Next Generation Autonomous Vehicle Navigation Technology

There are three pillars that define navigation technology performance: cost, accuracy, and continuity. GNSS currently dominates the market by meeting accuracy and cost pillars at low cost. Alternative systems are needed because GNSS does not ensure continuity in all environments. Manufacturers are investigating low-cost, small navigation systems to meet autonomous vehicle and location service demands.

Summary:

There are three ‘pillars’ that define the performance or usefulness of a navigation technologies – cost,
accuracy, and continuity. Navigation is a field that has been fascinating humankind for thousands of years
and these pillars have been evolving with new technological advancements. The current market in
positioning and navigation is clearly dominated by GNSS. Besides being globally available, it meets two
important pillars: accuracy and cost by providing the whole range of navigation accuracies at very low
cost. It is also highly portable, has low power consumption, and is well suited for integration with other
sensors, communication links, and databases. At this point in the development of navigation technology,
the need for alternative positioning systems only arises because GNSS does meet the continuity pillar as
it does not work in all environments. Furthermore, there has been a constant market push to develop
navigation systems that are accurate, continuous and easy to afford. Needless to say, that cost, and space
constraints are currently driving manufacturers of cars, portable devices (e.g. smartphones), and
autonomous systems (e.g. self-driving, drones and agriculture machine systems) systems to investigate
and develop next generation of low cost and small size navigation systems to meet the fast-growing
autonomous vehicles and location services market demands. This presentation will provide a state of the
art and future trends of sensors used for navigation of autonomous vehicles: possibilities, limitations and
various design approaches. Emphasis will be on sensors and technologies that can navigate autonomous
vehicles everywhere and at any time independent of weather and light conditions. Some of the current
developed and possible future system’s accuracy performance will be demonstrated through different
implementations/applications.
