According to foreign media reports, the positioning platform here technologies announced to cooperate with Verizon, a U.S. wireless communication service provider, to explore cutting-edge applications that combine Verizon's 5g ultra wideband network and multi access edge computing (MEC) platform, 5g edge network, here positioning technology and automotive expertise. This cooperation will focus on joint innovation for various enterprises, industries and consumer oriented use cases. First, it will develop vehicle and pedestrian safety technologies such as collision avoidance, as well as better location identification and navigation technologies, which are used to share car pick-up and delivery services. (picture source: here) here will provide Verizon with authorization to access various location data, software development kit (SDK) and API (application program interface) of her positioning platform. Verizon and here also plan to develop new networking services for the benefit of automobile, smart city, transportation, logistics and other industries. First of all, the two companies will develop the following two concept verification: 1. Collision avoidance - by combining Verizon's 5g ultra wideband capability with here's HD live map and live sense computing vision technology, to build a vehicle to network (v2n) communication system, so as to develop collision avoidance technology and improve the safety of pedestrians and drivers. Here's live sense SDK can identify vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, etc., as well as obstacles caused by mobile phones. This data will then be sent to Verizon's 5g edge network, allowing the collision avoidance AI to predict possible routes and warn of potential collisions. 2. Visual location service (VPS) - this service is designed to use captured images to identify specific locations with near instantaneous accuracy below meters. Here's proprietary 3D positioning algorithm will analyze images or videos to achieve accurate positioning, which can be completed almost in real time through Verizon's 5g ultra wideband network and 5g edge network. VPS is the supplement of GPS and other signal-based positioning technology. Because the technology does not rely on remote server and is less affected by high-rise buildings or signal desert, it is also suitable for indoor applications.
