Dynamic Map Platform Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Shuichi Yoshimura; hereinafter “the Company”) announces that it has provided high-precision 3D map data to domestic automakers for the development of autonomous driving and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) in compliance with United Nations Regulation No. 79 (UN-R79), an international standard for automated steering functions.

UN-R79 is an international standard that requires vehicles to perform appropriate operations for functions such as automated steering and lane changing based on driving environment and road conditions. The regulation defines multiple categories for Automatically Commanded Steering Functions (ACSF): Category A (low-speed steering assistance), Category B1 (lane keeping), and Category C (lane-change assistance), among others. Especially for categories involving lane changes (Category C and above), it requires the ability to determine permitted lane-change sections and accurately grasp surrounding lane configurations and road structures.

The Company’s high-precision 3D map data includes lane configuration and road section information at centimeter-level accuracy, which is necessary for such judgments. This enables the acquisition of road information required for implementing lane-change assistance functions, supporting the development of autonomous driving and ADAS that meet UN-R79 requirements.

The data is being used by domestic automakers in their autonomous driving and ADAS development, contributing to verification and development for realizing more advanced driving assistance functions, including judgment of lane-change feasibility and understanding road structures.

The Company will continue to support the infrastructure for research and development related to autonomous driving and ADAS through the provision of high-precision 3D map data.
