LIVONIA, Mich. , In a move that significantly bolsters the digital twin infrastructure of North America, Dynamic Map Platform (DMP) has announced the completion of its high-definition (HD) mapping project across the entirety of Canada. The integration of Newfoundland & Labrador and Prince Edward Island marks the finalization of a coast-to-coast dataset, bringing the company’s total Canadian coverage to 120,636 miles across all ten provinces.
This expansion increases DMP’s total North American footprint to more than 970,000 miles, solidifying its position as a primary Tier 1 supplier for automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). As the global automotive industry pivots toward Level 2+ and Level 3 autonomous driving capabilities, the demand for “ground-truth” data, maps with sub-decimeter accuracy, has transitioned from a luxury to a fundamental safety requirement.
The technical specifications of the dataset are rigorous. Utilizing state-of-the-art LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and advanced imagery, DMP’s maps provide 15-centimeter accuracy. Beyond mere road geometry, the platform captures a comprehensive suite of observable features, including lane dividers, pedestrian crossings, and stop signs. Crucially, it supplements these with “virtual features,” such as turn trajectories and light-to-lane assignments, which are essential for the decision-making algorithms of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
However, the implications of this data extend far beyond the automotive sector. The completion of the Canadian map provides a critical resource for road authorities and private enterprises involved in infrastructure planning, traffic simulation, and logistics automation. In an era of increasing supply chain complexity, the ability to utilize precise geospatial data for robotics and automated freight can lead to significant gains in operational efficiency and cost reduction.
“Canada’s coast-to-coast coverage demonstrates our commitment to building a comprehensive geospatial infrastructure that serves industries beyond automotive,” said Rajeev Joshi, President of DMP North America. “Precise roadway data is a foundation for safe automation across the transportation and construction industries.”
From a global brokerage perspective, DMP’s expansion reflects a broader trend of “digital sovereignty,” where high-precision maps serve as the invisible scaffolding for the modern digital society. With an existing presence in Japan, South Korea, the Middle East, and Western Europe, DMP is positioning itself as the preeminent provider of the geospatial frameworks necessary for the next industrial revolution.
As governments and private sectors increasingly prioritize smart city initiatives and autonomous logistics, the availability of standardized, high-accuracy mapping data will likely become a key differentiator for regional economic competitiveness. For Canada, the completion of this digital corridor ensures that its infrastructure is ready for the transition to a fully automated future.
