Mobile broadband evolution is on the path to 5G, the next generation in cellular networks. This brings exciting new opportunities to many industries, including autonomous vehicles. 5G technologies promise to deliver in three key areas: higher data speed, reduced...
Sensible 4 autonomous vehicles have a top travel speed of about 30 to 40 km/h. This works well for public transport in the city and is enough to avoid holding back other traffic. Cars can, of course, travel much faster than this. Expressways in many countries have...
One of the autonomous vehicles in the FABULOS pilot project last spring in Helsinki’s Pasila region was an ordinary-looking minibus. The only way to tell it’s not your everyday vehicle are the markings and sensors attached to it. But what truly matters, the...
There are two systems in an autonomous vehicle that use a variety of sensors to scan the vehicle’s surroundings: the Positioning System and the Obstacle Detection and Tracking System (ODTS). Although they provide the vehicle with information, these systems do not make...
An autonomous vehicle relies on two systems to understand its surroundings; the Positioning System and the Obstacle Detection and Tracking System (ODTS). Having discussed positioning in an earlier article, we’ll now focus on ODTS. The two systems share sensors, as...
Positioning and obstacle detection are the two foundations of autonomous driving. All driving relies on positioning. If a vehicle doesn’t know its location, it can’t place itself on a map or know where the road or the planned route goes. Without location, driving...
