Self-Driving/Assisted Driving Positioning System Software
FY 2018-19 · 2018-04-01
Summary
The proposed project is to develop a positioning system software for self-driving/assisted driving vehicular applications. The new software will permit: (1) high-precision stand-alone global navigation satellite system (GNSS) operation insensitive to wireless communication disconnection with correction to signal outages; (2) high-precision stand-alone inertial navigation system (INS) operation without GNSS aiding; (3) Continuously available and robust multi-sensor navigation solutions in challenging environments.

Description (French)
Le projet proposé consiste à développer un logiciel de système de positionnement pour les automobiles autonomes / les applications de conduite assistée de véhicules. Le nouveau logiciel permettra : (1) un fonctionnement insensible au débranchement de communication sans fil avec correction pour signaler les pannes d'un système de géolocalisation et navigation par un système de satellites (GNSS) autonome et à haute précision ; (2) un fonctionnement sans aide GNSS d'un système de navigation par inertie (INS) autonome et à haute précision ; (3) les solutions de navigation multi-capteurs continuellement disponibles et robustes dans des environnements difficiles.
