*This press release is jointly published with Synspective Co., Ltd. * Dynamic Map Platform Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director, President and CEO: Yoshimura
Shuichi (hereinafter referred to as “Dynamic Map Platform”) and Synspective Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Koto-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director, President and CEO: Arai)
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism’s Small Business Innovation Promotion Project (SBIR)
Research).
The project selected this time was proposed by a consortium with Synspective, whose representative startup is Dynamic Map Platform, under the public theme of “Technology development that contributes to the advancement of road management monitoring and observation using next-generation equipment, etc.” “Improving the efficiency of road management by increasing the accuracy of small SAR satellite data location information using HD maps” was selected as a project eligible for subsidy with a maximum grant amount of 350 million yen. Small SAR satellite image
The project selected this time will focus on solutions used for observations unaffected by weather, day and night, and ground deformation monitoring using small SAR satellites*, as well as HD maps for autonomous driving (High
definition
We will consider application to road infrastructure management based on collaboration with MAP). In development, we will use HD maps to achieve high positional accuracy of SAR data and develop datasets that will contribute to road infrastructure monitoring and maintenance. In addition, we have built a data linkage system and viewer for road maintenance management based on SAR data with high positional accuracy, making it possible to visualize disaster situations and provide data through API linkage with other systems, thereby improving road infrastructure management. We aim for further advancement.

(*) What is a SAR satellite? SAR is “Synthetic Aperture Radar” in Japanese. SAR is an abbreviation for “Radar.” Microwaves, a type of radio wave, are emitted towards the earth, and the reflected waves are received to observe the physical properties and shape of the earth’s surface.This technology The satellite it carries is called a “SAR satellite”.The feature of SAR satellite is that it emits radio waves with a wavelength that can penetrate clouds and observes the reflected waves from the ground, so it does not depend on the weather or time of day. Data can be acquired at any time.
