Profound Positioning Inc. offers its Instant Vehicle Tracking service to automobile manufacturers, integrators, and solution providers.
FREMONT, CA: Profound Positioning Inc., the world's leading navigation and positioning software provider, is revolutionizing the market with its Instant Vehicle Tracking (IVT) technology. Profound Positioning Inc. provides constant decimeter-level accuracy with advanced multi-sensor fusion and is the only cost-effective solution that delivers the performance required for safer, more efficient driving everywhere vehicles go.
“Our vision is to be the leading provider of affordable, continuous, reliable, and accurate navigation solutions,” says Dr. Naser El-Shiemy, CEO of Profound Positioning Inc. “We are able to achieve navigation everywhere, with dollar-level sensors. This is truly a game-changer.”
Instant Vehicle Tracking, developed by Profound Positioning Inc., integrates the benefits of Precise Point Positioning (PPP) GNSS, inertial, and radar technologies to deliver unequaled precision and continuous accuracy at a meager cost. Additionally, it is highly adaptable, making it ideal for integration with various navigation sensors, communication links, and databases.
Vehicle navigation requires constant decimeter-level resolution regardless of the vehicle's location or the weather conditions. The following factors contribute to achieving this performance: poor continuity due to weather conditions, satellite and base station obstruction, or a lack of base station infrastructure; errors in GNSS data and poor integration between GNSS and dead reckoning or other sensor systems; high cost, or affordable sensors with poor performance; and slow resolution with lag time for corrections and sensing. With a thorough understanding of both industry expectations and the technology required to meet them, Profound Positioning Inc. built its Instant Vehicle Tracking system to address all of these concerns and provide the most accurate, cost-effective, and time-efficient solution possible.
Based on a firmware library and rapidly adaptable to any navigation platform, IVT integrates PPP, DR, and radar technologies to provide decimeter-level positioning accuracy, as well as orientation and velocity, in a global solution that performs in tunnels, dense urban environments, multi-level highway junctions, and even parkades. Resolution is speedy, with inaccuracies of less than 1 percent of the distance traveled. No base stations are required, and the operational range is unrestricted.
Driver assistance, mobility and taxi, autonomous cars, geofencing, fleet monitoring, insurance, driving and safety management, and linked driving are all examples of vehicle uses for Instant Vehicle Tracking.
