Cooperative Integrated Navigation Systems for GNSS-Challenging Environments

Connected Cars is an emerging technology that aims at enhancing driving experience and improving safety, productivity, and integrity of transportation systems. Intelligent Mechatronic Systems Inc. (IMS) is a leader in telematics and infotainment technologies, including the convergence of both technologies in delivering the ultimate connected car experience. One of the core components in connected cars environment is an accurate and robust positioning system that can work in all environments. Current location technology is dominant by the popular Global Positioning System (GPS). However, GPS accuracy and availability are severely degraded in urban canyons and downtown areas due to high buildings and narrow streets. The proposed project aims at enhancing the infrastructure of IMS by developing a cooperative integrated navigation solution that improves accuracy and availability of navigation service in challenging environments such as urban canyons. The developed navigation system will reflect on the quality and efficiency of all IMS products.
