| GISCafe Industry Predictions for 2025 – HERE Technologies January 22, 2025 by Sanjay Gangal By Damandeep Kochhar, EVP, Chief Platform & Technology Officer at HERE Technologies Damandeep Kochhar How Artificial Intelligence is Set to Revolutionize Mapmaking in 2025 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the geospatial industry and unlocking new opportunities in mapmaking, vehicle navigation and essential capabilities to simulate the real-world for testing automated driving systems. In 2025 and beyond, AI will continue to transform our understanding of the world’s geography and how people and goods arrive efficiently and safely from point A to B. For nearly a decade, advances in cloud computing and AI have played a critical role in transforming the field of mapmaking. At HERE Technologies, we have leveraged high-performance cloud infrastructures to deploy AI and machine learning (ML) models at scale, enabling unprecedented capabilities in automated, real-time map updates. We can process vast amounts of IoT sensor data – tens of millions of kilometers of vehicle sensor data per hour – to create and maintain highly detailed digital maps around the world. In 2025, additional technologies will enhance AI-powered mapmaking. Semantically aligned maps, for instance, will allow for greater interoperability across systems by ensuring a consistent reference architecture for map attributes. Enhanced satellite and aerial imaging tools, combined with edge computing, will also enable faster data processing, reducing latency and improving real-time accuracy and map freshness. GISCafe Industry Predictions for 2025 – Mach9 January 20, 2025 by Sanjay Gangal By Max Leung, founding Solutions Engineer at Mach9 Max Leung Accelerating infrastructure decision-making with AI feature extraction From infrastructure modernization to climate resilience, geospatial insights are powering how infrastructure is designed, built, and maintained globally. As 2025 begins, geospatial data stands at the forefront of critical decision-making, empowering organizations to solve complex infrastructure and safety challenges. Here are the key trends shaping the geospatial industry and its broader implications. Faster and More Accessible Geospatial Technology
Recent advancements in automated geospatial data extraction processes are revolutionizing how industries leverage Geospatial Information Systems (GIS). These technologies, powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), enable organizations to process massive datasets faster than ever before. This speed unlocks quicker insights and makes continuous asset monitoring a reality. In the transportation and utility sectors, automated extraction tools are streamlining infrastructure inspections, identifying potential failures earlier, and optimizing maintenance schedules. Automated geospatial extraction is poised to impact all industries that require accurate digital models and spatial insights where it can enhance infrastructure assessments, predictive maintenance, and the integration of precise geospatial data into digital construction models for improved project planning and lifecycle management.
