Thursday 13 October 2016 | 14:52 CET | News
Alibaba Cloud is offering Here location platform services through its global marketplace for technology partners. The collaboration will result in the integration of location functionalities for Alibaba Cloud customers and also connect Here to them through AliLaunch.
Location platform tools and functionalities from Here can now be integrated into services and applications and include the latest Here maps covering nearly 200 countries. Direction algorithms enhance the creation of flexible, customizable solutions for trucks, vans, cars, public transit and pedestrians, using matrix, isoline and real-time traffic data. Plus, historical traffic information helps improve planning, while Here Geocoder delivers high precision matching of coordinates and addresses.
Attendees to The Computing Conference 2016 this week can see the features first hand during demos at the event. Alibaba will also be showing a demonstration built using an Arduino board, a service designed to make connected devices location aware. The ITS World Congress 2016 app, powered by Here and developed for the recent Congress in Melbourne, will also be on display at The Computing Conference. The service enables the switch between indoor and outdoor navigation capabilities. Attendees can use the app to find booth and session locations within the walls of the convention center and points of interest and amenities in the city and along the way.
