Location-based services competencies

Data aggregation and preparation

We extract data from different providers, align data sources, and clean up datasets to ensure map compilation is based on accurate data for specific use cases. Intellias works across a wide range of map data sources, from OSM, Overture, HD map data, and Open Charge Map to proprietary, third-party, telematics, and region-specific datasets. Backed by established process and quality management practices aligned with A-SPICE L1/L2, ISO/IEC 15504, and ISO 9001:2015, we help clients create a strong data foundation for high-quality LBS products.

Map compilation and delivery

We develop map compilers for in-vehicle navigation, ADAS, and e-horizon safety systems, working with NDS.Classic, NDS.Live, proprietary formats, region-specific, EV, ADAS/AD, and HD maps. Intellias is a Steering Committee member of the NDS Association, contributing to industry standards development across the Technical Committee, Product Definition Group, and marketing initiatives, while implementing PoCs based on NDS integration over AUTOSAR. As a member of the Overture Maps Foundation, Intellias helps advance the quality, reliability, and accessibility of open map data for business use cases.

Navigation services

Developing both in-vehicle and online navigation services to provide guidance and direction to users, Intellias enables in-vehicle navigation software for over 30 million vehicles and cloud-based LBS solutions for over 100 million vehicles on the road. We deliver services compliant with NDS and proprietary formats, providing market-specific map content for China, Japan, the EU, the US, and the UK. Our navigation services cover EV routing, eco-routing, search and geocoding, fleet management and logistics, intelligent speed assistance, and indoor navigation.

Location intelligence

Transforming geospatial data into insights and informed decisions by understanding where things are and how they are connected. This includes the visualization and analysis of location-specific data to uncover meaningful patterns and trends. Intellias helps businesses apply location intelligence through advanced real-time analytics, visualization, integration with business systems, user behavior analytics, and predictive maintenance for vehicles. We support sustainability and smart mobility use cases, including smart city, transit optimization, traffic management, asset tracking, and smart parking.

Clear outcomes: Our clients' stories

Generative AI and knowledge graph services for efficient map production

To address slow and error-prone manual validation across a complex map production ecosystem, Intellias implemented a GenAI-powered solution that automates validation and streamlines workflows through the intelligent AI assistant.

Business outcomes:

Faster validation cycles – replaced manual search and cross-checking across 4,000+ map entities with a unified AI assistant
Improved consistency and quality – automated validation using MLflow pipelines and golden datasets, reducing variability and human error
Scalable platform foundation – evolved from MVP to an architecture designed to support 1,000+ daily active users

AI-based closed loop code generation for map compiler

Map compilation requires significant engineering effort when introducing new data formats. The client aimed to explore AI-driven code generation, from assisted development to automated closed-loop workflows.

Intellias developed an AI-based architecture to generate and refine compiler code with full contextual awareness. The approach was validated by generating a real map compiler module (POI, Roads) with NDS map data format.

Business outcomes:

Fast PoC delivery – working solution delivered in 3 weeks with real map output
Reduced effort and time – up to 40% reduction in development for new data formats
Scalable approach – proven and reusable architecture for future map compilation components

Map Scout: Agentic AI solution for dynamic maps update

Traditional map updates rely on slow, scheduled data sources, creating a gap between real-world conditions and what drivers see, especially dynamic events like accidents, road closures, or hazards.

Intellias developed Map Scout, an AI-powered solution that continuously captures and validates real-time events from open sources, enabling faster and more accurate map updates.

Business outcomes:

Stronger competitive edge – real-time intelligence outperforms traditional batch-based mapping updates
Improved map accuracy and reliability – automated event extraction, geolocation, and confidence scoring ensure higher data quality
Regulatory readiness – supports low-latency detection of safety-critical events, aligning with emerging standards such as Euro NCAP 2026 Local Hazards
