115 - ADAS Technology and PNT

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are technologies developed targeting a higher level of autonomous driving and security. These include, amongst others, alerting and warning, crash mitigation, driving assistance, visual environment monitoring and hands-free technology. PNT plays an important role in many of these systems.

Positioning plays and will play a key role in the future. Main concerns include high accuracy, fast convergence and integrity, features currently well under study. However, the more we advance in driving automation, the more automated navigation cases become prominent. These include, amongst others, Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM), Automated Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Centering Functions (LCF), dynamic route mapping, map-free navigation or vehicle-infrastructure convergence.

ADAS and self-driving technology is an opportunity for European PNT.

The objective of this activity is to get an overview on the latest trends on ADAS technology and understand PNT opportunities within the space.

The tasks to be performed shall include:

• Considering the SAE’s levels of driving automation, from Level 0 (no driving automation) to Level 5 (full driving automation), provide an overview of trends within ADAS technology related to SAE Level 2-5 in the next few years, understand the gap in PNT technologies and identify PNT-development opportunities for the next 2-5 years
• Explore the European landscape to identify actors across the supply chain that could work with NAVISP developing new PNT-related products and services in this area, identifying potential activities.

The main outputs of the activity will consist of:

• ADAS overview and role of PNT
• ADAS trends and PNT gaps / developments
• List of potential activities in the area of ADAS
