Hyudatas Enhances Road Information DB Project Utilizing Delivery Vehicles

Hanjin announced on the 17th that Hudatas, established by Hanjin in January last year, has signed a business agreement with AI video solution company AImatics to build an ‘AI video recognition-based future precision map update system’ to advance the road information DB business.

The business agreement ceremony held on the 16th at AImatics headquarters in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, was attended by key officials including Lee Jeong-jae, CEO of Hudatas, and Lee Hoon, CEO of AImatics.

Hudatas is a company jointly invested by Hanjin and VR·AR content solution company UOK as part of Hanjin’s new business initiative. Based on the road information data collection and production technology utilizing Hanjin’s nationwide delivery and logistics infrastructure such as delivery vehicles, Hudatas secures the timeliness of spatial information including roads and facilities. They are developing the ‘Lodge Platform,’ a spatial information data distribution platform.

Through this business agreement, AImatics’ AI video recognition technology will be applied to the road information DB business conducted by Hudatas to enhance the precision and efficiency of the road information DB.

Hyudatus and AImatics signed a business agreement on the afternoon of the 16th at AImatics headquarters' main conference room in Yangpyeong-dong, Seoul, to establish a "Future-Oriented Precision Map Update System Based on Artificial Intelligence Video Recognition."

The two companies will install AImatics’ AI video recognition-based data collection devices, currently in pilot operation, on Hanjin delivery vehicles used in the road information DB business. Various road information such as lanes, traffic signs, road surface markings, and facilities will be collected in real time on Hudatas’ servers.

This will enable the road information DB to be updated automatically in real time with greater precision. Furthermore, by utilizing the delivery vehicles’ operational capabilities instead of the existing method where personnel move with collection devices to update precision maps, the update cycle can be shortened to a daily basis, and cost reduction effects are also expected.

Additionally, AImatics’ collection device terminals provide various safe driving functions such as lane departure warning, forward vehicle collision prevention, pedestrian collision prevention, and right-side blind spot accident prevention, helping delivery drivers drive safely.

A Hudatas official said, “We are fully committed to enhancing the completeness of the system to secure the scalability and commercialization of the road information DB,” adding, “We will accelerate the full-scale business by expanding collaboration targets including AImatics, which possesses excellent AI video recognition technology, manufacturers, map solution companies, and public institutions.”
