New indoor positioning solution for ADAS and AV testing and validation
Oxford Technical Solutions
Offering centimeter-level position accuracy and 1° heading accuracy, the new RT3000 v3 indoor positioning solution from Oxford Technical Solutions (OxTS) lets you take testing indoors with confidence.
The first instance of this solution was delivered in March 2021 at Horiba MIRA’s new Assured CAV parking facility, a first-of-its-kind, purpose-built multistory car park for the development and testing of automated valet parking (AVP) and other ADAS systems, such as park assist. The installation of OxTS’s new positioning technology meets Horiba MIRA’s requirements for better than 5cm position accuracy, and ≤/= 1° heading accuracy, up to speeds of at least 30km/h; this is ideal for parking scenarios that involve low-speed maneuvers with small vehicle-to-target distances. The solution also enables safe and repeatable path-following using AB Dynamics driving robots.
To achieve these outcomes, OxTS has introduced ultra-wideband (UWB) from technology partner Pozyx as an aiding source for the RT3000 v3. “The result is a solution that ensures the necessary safety, accuracy and repeatability to begin validating AVP and ADAS systems with confidence,” explains Ashley Patton, lead CAV test engineer at Horiba MIRA.
Development is now underway to extend the solution’s capability to include indoor-outdoor, outdoor-indoor and floor-to-floor transitions.
