares of Nokia Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:NOK), gain 4.81% to $5.12, after its mapping unit HERE finished initial testing of its traffic information system.
HERE will pilot the system in Finland during the next two years, the company said.
Location and cloud data analytics from HERE are used to connect cars and traffic administration cents in an intelligent system.
Overall, the company’s aim is to improvement awareness for drivers so that they can have knowledge of where there are traffic congestion or accidents.
“In a small-scale test conducted on roads in the Greater Helsinki area, the system performed well in distributing targeted notifications about road hazards and conditions to relevant vehicles at low latencies,” the company stated.
Based in Finland, Nokia provides network infrastructure and related services in Finland, the U.S., Japan, China, India, the Russian Federation, Germany, Taiwan, Indonesia, Italy, and internationally.
HERE has accomplished a successful initial technology demonstration of the traffic information system it will pilot in Finland over the next two years.
The pilot will be the first C-ITS (cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems) deployment based on 4G/LTE mobile networks. It utilizes standard and commercial networks in addition to location cloud and data analytics from HERE to connect vehicles and traffic administration centers in an intelligent system. The aim is that drivers can report road hazards and have an raised awareness of the road, such as where specifically there might be black ice or an animal on the road, sudden traffic build-up, or an accident. HERE, which declared in June its selection by the Finnish traffic agencies to lead the pilot, is working with traffic information administration service company Infotripla in the implementation.
This particular pilot does not require the deployment of any additional roadside infrastructure, such as DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communications) equipment. HERE’s approach instead centres on how standard and commercial mobile networks can underpin C-ITS systems where data from vehicles and connected road infrastructure could be gathered, analyzed, enriched and distributed back to vehicles and infrastructure at sub-second rates.
HERE, a Nokia company, is a leader in navigation, mapping and location experiences. We build high-definition (HD) maps and combine them with cloud technology to enable rich, real-time location experiences in a broad range of connected devices - from smartphones and tablets to wearables and vehicles.
