MathWorks and MapmyIndia Mappls Accelerate ADAS Validation for Indian Roads Using High-Definition Maps
MathWorks announced a collaboration with MapmyIndia Mappls, India’s leading advanced digital maps and deep-tech products and platforms company, to support automotive engineers developing and validating Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for Indian road environments.
By integrating MapmyIndia’s high-definition (HD) maps with MATLAB, Simulink, and RoadRunner, engineering teams can simulate realistic road and traffic scenarios and begin system validation earlier in the development cycle. The integration enables engineers to create digital twins of Indian road environments, simulate complex traffic scenarios, and test ADAS controllers within a Model-Based Design environment.
Developing ADAS for Indian roads presents distinct engineering challenges, including dense and heterogeneous traffic conditions, variable lane behaviour, diverse road infrastructure, and rapidly evolving road layouts. MapmyIndia HD maps address these challenges by providing lane-level road geometry, traffic controls, detailed road attributes, and India-specific features, such as speed breakers, potholes, and faded lane markings, creating an accurate digital representation of real-world road conditions.
Sapna Ahuja, President Automotive business and Chief Operating Officer, MapmyIndia Mappls, said, “India’s roads present some of the world’s most complex and dynamic driving environments. Developing ADAS solutions for these conditions requires far more than adapting models built for structured traffic ecosystems. MapmyIndia’s HD maps capture the scale and complexity of Indian roads with accuracy and detail — from lane-level geometry and traffic controls to speed breakers, potholes, faded lane markings and other critical localised road attributes. Our collaboration with MathWorks empowers automotive engineers to simulate real Indian driving conditions, validate systems earlier, and accelerate the development of ADAS solutions that are truly built for India.”
MapmyIndia Mappls location technologies and HD maps extend the MathWorks ecosystem for automated-driving development by connecting location intelligence with Model-Based Design workflows for simulation, algorithm development, and validation. The resulting solution helps automotive engineering teams accelerate the deployment of ADAS solutions developed specifically for the Indian market.
Vijayalayan R., Senior Manager – Automotive, MathWorks, said, “As automotive teams expand ADAS development for India, virtual validation is becoming essential to evaluate system performance across diverse driving conditions. By integrating MapmyIndia’s HD maps with MATLAB, Simulink, and RoadRunner, engineers can test ADAS algorithms earlier in development, reduce reliance on costly physical testing, and improve system performance before deployment on Indian roads.”
