With the aim of testing the Local Dynamic Map (LDM) system in real environment conditions, during the European ITS congress, this year Vicomtech will be doing a demonstration of the implementation to reinforce the new scientific work that will be presented in one of the sessions of the congress: "RTMaps-based Local Dynamic Map for [...]

In order to ensure the safety of both the people in an autonomous vehicle and the pedestrians, cyclists and other road users around it, detailed information about the surroundings must be obtained. Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) sensors actively scan the environment with a laser and create a precise 3D point cloud that allows [...]

  The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) took place January 5-8, 2022 and featured a live demo from Hexagon | NovAtel with the GNSS-based high-precision positioning technology used by the ACCURATE On-Board Unit (OBU). The positioning technology, embedded within Valeo’s 5G Vulcano Telematics Control Unit (TCU), enabled autonomous driving on public roads during the conference. [...]

  Vicomtech has submitted a new scientific paper to the Vehicles journal by MDPI, the work “iLDM: An Interoperable Graph-Based Local Dynamic Map”, is already available in the official website. In the framework of the project, the authors have developed a local dynamic map (LDM) implementation as a software solution for cooperative intelligent transport [...]

The ACCURATE project aims at developing an On-Board Unit (OBU) in the automotive environment to reach the SAE L4 and SAE L5 automated driving levels. SAE L4 and SAE L5 levels require a high level of automated awareness of the vehicles position, velocity, and timing information. To enable the system to receive such information, [...]

Experience Accurate Solution   Our partners Hexagon | Novatel and Valeo will be at CES Las Vegas from January 5th to 8th 2022 delivering an innovative live demo and representing ACCURATE project. ACCURATE system is built on Valeo’s Vulcano TCU with automotive grade, mass market dual frequency GNSS receiver and MEMS IMU, and it [...]

Next Generation Data Fusion on the On Board Unit In the ACCURATE project, we are developing an On Board Unit (OBU) to enable highly automated driving at SAE levels 4 and 5 by making use of EGNSS. On the path towards autonomous vehicles, precise and reliable absolute positioning is no longer a convenience but a [...]

Positioning   technology as the key to autonomous driving Positioning has evolved from being a commodity in vehicles to aid the driver in the navigation process to becoming a key enabling technology for the automated driving roadmap. Automated (SAE-L3 to L5) and semi-automated (SAE-L2 to L3) vehicles that are entering the market need to know [...]

Valeo and Hexagon demonstrated the high precision positioning system of the ACCURATE at the ITS World Congress in Hamburg The system was built on Valeo's Vulcano TCU with automotive grade, mass market dual frequency GNSS receiver and MEMS IMU. It ran Hexagon's Software Positioning Engine and TerraStar X correction service to enable lane level [...]

Accurate has gathered high-level partners to develop an on-board positioning unit that enables highly automated driving The Accurate project is led by Vicomtech, an applied research technology centre specialized in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision & Interaction . This technology centre located in San Sebastián, Spain, is contributing his experience in computer vision for the [...]
