Vehloc accelerates positioning and navigation-system product design from algorithm development to implementation, relying on highly flexible online/offline validation.
It helps explore advanced cooperative or hybrid data-fusion systems suitable for harsh operating environments, such as:

• Assisted or autonomous driving
• Infrastructure requirements and associated algorithms for vulnerable road users’ (VRU) safety
• Localization and navigation resilience under GNSS outage (e.g., deep urban canyons)

Leti’s solution helps generate test vectors and databases for evaluation purposes with respect to “ground truth”
and relative benchmarks of advanced fusion algorithms.

A complete vehicle test platform, including a ground-truth system

• Hardware comes with extensive know-how to carry out in-the-field performance tests and related metrology tasks. This includes database management, performance-indicator selection and automated algorithm optimization.

 Flexibility and modularity of validation procedures

• Localization scenarios can be recorded in log files for consumer metrics and high-end components. Fusion algorithms can then be fine-tuned offline.
• Sensor choice and dimensioning may be selected based on application performance specifications and final product implementation constraints.
• Multiple levels of cooperative deployment are supported, from pure standalone to vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) in VANETs or even vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) (with various infrastructure densities).
  
  

Unique possibility to evaluate most innovative localization approaches and advanced technologies in a realistic vehicular context, such as:

• Accurate V2V/V2I IR-UWB ranging under representative mobility
• Context-aware multi-sensor fusion
• V2V/V2I cooperation
