TDK Corporation introduces the groundbreaking Trusted Positioning DRIVE software, revolutionizing positioning in advanced driver-assist systems, robotic platforms, and off-road vehicles by combining GNSS data with inertial navigation system measurements. Achieving remarkable accuracy of centimeter to decimeter in challenging environments with limited satellite signal reception.
DRIVE effectively processes data from GNSS receivers and inertial measurement units to ensure continuous position, velocity, and orientation even during satellite signal interruptions. Its capabilities extend to tunnels, urban areas, and regions with weak satellite coverage. The software caters to a wide range of applications including driver-assist systems, industrial vehicles, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and logistics systems requiring precise lane-level positioning.
Real-time kinematic corrections from compatible GNSS receivers enable centimeter-level accuracy, while integrity monitoring ensures data consistency for safety critical applications. The system provides ego velocity estimation, reporting vehicle speed and direction relative to the platform for seamless control algorithms. Navigation resumes instantly post power cycle without requiring any initialization time.
DRIVE seamlessly integrates with various GNSS receiver types and inertial measurement units, calibrated for deployment across vehicle and machine platforms operating at automation levels up to Level 2 and beyond.
The software is readily available for evaluation and integration, promising enhanced performance and reliability in positioning applications.
