No more wrong navigations of digital maps, Artificial Intelligence is now making maps & navigation better & Intelligent!

Did you even wonder why the applications you use can recommend to you products that you will like, or how your navigation system can suggest the best route for your destination? If you take a look around you, you will find artificial intelligence and machine learning in every appliance, application, or software you are using, without even realizing it. Indicatively, you can find systems like that from the streaming services to e-commerce websites. The use of artificial intelligence though that has made our everyday transportation convenient is in digital maps and navigation. The most popular applications use machine learning algorithms to analyze the data and recommend the optimal route.

However, today’s digital maps are sometimes inaccurate, thus causing frustration and inconvenience. The most common cause for this is the outdated artificial intelligence systems used. These new technologies are constantly improving, and so every company must keep consulting an AI expert on a regular basis. As the new machine learning algorithms are implemented into digital maps. The navigation will improve, making at the same time our quality of life better.

Real-time Updates

The navigation system of a digital map needs to be updated on a real-time basis, in order to provide the most accurate and safe routes. In smart cities specifically, those data can track the traffic flow, public transportation, and even the available parking slots. Those data can be obtained by road-surface sensors and cameras placed on the roads of the city. The machine learning system will receive those data in real-time and suggest the optimal solution to anyone using the digital maps. For example, it will recommend the best route and the empty parking spaces to the drivers, and information on public transportation to the pedestrians. This will create a good flow of traffic, which will also be beneficial to the city.

Identification of Alterations in the Real World

Along with the data received from the road-surface sensors, the artificial intelligence system needs more data to take into consideration any alteration in the real world. This issue can be easily solved by combining the sensors’ data with satellite images. The algorithm will be enhanced with computer vision, which will be able to spot the differences in the images that show the real-life changes. This data will significantly improve the route suggestion and navigation, as it will be fully updated.

Satellite image to Enhance the Micro Details

The raw data received from satellites can also find another use in the improvement of digital maps and navigation. Those data can be used by an artificial intelligence system to recognize the number of lanes in each road and the type of road. The capabilities of this algorithm can even expend to recognize bike roads and hiking trails. A system like that can facilitate everyday life as the drivers will navigate the cityscape easily and safely. Additionally, this will be invaluable information in cases of emergency or disasters.

?Artificial intelligence can be applied to every aspect of our lives. Its implementation on digital maps and navigation has made transportation safer.?
