TomTom kennen ze niet in de UK?Satnavs and Google Maps to be updated in readiness for driverless cars
Satnavs and Google Maps will soon include live data on road closures, parking restrictions and temporary speed limits in England under a UK government scheme aimed to ease drivers’ pain and pave the way for driverless cars.
Councils will be ordered to digitise all traffic regulation orders (TROs), short-term traffic measures such as temporary speed limits or road closures.
Many TROs are kept on paper and not updated automatically on digital systems, meaning they are sometimes missing from satnav systems.
On Monday, the roads minister, Guy Opperman,
will announce that the data will be uploaded to a central database and made freely available online for satnavs and mapping services. It will also include the location of parking spaces.
A spokesperson for the Department for Transport said digitising TROs would “also be crucial for ensuring autonomous vehicles can rely on accurate and up-to-date information so that they can operate safely once they start driving on British roads”.
