TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lighthouse Technology and Consulting Co., Ltd (Tokyo, JAPAN. Founder and Representative Director: Hiroaki Maeda) (LHTC) is proceeding a program to collect precise GNSS data on major highways in Japan. The data is an inevitable “must use” tools for high precision positioning systems used in automated driving vehicles.
Backgrounds of the data collecting
Automated driving on
public streets has issues to overcome, and the competition to develop
the technology among companies are gradually accelerating due to recent
technologies’ progress in sensors, image recognition, and AI. In
addition, Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (Japanese version of GPS) has
brought attention to centimeters leveled high precision positioning.
When
dealing with satellite positioning technology for automated driving
systems, it is inevitable to have a variety of high precision field data
at the point of development, testing, and fine tuning prior to the
driving test of the vehicles, and to have the reference position data at
the point of evaluation.
To utilize the collected data
LHTC is planning to finish the
data collecting by December 2017, and after consolidating the data, will
start the service to provide the data package “Mobile GNSS Field Data
Set” and high precision positioning system products for developing
mobile vehicle applied technology.
“Mobile GNSS Field Data Set” is
a package of field data and precise reference position data, which will
accelerate the development speed for consumers by decreasing the time
and cost to systemize and do all the data collecting by themselves.
