  1. How Map Data Influences Route Planning?

  2. What is Map Data? Map data is the cumulative information of everything present geographically in the world - be it natural or man made. It is the collection of all geospatial information that is present on the surface of the earth.

  3. What Does Map Data Include? Map data is inclusive of information such as: Road elevation Vegetation density Latitudinal & longitudinal information Weather conditions Fuel Pump Restaurants

  4. Why and How Is Map Data Collected? Why: Map data is collected to enhance digital map detailing. Therefore, when following a route through maps, drivers know what to expect and where to get the things they might need on the way. How: Map data can be collected through either satellite imaging or in real-time through video telematics or IoT sensors. All collected data is integrated into designated maps used by the software and makes all geospatial information visible.

  5. Route Planning and Map Data? Route Planning focuses on getting from the starting point to the destination in the least possible time using the least possible resources. While this means that route planning will find the quickest and shortest route between point A and B, it also requires taking map data into consideration. Why? We’ll see in the next slide!

  6. How Map Data Allows Better Route Planning Map data allows managers to mark stopping plans for drivers to relax such as restaurants and overnight hotels Through weather insights, routes can be planned so that drivers can avoid bad weather and its consequences. Map data also helps see how much fuel efficiency a route will allow.
