Understanding risk with combined datasets

Providing speed limit maps to support Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) technologies.
Speed is a critical factor in many road collisions and providing information to motorists and their vehicles on current speed limits is essential to the success of this technology.
Speed is a critical factor in many road collisions and providing information to motorists and their vehicles on current speed limits is essential to the success of this technology. In-vehicle cameras that detect signs are not sufficient on their own which is why up-to-date and accurate maps of the road network are required in countries where this technology is in use.
Our database is used by HERE Technologies, the world’s leading location and data platform, to inform drivers of speed limits on the roads they are travelling on. This is especially useful in the light of the launch of the new European regulation Intelligence Speed Assistance that was implemented from July 2022 onwards.
HERE Technologies is working with all leading automotive manufacturers in the world and count among its investors Audi, BMW and Daimler. As of January, 8 out of 9 major automakers selected HERE ISA Map to support EU ISA mandate.
Complex urban environments such as here in Bristol have a variety of different limits depending on the road hierarchy. Lower 20mph / 30 km/h limits are becoming more widespread in our towns and cities as road authorities recognise the benefits for safety. We are constantly updating our database to reflect this positive trend.
