Overview

dSPACE is a global leader in automotive simulation and validation solutions, providing critical tools for the development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) technologies. With headquarters in Paderborn, Germany, dSPACE serves automotive manufacturers and suppliers worldwide with comprehensive simulation ecosystems including AURELION sensor simulation and Automotive Simulation Models (ASM).

GeoMate specializes in transforming aerial imagery into compact, high-definition maps using AI-driven automation. Our solution provides partners with detailed spatial data quickly, safely, and cost-effectively - without the need for traditional field surveys.

Joining Forces

dSPACE has partnered with GeoMate to integrate AI-generated compact HD maps and realistic 3D environment models into dSPACE's simulation platforms, enabling developers to conduct extensive virtual test drives across continuously expanding operational design domains (ODDs).

"The seamless integration of GeoMate's detailed, comprehensive maps into our AURELION and ASM simulation solutions adds tremendous value for our customers and expands their ADAS/AD validation and sensor simulation capabilities."

— Michael Kluge, Product Manager Scenarios at dSPACE
