What is PDE?
• Online access to core map data• For Platform business customers• All attribution (slopes, road type…) on top of the Platform attributes (speed,
func.class)• Thematic layers, geographically tiled, simple text or JSON format
• Platform customers don’t need to download + install RDF• … don’t need to compile into a binary format• … don’t need a hosting service / cloud• … devices / browsers don’t need complex PSF access libraries

PDE Use Cases
Attribute Use Case
Street Type Fleet management customers need to know on which road types a vehicle is driving.
Number of Lanes Fleet management companies need to know how many lanes the roads have that their vehicles use.
Builtup Areas Fleet management companies need to know if an asset is within or outside of an urban area for to risk management.
Road Condition Raise alerts if tracked vehicle leaves paved roads.
Slope Enables estimating fuel consumption and calculation of CO2 emission, for driver education or penalties.
Traffic Lights Enables enhanced estimation of potential trip delays due to traffic signals.
Curvature Assessment of driver behavior for risk calculation and truck trip planning.
Speed Limits Driver behavior analysis for risk calculation and speed warning alerts during drive.
Junction Views Integration of junction views for improved directions or guidance.
Toll Cost More accurate toll cost estimation for vehicle types based on toll roads and distances, on top of the info returned by the routing service.

PDE Concepts• Layers
– Thematically (driver alert, ADAS, road conditions, …)– Potentially all core map content + additional content (Digital Terrain Model,
…)
• Tiling & Levels– NDS compatible, WGS84 (not QuadKey), Platform compatible– Layers usually distributed into 5 levels (per functional class)
even for long routes need only load ~20 tiles
• IDs from Core Map (Link PVID, Carto PVID, Condition PVID…)– All map releases available fits to current Platform releases
• Binary content also available via file download– e.g. Junction View images

PDE Tiling & Levels
• Applications have to request a layer content tile on the correct PDE level (the tile size)– Specified in the layer documentation– For road layers: PDE level = functional class + 8
• Which tiles shall I request?– Lookup the level from the layer documentation– tile size = 180° / 2^level [degree]
– tileY = trunc((latitude + 90°) / tile size)– tileX = trunc((longitude + 180°) / tile size)
99
Why Tiles Irrelevant data just want data for the route links?• Reduce number of REST requests
– Tile contains info for multiple links, no need to request info for each link separately
– Cache tiles during the session, avoids redundant requests
• Web Service performance & cost efficiency– Tiles partially served out of Web caches less load on Web service
• Long routes start/end on minor roads and then mainly use major roads– PDE layers are split according to the road functional classes (highway,
federal,…)– Even for a long route, only ~20 tiles must be requested (highway tiles are
huge)
• Serve multiple use cases– Not only “link attributes along route”– E.g. show info for the current map display area, or selected administrative
areas

PDE Indexes
• Link_ID set of tile IDs• http://pde.cit.api.here.com/1/index.txt?

• http://pde.cit.api.here.com/1/index.json?

• The tile IDs can be used for any link based layer (of the same Functional Class),e.g. LINK_ATTRIBUTE layer
• Example response:
Layers: [ {layer: "ROAD_GEOM_FC1", level: 9, tileXYs: [534,397,536,398]}, {layer: "ROAD_GEOM_FC2", level: 10, tileXYs: [ ]}, {layer: "ROAD_GEOM_FC3", level: 11, tileXYs: [2139,1590]}, {layer: "ROAD_GEOM_FC4", level: 12, tileXYs: [ ]}, {layer: "ROAD_GEOM_FC5", level: 13, tileXYs: [8580,6376]} ]
