TDK Corporation has launched Trusted Positioning DRIVE, an integrated GNSS and INS software solution for advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS) as well as robotic and off-road vehicle platforms. DRIVE provides centimeter- to decimeter-level accuracy in real-world environments where GNSS alone is unreliable, providing customers the ability to scale and commercialize advanced control technologies economically. High-end inertial navigation systems deliver the accuracy needed for control, but their price and hardware complexity -are not feasible or practical to scale. DRIVE bridges this gap with a right-sized navigation solution, achieving the reliability needed to deploy advanced platforms without requiring expensive perception sensors. “Next-generation vehicles and machines need positioning that is accurate, available and affordable for commercialization of advanced control systems,” said Chris Goodall, president of Trusted Positioning.
