HERE Map Data

How HERE Map Data can help your business

Businesses and organisations can turn the physical world into a digital representation with a high degree of location context to make informed, data-driven decisions using HERE Map Data.

HERE has collected and maintains over 57 million kilometres of road data and 125 million points of interest, and growing to create a robust data library – the same library that powers HERE Location Services.  

HERE Maps are assembled by a global team of geo-technicians, cartographers, engineers and programmers using advanced spatial and AI technology and processes to create a Reality Index™, or digital representation of the world around us.

In an ever-changing world, the need for accurate and up-to-date maps is more prevalent than ever. Customers rely on HERE Maps and imagery layers to provide visual context for their location-based and mapping applications, and utilise reliable data on administrative boundaries for planning, data aggregation and analysis.

HERE’s Map Data is a digital representation of the earth, incorporating data on the surface of the earth such as contours, elevation models and satellite imagery along with invisible boundaries and areas such as postal codes, census boundaries, suburbs and other administrative regions. This contextual data can easily be integrated into enterprise and mobile applications to improve productivity in business and logistics, to increase public safety and to deepen customer experiences.

HERE Road rules and regulations

Businesses and organisations building enterprise and mobile apps for consumers or logistics companies need reliable road network data to enable informed route planning, analysis and dynamic routing decisions automatically.

HERE offers a variety of aspects related to roads and routing including geometry, voice phonetics, and routing criteria to enable routing and guidance experience for all types of road users (cars, trucks, pedestrians, and bicyclists). Routing is not one-size-fits-all. HERE enables custom routes for recreational vehicles, commercial trucks carrying hazardous or fragile materials, commuters and vacationers.  

This level of depth enables organisations to build unique and compelling applications and experiences throughout the world.

HERE Road Infrastructure and Usage

A rich understanding of the road infrastructure provides businesses with insights that can create a competitive edge by enabling data-driven decisions and creating contextual customer experiences.

HERE provides a full spectrum of data about the road infrastructure that can help organisations create safe and efficient routes with information on:  

·       Road elevation, roughness and curves
·       Road signs, signals and warnings
·       Speed and weight restrictions

This data can be used to improve the safety of drivers in commercial fleets and last mile delivery drivers by alerting them to safety hazards and minimising distracted driving. HERE Traffic Incident Database Fatality can look at accident hotspots to alert drivers to high risk areas and inform usage based insurance agencies of high risk zones.

Delays resulting from road congestion are costly, both from a time and economic point of view.HERE offers dynamic map data about road traffic including accidents and road closures, speed and congestion levels and traffic safety warnings. HERE provide up-to-the-minute traffic insights about traffic conditions causing delays and congestion that can be factored into any enterprise or mobile app for dynamic routing decisions.

 Through a vast network of GPS probes, HERE provides comprehensive historical coverage of traffic speed, enabling governments and planning agencies to enhance urban mobility through improved traffic management and smarter infrastructure planning and road engineering.

 HERE predictive traffic can either replace or complement existing manual traffic monitoring methods with an exceptional return on investment as a result of zero hardware and installation costs.
