vehicle automation

the need 

Driverless vehicles – those capable of sensing the environment and navigating without human input – require robust positioning and orientation information at all times, in all environments.  This information is necessary for the vehicles' navigation and control systems.

the challenge

Maintaining accurate position and orientation at all times – especially when the GNSS signal is interrupted or corrupted – is essential.  Travelling under bridges, in urban areas with tall buildings, and under tree canopies requires a positioning technology that must operate even in the absence of good GNSS. 

the solution

Applanix POS LV provides robust and accurate position and orientation estimates using inertial navigation, making it essential for enabling autonomous vehicles to navigate themselves through difficult driving conditions.
