Overview

Automated Driving Zones (ADZ) let you create and edit Operational Design Domain (ODD) maps for governing the activities of automated vehicles. With HERE ADZ, automotive OEMs can easily define and manage in-vehicle ODD maps for enhanced ADAS and AD functionality.

ADZ provides map creation tools through a web application and assorted HERE APIs. These maps can contain layers of information based on static and dynamic HERE map content.

HERE ADZ supports the following use cases:

• Manual and automated editing via both web app and API
• Full ODD creation workflow, from map generation based on custom content through real-world validation, review, approval, and future updates.
• Create custom ODDs for various AD functionalities, such as construction zones and cross-country regulations
• Designate restrictions and guidance based on vehicle class (sedan, SUV, truck)
• Distribute company-specific ODDs across vehicles of different types, automated capabilities, and software versions
• Deliver ODDs based on up-to-date map content
• Ensure AD function compliance with local, regional, and global regulations, including UN R171, UN R157, NHTSA, and GB/T 40000-2021
