Automotive Applications
In the automotive field, positioning technology is used for driver assistance systems and fleet management solutions. High-precision satellite-based systems such as GPS/Galileo, which now provide improved position accuracy of the order of a few meters and require no external correction input, are employed to enable, among other things, blind spot monitoring, traffic flow optimization and energy-efficient driving.
Another objective is the protection of vulnerable road users. The idea is to enable early detection of persons in the vicinity or path of a motor vehicle who cannot yet be seen and to warn the driver so that a collision can be avoided or at least significantly mitigated. The infrastructure needed for positioning could be installed in the car while the vulnerable road user would wear transponder “amulets” to enable cooperative location sensing.
Application examples:
Driver assistance systems for collision avoidance, vehicle control systems, high-precision machine control for agriculture and construction
