Presentation and use of traffic signs in road databases (VSS2004/901)
Overview
Background & policy context:
In the framework of the New Work Item Proposal 22953 eXtended Geographic Data Files (XGDF) of ISO TC 204/ CEN TC 278 the existing standard ISO 14825 on road data bases will be extended, such that the integration of traffic sign data will be supported. The research project aims at accompany this extension of the standard and to guarantee that the matter of traffic sign data integration is considered properly, including the specific Swiss requirements. Furthermore compatibility of the modified location referencing methods with those methods used in Switzerland (especially those of the research project mentioned and of the project MISTRA) will be observed.
Objectives:
The aim of this research project is the elaboration of a framework for the integration of traffic signs in Swiss road databases for applications enhancing traffic safety using advanced driver assistance systems and for better planning and maintenance of traffic signs, based on the extension of the ISO 14825 standard, under consideration within ISO TC 204/ CEN TC 278 as expressed in the New Work Item Proposal 22953 (eXtended Geographic Data Files XGDF).
