TOKYO, Japan, Jan 28, 2025 – Dynamic Map Platform Co., Ltd. has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with PTV Group, part of Umovity, for the development of simulation technology in the fields of automotive and transportation engineering and its applications.
Under the MoU, DMP and PTV have agreed to combine DMP’s high-precision 3D map data with PTV’s traffic simulation software “PTV Vissim” to provide a high-tech simulation environment. Through this collaboration, DMP aims to further utilize 3D Map data in simulations, while PTV aims to expand the adoption of “PTV Vissim” mainly in the automotive industry.
Commenting on the partnership, Steve Perone, PTV’s managing director mobility, said, “Precise data is essential for creating realistic simulations. DMP’s high-precision 3D map data will allow us to deliver Model2Go for PTV Vissim networks – out of the box and in just a few days, unlocking a wealth of opportunities for both the automotive industry and traffic engineering.”
Shuichi Yoshimura, DMP’s president and CEO, stated, “PTV is a global provider of simulation software. By providing 3D maps to PTV and PTV users around the world, it is possible to replicate a road network that is as close to reality as possible on a global scale. Through this partnership, we look forward to significant innovation in the automotive and transportation industries.”
As a platform provider of high-precision 3D map data, DMP will continue to collaborate with a wide range of industries and contribute to the creation of innovations in various industrial fields.
