GeoMate: AI-Powered Mapping for Smart Mobility
About GeoMate
Here at GeoMate, we’ve made it our mission to provide urban mobility professionals with a more accurate, more scalable and less expensive HD mapping solution to better serve their needs.
The GeoMate
Story
We, at GeoMate, recognized there was a gap in the urban mobility market and saw the need for an accurate, scalable and affordable HD mapping solution.
Additionally, with the demand for enhanced safety and operational efficiency in the autonomous transit space growing increasingly apparent, we identified the need for an innovative approach to remedy this problem.
By leveraging groundbreaking technological advancements in AI, GeoMate is able to offer a unique solution.
The Need for
GeoMate
Prior to the launch of GeoMate, the limitations of traditional mapping options were glaring.
Not only that, but the expensive price point associated with on-ground mapping techniques was restrictive and less than ideal.
By eliminating in-field work and utilizing the power of AI machine learning, GeoMate provides high efficiency HD maps at a low cost.
Early
Challenges
During the inception and development of GeoMate, we faced a number of challenges along the way.
Certain technological hurdles were early sticking points, such as creating the proprietary AI and computer vision algorithms that accurately translate the captured imagery into precise mapping data.
In addition to the tech obstacles, the uphill battle of market penetration was a factor and although GeoMate HD mapping solutions are ultimately superior to previous methods, convincing stakeholders to switch from traditional mapping options did have its difficulties.
