== Abstract ==

​

 developments in fully autonomous vehicles move forward, one issue to be considered is the mapping<br> requirements necessary for such vehicles to navigate their way around the road network at any time and between<br> any point of origin and destination. On-board navigation systems already deal with determining the initial route,<br> so that the challenge becomes that of being able to determine the vehicle position at all times, especially in<br> circumstances where GNSS is unavailable. The ATLAS project (supported by Innovate UK) has considered this<br> issue with regards to mapping types, data requirements and technology demands/protocols. Through the<br> development of a cloud-based data service concept, and simulation of the data transmission conditions in<br> different scenarios, ATLAS has demonstrated that achieving fully autonomous navigation will be challenging<br> with current communications technology. However, V2I technologies could help to achieve autonomous<br> navigation in the short term as well as delivering additional operational benefits to road owners.
